Films I watched in 2022

Here’s my now-traditional list of the films I watched this year! I’m not entirely sure how I managed to watch so many while writing/editing/publishing They Lie Here, reading a ton of books and everything else that’s happened.

If you have by any chance noticed that I didn’t include Persuasion in this list, even though I did a ‘film of the book’ post about it, that’s because I didn’t properly watch the film as it was so bad.

You may also have noticed that I watched every James Bond film. I’d never seen any Bond films before (other than clips occasionally) so I borrowed the box set and watched one every 2 or 3 weeks!
