Just missing the list were a group of movies that I really liked! Encanto, Attica, No Time to Die, In The Heights, Summer of Soul. At the other end of the rankings, the worst movie I saw in 2021 was Coming 2 America, followed closely by Godzilla v. Kong, Cruella, Don’t Look Up, and House of Gucci.
Okay, thanks for indulging me. Let me know how wrong I am! Now to begin compiling my list for this year. In the meantime, I’m hanging out at Letterboxd, you know, if that’s your kind of thing.
