21 Best Films of 2021

21 Best Films of 2021



By 2021 the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic was behind us (or so we think?). The majority of us got double vaccinated by the Summer and, if we were lucky, were able to get the booster shot by late fall.  Movie theatres opened again to full capacity and long delayed releases, like No Time To Die, finally got their chance to shine.

At the beginning of 2021 I hardly saw any new films, but by September I had trouble making time to see the vast amount that were available in theatres. I tried going once a week, which is an expensive habit, but that still wasn't enough! I still missed highly anticipated films like House of Gucci and Nightmare Alley.    

This is my incomplete list of favourite films from 2021. As time goes by I will update the list and improve upon it.  


1. West Side Story











2. Benediction 

3. Titane
