Yeah, I think I better do this in batches as well

2023: Elemental (pretty much all I've seen; sorry)
2022: The Banshees of Inisherin
2021: The Mitchells vs. the Machines
2020: Tough, but I think Palm Springs is the one that has stuck with me the most. Another Round and Nomadland are also up there.

This may take a while to complete.
