2019 will go down in film history for many reasons. The streaming service Netflix has finally been forced into the competition. In the spring, the highest-grossing film in the history of cinema, Avengers: Endgame, was released. This movie closed the ten-year history of Marvel and earned more than $ 2.7 billion at the box office. In autumn, the final victory for comics over other stories was brought by Joker – Todd Phillips’ tough drama about the formation of one of Batman’s main enemies raised more than a billion dollars. This is also a record for films with the highest age rating. However, from all these options, we have decided to compile a list of the following movies.
Parasite
The film by Korean director Bong Joon-ho became a real hit at the Cannes Film Festival, where he won the Palme d’Or for best film. Parasite tells the story of a poor Korean family who gets a job at a rich family’s house by cunning. With a budget of $11 million, Parasite grossed $124 million and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year. Bong Joon-ho’s picture also got the main Oscar nomination.

Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino returned to the screens in the summer when his new project, dedicated to the decline of the golden era of Hollywood, was released. Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie star in this film, which celebrates the career of once-famous actor Rick Dalton, who has moved into minor roles. Along with this, Tarantino replays the finale of the story with the murder of director Roman Polanski’s wife Sharon Tate. At the festival in Cannes, “Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood” also received a prize – the “Palm Dog Award”.
Avengers: Endgame
This film became the main picture in the third phase of Marvel history and broke box office records. The movie by Anthony and Joe Russo is a sequel to Avengers: Infinity War, in which superheroes are trying to defeat the titan Thanos, who destroyed half the inhabitants of all planets, including on Earth. The Avengers won the MTV Award for Best Picture, Best Villain, and Best Hero.
Joker
Another comic book movie that doesn’t look like the Marvel movies at all. Project Todd Phillips tells the story of Arthur Fleck, a schizophrenic from Gotham, who will soon turn into the famous Joker. An acutely social and sometimes tough drama about a small person in a big and evil city has collected more than a billion dollars at the box office. The Joker competed for the Golden Globes and Oscars, and the lead actor Joaquin Phoenix received these awards for his acting.
Irishman
Martin Scorsese’s hit was released on Netflix in the fall and was considered the best film of the year. Scorsese revisits the theme of the mafia and crime in this film which stars Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci.
