Re: Your Top 10 of 2021

I need to amend my top 10 list slightly

Raya and Judas are out.

In are:

Roadrunner: A Film about Anthony Bourdain - Amazing film about my favorite TV/Travel personality who is gone way too soon.

Blue Bayou: A movie that almost no one saw about illegal adoptions and a family torn apart by it. A great film by Justin Chon.

I just started using Letterboxd because I hate when these list things come up and I forget which movies I liked and why.

Re: Your Top 10 of 2021

Like a number of people here, I've spent most of the year catching up with old movies. I thought I only watched about 20-30 new releases, but according to Letterboxd, I've seen 43 so far. (Incidentally, thank you to the people who've posted their lists. The titles mentioned have reminded me of a number of films I meant to get to but didn't have time for.)

Here are my ten in no particular order, except the first, which is my #1:
  • Together Together
  • Malignant
  • Spider-Man: No Way Home
  • Nobody
  • The Green Knight
  • Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
  • Raging Fire
  • Zack Snyder's Justice League
  • Boss Level
  • Last Night in Soho

I'll also add The Suicide Squad, that was fun.

Re: Your Top 10 of 2021

Movies release in 2021 that I saw... I'm not sure I saw 10 of them, but here it goes...

1. Spider-Man: No Way Home
2. West Side Story
3. Shang Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings
4. No Time To Die
5. Black Widow
6. Godzilla vs Kong
7. Cruella
8. Free Guy
9. Eternals
10. The Pokémon Movie: Secret of the Jungle

I saw 11 new movies in 2021 and Fast 9 will never make any Top 10 list.

... and I am watching Encanto with the family today, so I will add that in there somewhere.

Still need to watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Dune, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Jungle Cruise.

Re: Your Top 10 of 2021

1. “Pig”—The biggest surprise of the year, this little movie that becomes profound. It’s got the best Nicolas Cage performance in years. Who knew you’d get all emotional over a pig?

2. “Don’t Look Up”—Another big surprise, a brilliant satire that’s nothing like what you expect but manages to accurately skewer the world we’ve devolved to.

3. “The Power of the Dog”—This adaptation of the modern classic Thomas Savage novel hits all the right notes and has a powerful third act that sneaks up on you.

4. “Licorice Pizza”—Paul Thomas Anderson’s hangout flick features two indelible characters (and first-time performances) and simply delivers a great nostalgic time.

5. “The Green Knight”—A reimagining of the Sir Gawain tale, this film is an incredible visual feast.

6. “Dune”—Denis Villenueve’s take on the Herbert novel is huge, weighty, and perfectly realized, leaving the campy Lynch film for the Lynch apologists.

7. “Riders of Justice”—Here’s a dark Danish comedy starring Mads Mikkelson that has all the makings of a brutal revenge tale but ends up unexpectedly sweet and sad and rewarding.

8. “The Sparks Brothers”—Probably the best time I had at the movies this year, Edgar Wright’s loving tribute to this band is propulsive and hilarious.

9. “Spider-Man: No Way Home”—The second-best time I had at the movies! The trilogy enters the multiverse and deals with nostalgia the right way.

10. “Nightmare Alley”—Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of the William Gresham novel is a noir beauty.

Cruella (added because I saw Crocker’s list; one of the biggest nice surprises of the year).
Just saw Mass. powerful performances across the board. Should get some Oscar nominations.

Add it for my Top 10 most likely.
