The Best Movies I Saw in 2021

In 2021, the ongoing pandemic provided ample opportunities for movie-watching and I got to watch a lot of cool stuff this year. I don’t stand behind this list very strongly on account of the number of great films I still haven’t watched. Nevertheless, here are the films I enjoyed the most this year:

1. The French Dispatch
2. The Green Knight
3. Bo Burnham: Inside
4. Pig
5. The Power of the Dog
6. Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street
7. Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar
8. The Last Duel
9. Petite Maman
10. The Sparks Brothers

Honorable Mentions:

• Get Back (it’s only not on the list because it‘s technically a miniseries and not a “movie”)
• Titane
• Drive My Car
• Last Night in Soho
