Another year, another overlong list trying to rank all the new films I’ve seen. But 2021 brings on a few new twists. By far, this will go down as the most films I’ve seen in a given year, as halfway through 2021 I’m already inching close to the number I reached for all of 2020. Additionally, I’ve taken the extra step of linking all my reviews below, so you can read my thoughts on each film that is hyperlinked.

I hope you enjoy this list, and as always, it’s subject to change at any given moment. I like to tinker with it quite a bit as time progresses. Sometimes I think of a film more fondly a few months later, other times…well, the opposite happens. Either way, here are all the films I’ve seen in 2021, ranked.
