Still remember the films which have made you thrilled? Here are some recommended ones by the BBC in 2019.
Captain Marvel
Brie Larson stars as Marvel's latest superhero, Carol Danvers, who discovers her powers as Captain Marvel. Set in the 1990s, the story has Danvers searching for her true identity while tying to save the earth during a war between alien races. The film Avengers may get more pre –release attention, but Captain Marvel might be the fresher film in the release.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino's films always make noise. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the fading star of a television Western and Brad Pitt is his stunt (特技) double, in a story set in 1969, soon before the Manson murders. All those stars don't come cheap: the film reportedly cost $95 million. With its name similar to Once Upon a Time in the West, this film clearly has big ambitions.
The Lion King
Disney gives one of its most beloved animated films a high-tech remake, using lifelike computer images. James Earl Jones, once again the voice of Mustafa, was apparently the only irreplaceable actor from the 1994 film. Here Donald Glover is the voice of the adult Simba. The theme singer Elton John has reworked songs from the original.
Downton Abbey

Downton Abbey
The Crawley family and their servants all return, except for the characters who have been killed off. The story picks up around 1927, after the series ended on a happy note, with no one in prison and romance all around. Writer Julian Fellowes must have cooked up some disasters.

When we are happy, we would like share our happiness with others, making them know our enjoyment. When we are not in a good mood, we wanted to get someone whom can listen to us. Be a listener is not easy. People always complain about our worries, and a good listener should listen to them but learn to comfort them. To be a good listener can help us make good friend with others. The one who always listen to others is more likely to be easy-going. When he is in the trouble, his friends will be willingly to help him. So let’s learn to be a good listener from now on.
