I am perpetually like, at least 4 or 5 years behind in seeing any bulk of a year's films. But here are some 2020 and 2021 releases I responded positively to:

2020
Possessor
Amulet
Palm Springs
Emma
The Invisible Man
Shiva Baby
The Old Guard
Lucky
Another Round
Wolf of Snow Hollow


Documentaries:
Crip Camp
Mucho Mucho Amor
Athlete A
American Utopia
Dick Johnson is Dead


I'd like to single out Dick Johnson is Dead for doing things with the non-fiction format that are really interesting and different and for being INCREDIBLY moving.

2021
The Mitchells vs the Machines
Those Who Wish Me Dead
No Sudden Move
Til Death
Annette
Pig
The Suicide Squad
The Green Knight
Encanto
Tick Tick Boom!


Documentaries:
Tina
Kid 90


Willy's Wonderland is one of the more enjoyably stupid movies I've seen in a long time.



2020

Another Round
Da 5 Bloods
The Father
Soul
Minari
I’m Thinking of Ending Things
Riders of Justice
Possessor
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
Tenet

2021

Titane
Pig
Red Rocket
Power of the Dog
The Green Knight
Parallel Mothers
The Hand of God
Worst Person In The World
The French Dispatch
The Last Duel

2021 was a WAY stronger year than 2020. I could’ve done a top 20 of comparably strong films, whereas I only LOVE my top 5 from 2020.

I am the Watcher in the Night
It's been a horrible few years for movies so I have mainly just watched the cinema experiences...so a few:

1917
Spider-Man No Way Home (not a fan of MCU Spidey films but this was good)
Parasite
The Batman
Capone was interesting if a bit short and superfluous
Maybe Dune...not a great film but pretty good for the standards of today

I think thats probably it tbh
