Mine are (in this order):

1) "Let Him Go"
2) "The Gentlemen"
3) "The Invisible Man"
4) "Soul"
5) "Mank"
6) "Palm Springs"
7) "The Go-Go's" (documentary)
8) "Hunter Hunter"
9) "Blackbird"
10) "The Wretched"

"The Trial of the Chicago 7" and "Let Them All Talk" just missed my top 10. I still need to see "Nomadland", "Another Round" and "Promising Young Woman". Not a new film, but I also really enjoyed "The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone".

Ash Ketchum

The only 2020 releases I saw this year were Japanese pop music concerts, new episodes of Power Rangers, and Japanese superhero TV shows.

DJariya

Bad Boys for Life (not an Oscar Winner, but fun escapism)
The Invisible Man
The Way Back (mainly for Ben's performance)
The Outpost
Let Him Go
Love and Monsters
Freaky (also just for the pure fun escapism)
Bee Gees: How can you mend a broken heart (HBO)
Soul
Totally Under Control (Hulu) I know most of you are sick and tired of COVID, but this was a fantastic film about how the U.S. just bungled handling the pandemic.

Much like Ash, I've seen almost zero 2020 releases. So by default:
Bloodshot
Eurovision
#Alive
Project Power
The Platform (American release)
We Summon the Darkness
Over the Moon
WW84

I've done a ton of first-time watches, though. 25 of which were non-Anglo films, 13 or 14 of which were Japanese classics. Of all of those, I'd say Spirited Away or Hausu.

TheAllPurposeNothing

Almost everything I've seen this year are documentaries, so:

Oof, it’s been a rough year...

There are still a few that I need to see that might crack the top 10: Tenet, Let Him Go, News of the World, Promising Young Woman.

TomOpus

Yeah, there's several I still want to check out. There's still some good stuff out there.

I've seen so few of the type of movies that I like this year, the only one that stands out is Underwater. Admittedly, there are a couple that I want to see but haven't yet: Tremors: Shrieker Island and Wonder Woman 1984. That's it for 2020.

Daytripper

Edit: I watched "Promising Young Woman" tonight and I'd like to add this to my top 10 list (maybe #2). Great twisted dark comedy. I'm a huge fan of Carey Mulligan and this is her best performance to date. As much as I loved Diane Lane in "Let Him Go", I think Mulligan deserves the Oscar for this. She's fantastic. I hope the film also gets a Best Picture and Screenplay nomination.

PatD

I didn't get to see many films from 2020, so by default I choose: Bill & Ted Face the Music and a little gem from the beginning of the year called, Come As You Are.

Runaway

1. The Trial of the Chicago 7
2. The Gentlemen
3. Tenet
4. The Invisible Man
5. 1917
6. Richard Jewell
7. Onward
8. Just Mercy
9. Soul
10. Palm Springs

I am the only person in the world who did not love The Invisible Man. I get there is nostalgia for it being the last film many people saw in theaters ... but it isn’t that good.


Going to have to give this some thought, as my perceived timeline this year is screwed up ...

Films from 2020 or films we saw in 2020?

Runaway

Perhaps The Invisible is that good, but just not your taste. I have the same thing with Hereditray. I really don't get it. I think it's an OK movie, but nothing more.

I guess this thread asks for movies from 2020.
