As usual for the end of the year, here’s everything I saw at the cinema in 2024.  Again a mix of new movies (63) and some re-releases (31 – although 8 I’d not seen before!), and quite a variety too. Only a couple of really, really bad films, but quite a few middling ones that probably should have been a bit better.
