In years past, I would attempt to see about 25 movies in the theatres every year, but this year has been drastically different with my only seeing about a dozen movies in the theatre this time around. The movies I enjoyed the most include: Mary Poppins Returns, The Black Panther, Bohemian Rhapsody and Avengers: Infinity War.

1. Black Panther – 700 million
