It’s hard to believe that another year has come to an end. In some ways, it was like I blinked and 2021 was over. Starting out in another lockdown (which definitely impacted my maintaining this blog) was rough, but then halfway through, movie theatres opened up again. Nothing will ever beat walking into that large auditorium, settling into those chairs and buckling in for a life changing journey.

2021 brought many great films that certainly made making this list a difficult task. Some I forgot along the way. Some made themselves known to me more recently. And others I wish I could erase from my memory all together. There are also a few that I think I generously rated, but what can you do?

So without further ado, here are my top 5 best and worst of the year.

Best

1. Promising Young Woman
2. West Side Story
3. In The Heights
4. Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
5. Encanto

Worst

1. Space Jam: A New Legacy
2. The Green Knight
3. Thunder Force
4. Locked Down
5. Tom and Jerry
