Movies 2017-2019, totals 32, 33, and 34

Multiple lists on this page cover 2017 through 2019. Other years are accessed through the top page for ‘Movies‘ at this link:

Movies are simply listed alphabetically within year viewed. Some may link to very brief commentary. “Star” ratings are included, e.g. … 7*=Seven stars, which makes it ‘watchable’ while 10* is for epics like Doctor Zhivago, which excels in history, acting, scenery, story, and score. (I’ve been told I’m harsh with my ratings – but softened in 2021.)

Longer “reviews” are the domain of other entertainment:
