While the nearly 8 months' worth of returns from 2022 movies have knocked its overall standing down a bit, 2021 remains a very solid cinematic year. For what it lacked in top-tier excellence, it made up with a heavy volume of really good B+ level movies and minimal amount of true garbage.
In terms of notable changes from January until today, there ended up being quite a few. The release of a couple new MCU titles this year further tanked Black Widow's stock, a re-watch of a certain cult favorite horror film that placed in the top 20 at year's end bumped it further up the list and I recently viewed a pair of small indie titles (Small Engine Repair, Mass) that were released last fall that now place pretty highly on my list of favorites from the year. There were also a trio of new additions to the bottom 10, a reshuffling in the high 20's/low 30's brought on by a late-night viewing of Last Night in Soho and zero movement in the top 10 despite some internal debates about whether or not King Richard and Red Rocket should be flipped. Below are the full results of this revaluation process complete with grades and the inclusion of all of the titles I've watched since the year-end list was posted. Hope you enjoy.
