Back for the second year looking at the top 10 films I am now pleased to add to my watched list. It may surprise you that some of the films on this list I only watched for the first time EVER in 2013! Some are those that I may have just caught up with from recent years thanks to Netflix having some hidden gems of films which may not have been out long at the cinema.
They aren’t actually listed in any particular order in terms of quality of the film, just picked a top 10 out of how ever many new films I watched over the year. Some may have been missed if I didn’t review them on the blog. But that is part of the reason for blogging reviews to keep track of the films I have watched. You will find a few words to go with each film and also a link to the full review from after I watched the film!
