CineDrunk: Best of 2019 - Top Ten Lists

/

Remember 2019? We don’t either.

Luckily we do remember a few of the movies we saw, enough to create personal top ten lists, one from each of your CineDrunk hosts. We’ve got Popes, portraits, and parasites, and we even found a few of those elusive Lady Directors!

These are the 2019 movies that stuck with us, the movies that helped us understand ourselves and our world, or just let us escape for a few hours, or reminded us of beauty we’d forgotten.

Cheers to 2019. Cheers to art. Cheers to voting the national tumor out of office in 2020. Onward!

CineDrunk: Best of 2015 - Top Ten Lists

bb8

It's that time of year! We've seen more than one hundred 2015 movies, so it's high time we rank them--unmercifully.

Just kidding, we're as giddy as BB-8 to talk about this impressive crop of films. And we do just that in our latest CineDrunk podcast. Without further ado, our long-awaited top ten episode in which we are drunk on movies, lists, and celery martinis. Cheers!

Celery Martini
(adapted from Saveur)

2 oz London Dry Gin
1.5 oz lemon juice
1.5 oz dry vermouth
celery salt
lime wedge
celery hearts

Rim a martini glass with lime wedge and celery salt. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add gin, lemon juice, and vermouth. Shake vigorously and strain into rimmed glass. Garnish with a celery heart.
 

Watch the blog in the coming days for our full write-ups on the films that were most special to us in 2015. Want more? You can't possibly, but there's more anyway! Below is a short (we promise!) bonus podcast where we discuss even more films we loved from last year, though not quite enough to make any of our lists. Spiked hot chocolate is involved.
