i haven't been watching new movies at all but RRR can't be topped.

Very pleased to see C'mon C'mon on your list...very underrated film that hasn't gotten a lot of attention.

I adored it. It really resonated with me - I bought the blu-ray disc last week.

I was lucky enough to see this in the cinema. But it was part of my 2021 list.

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Re: Best films of 2022 - at the half way stage
 

Did the OP really put the hedgehog movie over Everything, Everywhere, All At Once? Or is that just the order watched. Probably Order watched. That's A lotta flicks tho. Good for you!

RRR

Oh, it only just came to my town like 2 weeks ago so I assumed it was from this year.
But cheers, regardless.

I'm actually watching RRR right now. It is pretty good. A little long, but pretty good.

These all would be on my list for best of ‘21.

They weren't released where I live until 2022.

I usually just go by whatever IMDb/letterboxd have as release dates, as they usually align with qualifying runs for awards seasons. Keeps my lists aligned with most major publications and whatnot.

But you do you, mate.

If you do that, then there will be whole swathes of films that are not going to be eligible when you do your 2021 list or your 2022 list, so they never feature on any of your lists.

I mean, you’re just swapping one problem for another. Your movies weren’t eligible on your 2021 list and are now crowding your 2022 and are out of step with the general consensus on which releases belong.

I think the only problem here is you to be honest.
