DW Top 20 2020

[Dan Warburton]

The année de merde isn't quite finished, but as I'm likely to be spending the rest of it finishing off a couple of series, I thought I'd spend a rainy afternoon trying to come up with a top 20. Will spare you the words (you can refer back to my "reviews" in the other thread if you're interested), but I can recommend each and every one of these fine movies without reservation. Hope you can find something to enjoy! Meanwhile, here's wishing you (whoever / wherever you are) an early Happy New Year - DW
