2019 was a banging year for films.

Parasite was released in 2020 in the UK.

I saw:

Endgame - really good
Joker - loved it
Rise of Skywalker - utter bag of toss
1917 - loved it

I only ever go the cinema with my kids so my 2019 movie list was as follows:

Toy Story 4 - Very good
Aladdin - Good
Frozen II - Good
Rise of Skywalker - strawberry floating trash

2019
Glass
Vice
Alita:Battle Angel
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
Green Book
Captain Marvel
Us
Pet Sematary
Hellboy
Shazam!
Avengers Endgame
John Wick: Chapter 3
Aladdin
Pokémon Detective Pikachu
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Dark Phoenix
Men in Black
Brightburn
Toy Story 4
Spider-Man: Far From Home
Hobbs and Shaw
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
It: Chapter Two
Joker
Terminator Dark Fate
Doctor Sleep
Ford V Ferrari
Knives Out
Jumanji
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Knives Out was my favourite of those. I think Rise of Skywalker might actually be the worst.

2020
Jojo Rabbit
1917
Bombshell
The Personal History of David Copperfield
A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood
The Lighthouse
Birds of Prey
Parasite
Dark Waters

Parasite is the standout this year.

Forgot about Godzilla, really enjoyed that.

I had assumed 1917 was released this year too.

It was, unless you're in the US or a pirate!

I was sure it came out before Christmas.

First film I watched in a cinema in nearly 4 years as well, looking forward to my next cinema trip in 2024.

More films need to come to Netflix sooner.

Far superior audio and less image compression.

It depends. Some blu-ray masters are about the same as a 4K Netflix stream, for example.

The bitrate is somewhere between 10 and 40mbps I think using a very similar codec. Both Blu-ray and Netflix use the H.264 standard at the moment.

But yeah, I don't think any streams have proper multichannel or 96-192KHz audio support.

I was thinking of UHD, I tend to just call that bluray. But yes you're right, some Netflix stuff can look as good as a bluray no question.

I'm being a bit reductive. If there's a series or film I really enjoy, and know I'll want to watch again and again, I'll get the DVD, maybe the bluray if it's a more recent release where I don't mind paying extra for the prettier visuals.

But generally, for just watching films and shows I'm not familiar with for the first time, £15 for a single cinema ticket or single DVD just can't compete with £10/month for unlimited access to a massive library of stuff.
