Due to my job change, I had a lot of free time in the early months of the year so I got a lot of films in during this time. I wasn’t a huge fan of most of the “blockbusters” that were released this year – I wasn’t impressed by Oppenheimer or Barbie and the last Indiana Jones film wasn’t great either (although it was probably better than I had expected). I’ve put some favorites in bold type.
