Goodbye, Christopher Robin. (October 13, 2017) “British biographical drama film about the lives of Winnie-the-Pooh creator A. A. Milne and his family, especially his son Christopher Robin.”
Wonder. (November 17, 2017) Based on the book by R.J. Palacio.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi. (December 15, 2017) No, I haven’t seen it yet.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. (December 20, 2017) Based on the picture book by Chris Van Allsburg.
The Greatest Showman. (December 20, 2017) Starring Hugh Jackman as circus showman P.T. Barnum.
Darkest Hour. (December 22, 2017) If it’s about Winston Churchill, I want to see it.
A Wrinkle in Time. (March 9, 2018) Based on the book by Madeleine L’Engle.
Chappaquiddick. (April 6, 2018) (Has this movie already been released?) Anyway, it’s about Ted Kennedy and his infamous drunk driving accident that killed his young companion, Mary Jo Kopechne.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25, 2018) Directed by Ron Howard. “Han Solo and Chewbacca’s adventures before joining the Rebellion, including their early encounters with Lando Calrissian.”
Christopher Robin (August 3, 2018) “An adult Christopher Robin, who is now focused on his new life, work, and family, suddenly meets his old friend Winnie the Pooh, who returns to his unforgotten childhood past to help him return to the Hundred Acre Wood and help find Pooh’s lost friends.”
Mary Poppins Returns (December 25, 2018) “In Depression-era London, a now-grown Jane and Michael Banks, along with Michael’s three children, are visited by the enigmatic Mary Poppins following a personal loss. Through her unique magical skills, and with the aid of her friend Jack, she helps the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives.” With Lin-Manuel Miranda! And Dick van Dyke!
Obviously, I like Star Wars and movies that are based on children’s books, with a little bit of history and movie bio-pic thrown into the mix.
We saw Goodbye Christopher Robin and enjoyed it. Darkest Hour is outstanding.
A few of those I also want to see, a few I hadn’t heard of. Goodbye Christopher Robin and Mary Poppins Returns were two of the latter, but I am intrigued! I’d also like to see The Last Jedi, Solo, Wonder, and The Greatest Showman.
