Favorite Movies of 2019

My partner in life and art, Tammy Remington, and I watched 97 movies this year.  
(Down from 149 in 2018, perhaps due to travel — Spain & Portugal and Burning Man.)

 Alejandro Jodorovsky's "Endless Poetry"

Our favorite 12 in no particular order.

These were films we saw for the first time this year, no matter when they were made.
