10 Movies I Want to Finally See in 2019!
Like I mentioned in my “life” goals and my TV-related posts over the last week, I want to take more time to veg out and catch up on films (and shows) in 2019. These are all films I’ve been meaning to watch—whether it’s been for years, or just a few weeks.
1. THOR: RAGNAROK
Based on the tweets I’ve seen, I think I must be part of the only 2% of bisexual people in the world who haven’t seen this film yet. ?
2. AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
Again, shocked I haven’t seen this. I used to stay super on top of the MCU films, but haven’t made the time to see the last few!
3. DUMPLIN’
I know this just came out, but I’m still surprised I haven’t watched it yet! (Let’s be honest, I might watch this before 2019 begins.)
4. HALLOWEEN (2018)
I wanted to go see this one in theatres, but it’s tough to find the chance to go when you have a toddler! ? So I’ll be checking this one out as soon as it hits Redbox.
5. ARMY OF DARKNESS
As much as I love the Evil Dead franchise, I realized recently that I still hadn’t watched Army of Darkness! I have no idea what to expect based on the snippets I’ve seen, but I’m always excited to see Bruce Campbell in action.
6. CAM
I feel like I’ve heard so many rave reviews about this new Netflix original that I have to watch it immediately.
7. BLUE VALENTINE
I completely forgot this existed until scrolling through the oldest reaches of my Netflix List a few days ago, but now I keep thinking I should watch it, because it must have intrigued me at some point, and it has pretty solid reviews. (Plus… Ryan Gosling.)
8. IT: CHAPTER 2
Do I even have to say anything? Chapter 1 of the reboot was AMAZING and I’m so excited for Chapter 2.
9. PET SEMATARY (2019)
I HAVE NO WORDS, ONLY EXCITE
10. THE LION KING (2019)
The Lion King was my childhood. Period. I can’t wait. ♥ LOOK AT THE PRECIOUS BABY SIMBA, how am I even supposed to cope with him losing Mufasa ???

December 24, 2018Gurl i haven’t seen thor ragnarock too i am part of that two percent. I will start watching more movies next year i hardly watched any this year
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018Hahahaha I’m glad I’m not alone at least!! Same, I don’t think I honestly sat through an entire movie from start to finish in this entire year until August, maybe? And even then it was only a couple of movies per month. Good luck to both of us on catching up next year! 😀
Louise
December 24, 2018I absolutely adore Ragnarok! I’ve seen it at least 5 times ? I really want to see Dumplin’ too. Great choices!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018Awww that makes me so happy ? I just realized last night that it’s on Netflix now which is so convenient, it’s like the universe is over here nudging me to watch it ASAP! Thank you, Louise!
Becca Leighanne (Bex)
December 24, 2018A definite YES for movies 1-4!!!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018I am TOO excited!!

December 24, 2018Infinity War is such a crazy movie in the best way 😀 I can’t wait to see what you think of it! Ragnarok had some good parts of it but I think the humor didn’t completely work for me, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018Aw, I’m sorry the Ragnarok humor didn’t do so well with you! I have high hopes just because I think the humor has been my favorite part of all of the MCU films I’ve seen so far.
MetalPhantasmReads
December 26, 2018It’s all good. It’s still enjoyable for sure. I think with over half the movie being improv, I wasn’t sure how to react to it. But still worth the watch 🙂
Kelly Brigid
December 24, 2018Oh, I have to watch Dumplin too! I LOVE Thor Ragnarok tho! It’s honestly one of my favorite Marvel movies now. So in my completely unbiased opinion, I think that should be the first one you watch! Hehe. Lovely list! ?
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018Dumplin’ looks so precious! And I love the cast. 🙂 Hahaha well conveniently enough, I noticed last night that Ragnarok is on Netflix, so it should be an easy one to prioritize! 😀 Thank you so much, lovely! <3
tasya @ the literary huntress
December 24, 2018How do you manage to hold off seeing Ragnarok and Infinity War and avoid all the spoilers? ? It’s like a jungle out there ? I really want to watch more non-western movie next year, I think it’s really important to pay attention to them (going to write a separate post about the why and some recs soon ahaha!). But of course, I really want to see Dark Phoenix and Endgame next year, they are my most anticipated movies!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018I am very good at scrolling very quickly. ? Honestly though, I stayed off of social media as much as possible when Infinity War first came out, because I knew I wouldn’t get the chance to see it in theatres and I knew that was when the most spoilers would be posted. My spouse sadly didn’t luck out and got spoiled for a lot of stuff the weekend it released! Boooo. 🙁
journeyintobooks
December 24, 2018Great list I’m also looking forward to It: chapter 2 and Pet Sematary ???
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018Thank you! I hope they’re both AMAZING 😀
journeyintobooks
December 25, 2018You’re welcome ???
Whimsically Meghan
December 24, 2018You’re in for a real treat with Thor. I think that was the funniest Marvel film! 😀
I just watched Dumplin’ over the weekend. Oh.My.God. you need to watch it, especially if you’ve read the book. So many emotions; I love it! ❤️
Also Blue Valentine was a good movie. I watched it years ago, and if anything Ryan Gosling is really cute in this (not the best guy, but cute)
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018Aw, yay! I love the MCU sense of humor so I’m excited for the humor in Ragnarok. 🙂 And I’m also excited for the others, too, of course!
