2017 Movies, Part 2

So, we are slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things. And now that we are further from more people, getting back into the blog routine is more important! So, I thought I would start with something easy. Earlier, I posted a partial list of the films we had watched in 2017. Before I recycle last year's calendar, I wanted to finish that off! The first list went through mid-May 2017, so here is the rest of the year.

Several of these were for school or were the movie adaptation of a book or play that Phoebe read.

We had our usual Star Wars marathon over Thanksgiving and Harry Potter marathon during Christmas, though they were a bit abbreviated.

We choose the film we see in the theater carefully, and this year's choices did not disappoint. Wonder Woman was absolutely amazing. Both Phoebe and I were ready to sit through it again as soon as the credits started to roll. Orient Express was also really good, and The Last Jedi, as expected, was fantastic.

There are probably some missing, as I wasn't keeping track when we were in the hotel (though I don't think we watched any movies) or for much of October.

Phoebe is starting World History through Film next week, so there will be several movies to watch in the coming weeks!
