If you thought Michael Bluth’s “Arrested Development” shenanigans or Marty Byrde’s “Ozark” misfortunes were the worst problems Jason Bateman would face in his career, the one he faces in HBO’s new Stephen King miniseries “The Outsider” will leave you surprised and horrified.

2019 was a terrific year for movies, one of the best of the past decade. This past year, we saw enchanting remakes, Hollywood epics from legendary filmmakers, blockbuster knockouts, disturbing looks at society, technical masterpieces and movies that simply don’t get made anymore. 2019 was a year that made us appreciate the art of cinema for what it can do and see the world in different ways. Below are 2019’s 10 best films in order.

Everybody knows Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel “Little Women.” This is a story that has already been adapted to the screen for both film and television several times since 1933, as well as for theatrical productions both big and small. Director Greta Gerwig, using source material she clearly adores, somehow manages to bring this already-familiar story to life in a burst of fresh energy that stands as one of 2019’s very best films.

Director Sam Mendes’ “1917” is a WWI film that catches your attention, invites you into its domain and captures you in its glory from the very beginning. There have been hundreds of war films made over the years, but few have achieved such technical brilliance as this visual miracle of a movie, making it stand as the best war film since 1998’s “Saving Private Ryan.”

When it was announced that a posthumous Mac Miller would be released this past Friday, new and old fans alike had a bit of a moment. Some of us excited, genuinely looking forward to hearing the accompaniment album to “Swimming,” which was released in 2018. However, for a large segment of Mac fans, the announcement was bittersweet.

Unlike many New Year’s resolutions to spend more time unplugging and disconnecting — my own involves spending more time focusing on the screen, not less. 2019 was largely a mixed bag for television. Some shows like “Fleabag” and “Succession” broke out from first-season success stories to become second-season award darlings, while others like “Game of Thrones” failed to provide a satisfying conclusion that fully resonated with fans. Regardless of whether or not you believe (spoiler alert — Bran) should sit upon the Iron Throne, 2020 provides a fresh slate of new originals, adaptations and many others from across streaming everywhere. Don’t worry, favorites like “BoJack,” “Ozark,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Westworld” will be returning too, but for now, these are just a few of the newbies you should check out in the coming months.

Best known for his hilarious work on “Saturday Night Live” and his god awful comedy films, Adam Sandler delivers a performance so on-key and so pitch perfect in “Uncut Gems” that we forget we’re witnessing the work of an actor.

Take a look at any film critic’s Top 10 List of 2019 and you will certainly find Noah Baumbach's “Marriage Story” at the top. A guaranteed nominee for Best Picture at the upcoming Academy Awards and a likely contender to win, this is a film I wanted to adore and rave about to everyone, yet sadly the film falls short of glory to be fully deserving.

Declaring one’s major can be intimidating for many college students. As young adults with limited experience in the real world, it can be hard to know what one will do for the rest of their life.

“Dolomite is my name and f*cking up motherf*ckers is my game,” was the common phrase comedic legend Rudy Ray Moore gave himself in his hit films in the 1970s. The comedian portrayed Dolemite, the pimp who battled criminals and engaged in various outlandish humorous situations. His work appealed largely to Black audiences across America and he became a huge icon within the Black community.

The winner of the prestigious Palme d’Or back in May at the Cannes Film Festival, South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho has crafted the most original and entertaining film of 2019 in “Parasite” — a film layered in style and creativity.

One of 2019’s most anticipated films, “The Irishman” seemed too good to be true when the project was originally announced. Not only was it to be directed by Martin Scorsese, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, but the director would bring together screen legends Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci in a film that sounded dreamlike for fans of mob films and the crime genre.

“Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” released in August of this year, mostly went unnoticed and unspoken about, and for good reason. I expected much, much more from a Guillermo del Toro production. While never taking itself too seriously and trying to develop a fun, care-free story about kids versus monsters, this is a film that instantaneously starts off horribly and only goes downward.

“Ford v Ferrari” is an exhilarating film that is based on the journey of automotive designer (and ex-race car driver) Carroll Shelby and race car driver Ken Miles to build a car for Ford to compete against Ferrari at the race 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.

Art can take many forms. The mind wanders immediately to forms of media such as television or the songs and performances created by today’s music industry. In all artwork, representation and opportunity has become an objective of the highest importance. This shows itself in what art looks like or what it contains, but also in who creates it or performing it.

Disability, entertainment and sexuality has been a convoluted relationship not typically explored in mainstream media. There are many societal misconceptions of people with disabilities being seen as non-normative, other or deviant, which has shaped how sexuality of people with disabilities is seen as problematic under the public gaze.
