Drive My Car - Ryusuke Hamaguchi's masterpiece has staked its claim as my favourite ever movie. As the characters navigate grief, guilt and their perceived inadequacies, expertly interwoven into the rehearsal of a play.

Football is supposed to be fun and Ange Postecoglou's Spurs are damned fine fun. Don't listen when they say it's a results game.

Anora - there was a point where I was thinking this lacked the sizzle of Tangerine or the wonder of The Florida Project, what's all the fuss about? Then Anora grabbed my heart and squeezed and squeezed and squeezed.

#Anora #FilmSky

Last Summer - I loathed the protagonist so much, the film almost became a hate watch. However, their single minded pursuit of their own self destruction was compelling viewing.

Ordinary People - first time watch and "oh my" what a movie. Donald Sutherland delivered a mesmerising performance supported by Mary Tyler Moore's subtle but powerful acting.

#OrdinaryPeople #FilmSky

Blitz - a sumptuous feast for the eyes, with many gorgeous Steve McQueen Directorial flourishes. But a clunky story, filled with more Cockney clichés than a Guy Ritchie movie, left me frustrated.

With such a great result... Here are the best people to follow and soak up the glory with. #COYS #THFC

Nocturnal Animals - what a hidden gem of a movie. This movie absolutely gripped me, with a great lead performance from Amy Adams.

#NocturnalAnimals #FilmSky

Decision to Leave - second time around with this lesser Park Chan-wook. Lacked the anger of the Vengeance Trilogy or the kink of The Handmaiden. However, still a great addition to my list of Noirs and Femme Fatales.

Here's a list of the Thinkers, Journalists, Podcasters and other poor COYS souls (Awaiting others to migrate). Covers Men's and Women's Team.

Would prefer to add suggestions to list, rather than wanting to add yourself.

In the Cut - an incredible zag from The Piano's Jane Campion. This interesting Erotic Slasher would not look out of place in Brian De Palma's oeuvre. #InTheCut #Filmsky

Tangerine - After sitting on my Watchlist for too many years. What a marvel of a movie with two fantastic lead performances. Sean Baker continues to find the magic in the everyday lives of those on the fringes of society. #Tangerine #Filmsky

Ghostlight, a beautiful movie about a family dealing with grief, through an amateur production of Romeo and Juliet. Will definitely be in my Films of the Year list. #Filmsky #Ghostlight