Kayla @ Books and Blends
December 24, 2018You have to watch Dumplin! It was really good!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 24, 2018I definitely will be watching it soon! 🙂
Gel
December 24, 2018I didn’t really like Thor in his previous movies but Ragnarok changed my mind so you have to go watch it!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 27, 2018Awww, yay! I like Thor so I’m hoping I’ll love him even more after Ragnarok!
mybookcastle
December 25, 2018watch thor and infinity war sooooooooooooooooon!! watched these last year and they were amazing. i’m so anxious for avengers: end game. and i can’t wait for the lion king. what a throwback.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 27, 2018Will do!! 😀 And yes, talk about a throwback indeed haha
anhdara13
December 25, 2018Thor: Ragnarok was GOOD. Up there with the best of the MCU in my opinion. I’m really looking forward to watching Dumplin’! I’ve just got few other movies to catch up on first.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 27, 2018Ooooh, excellent! I’m really looking forward to it!
Sarah
December 26, 2018Cam was sooo bizarre, I definitely want to hear your thoughts once you’ve seen it!! I’m also stoked for all of those 2019 releases. 🙂
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 27, 2018I’ll try to remember to DM you my thoughts when I watch it!!
Sarah
December 28, 2018Yes please do!! My sister and I watched it together and were yelling the whole time haha.
Kaleena @ Reader Voracious
December 27, 2018I also missed Halloween when it was theatres and I am so disappointed in myself. Can’t wait to watch it though, and Army of Darkness is so good!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 27, 2018Boooooo us! How dare we miss it ? But hopefully we’ll both get to see it soon!
inkymoments
December 27, 2018While all these movies are great, mostly excited for Dumplin’ and The Lion King. 🙂
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 27, 2018They’re so exciting! 😀
Annemieke
December 28, 2018Ragnarok was a lot of fun. And I’m not a thor fan haha. I still have to watch infinity war as well. Ugh. Right with you on it being hard to go to the theatres with a toddler. It is just hard to find time to watch anything mostly haha.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 28, 2018I’m excited for Ragnarok! Glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t gotten around to Infinity War yet though lol. Yes it is! In my house, it seems like all we watch is whatever he wants to watch. ?
Ellyn
December 28, 2018*cries* Thor Ragnarok is so good and Infinity War is so overhyped.
That being said, The Lion King and Dumplin’ both look great!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 28, 2018LMAO you are the first person I’ve heard call Infinity War overhyped but honestly I don’t doubt it, I tend to go into MCU films with my expectations held at bay because a lot of the ones everyone raves about are the ones I don’t love as much? ? Other than Black Panther, of course, because that was worth all the hype to me!
Ellyn
December 28, 2018Black Panther is amazing and worth every ounce of hype!
I love Ragnarok because the director just let the cast go ham and Taika Waititi is hilarious. But yeah, Infinity War is just way too much. It’s one of those movies where I’ll turn up for the first day of release and I’ll watch it at the cinema and I’ll buy the dvd but then I’ll probably never watch it again.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 28, 2018lmao I wish I didn’t know that feeling on the whole seeing it in theatres, buying it, then never rewatching it. My spouse told me last night he wants to watch IW, and I told him we have to watch Ragnarok first, and then we realized neither of us have seen Civil War (how???) and THEN he told me he’s never seen Winter Soldier, which is… probably my favorite film in the MCU besides Black Panther?! I WAS SHOOK. I didn’t realize he hadn’t seen it. ? So now we’re like, okay, we should just binge watch a whole bunch of them…
Ellyn
December 28, 2018Haha, honestly you’re not really missing all tha tmuch, but they are still fun to watch! Ragnarok is amazing, Civil War is skippable (seriously, just watch the trailer or read a summary), Winter soldier… is not my fave but to each their own, I’m glad you like it! Haha, you should do a mini re/watch! Let me know how you go! Also, random but have you seen Spider-Verse?
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 28, 2018No, I haven’t seen Spider-verse yet!! I want to so badly but we’re never really able to get to the theatres so I’m probably having to wait for that one to come out on DVD! Have you?
Ellyn
December 28, 2018I saw it the other day and absolutely loved it! It’s worth seeing in the cinema if you can make it, but it’s going to be amazing either way so don’t worry about it!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 29, 2018Oh good!! I’m really looking forward to it!
Bookish Rita
December 29, 2018Blue Valentine made me cry so much a few years ago when I watched it. Now that I’m in a lovely relationship I’m excited to see what kind of reaction it will get out of me! Guess I’ll find out in 2019 ?
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 29, 2018Oh nooooo, good to know it’s a tearjerker! ? I’ll make sure to save it for a day I have tissues handy!
Kathy @ Books & Munches
January 8, 2019OH. I saw the trailer for The Lion King when we went to see Crimes of Grindelwald not that long ago and I kept jumping up and down in my seat, pointing at the screen and staring at the BF. if THAT wasn’t obvious, I don’t know what would’ve been but he sure as hell is taking me on a date night to go and watch that movie. Little wiggle will simply have to annoy grandma for a night. :’)
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
January 14, 2019Bahahaha yesssss. I hope he got the hint. 😛
