The year in movies was notable for Netflix, the first through third movies watched on a plane on a phone and the only 2 movies in a theater being Star Wars. Star Wars: Rogue One was so nice I saw it twice. I have no idea what Christmas movie during the binge watch was the worst. I also watched some of Love Actually while setting up the Christmas tree and many Netflix shows.
