I'm sure Dune will appear on a lot of Best of lists here, but for me honestly I just didn't love it enough to consider it one of my favorites of 2021.
There's a few more that I hope to check out and maybe one of them will bump one of the ones off my current list. But as of right now, those are my 10 favorites.

Re: Your Top 10 of 2021
I haven’t seen enough this year to make a good determination, but No Time to Die and Spider-Man: No Way Home were two of the best theatrical experiences I’ve had since before the pandemic. I also surprisingly enjoyed Cruella.

I know. I think a lot of people actually hated it. I love it though. Maybe I was just in a great mood that day. That movie just really hit the spot for exactly what I wanted right then.

Re: Your Top 10 of 2021
I'm a little surprised that no one here included Judas and the Black Messiah in their lists. I thought that was a really well acted and compelling story. Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield were exceptional in it IMO.

Re: Your Top 10 of 2021
This may be the year I've watched the least number of movies of my life, and I stopped updating my letterboxd when I DID actually watch stuff... So I'm looking forward to everyone's lists in order to remind myself of everything I've missed so far.

Didn’t watch much new stuff this year, but Dune was absolutely the best thing I saw all year.
Shoutouts to Godzilla vs Kong, Cruella and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
