So, we’ve reached the end of 2021. Another year, another crop of films. Therefore, it’s time for a 2021 retrospective.
[Or maybe I should say, “an actual crop of films” after the cinematic wasteland that was 2020.]
Thankfully, Hollywood has been able to release more films in theaters in addition to those early sputtering attempts to grow the various streaming services.
And there have been a lot of good–even great–films for us this year, especially in the last few months.
So now that we’ve reached the (almost) end of the year, it’s time to look at the good, the bad, and the other films we’ve seen.
Heck, there’s even a few that we’ve seen on this list that you haven’t seen yet, but that will be hitting theaters before the end of the year, so since we’ve seen then, we can list them.
This isn’t going to be a “Best of” list, though; it’s more of a “favorites of,” as some of these films aren’t awards contenders or future entries on the AFI Topp 100 Films list, but they had a certain something that made them, at the very least, “fun” in the best way possible.
Ready? Here, in no particular order (okay, alphabetical order, then), are some of our favorite fiction films of 2021 (with links to our reviews, if available):
**Also, coming soon, a franchise tent-pole film: Matrix: Resurrections. File that one under “excited but cautious.”
Moving on through our 2021 retrospective…
If you’re a documentary fan, perhaps one of these ones will tickle your fancy as they did ours (again, in alphabetical order):
What about musicals? We’ve had THREE in the last couple weeks alone. Here’s a few of our favorites:
And finally, how about something for the family? A little animation, perhaps? Here’s a few of our favorites from this year:
Well, that’s it for our 2021 retrospective.
We hope you enjoyed our reviews and discussions of these an all the other films we screened this year.
