Another year is behind us and it’s another year that I didn’t see a movie in a theater with my large popcorn and Coke Zero (and my complimentary refills)!
Maybe this year! The movies I’m most excited to see are “Halloween Ends” (October 14, 2022) and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (December 23, 2022). Yes, it’s about Whitney Houston with Stanley Tucci as Clive Davis!
Before I kick off the countdown of my 20 favorite movies I watched in 2021, a little explanation is needed.
My top movies are not necessarily the “best” movies of the year or the highly coveted awards-worthy movies.
A movie gets a higher ranking on my list if I’d want to watch it again and again. Some of the movies I saw in 2021 were fantastic, but I have no need or desire to watch them again, so they can’t be a “favorite”!
Let’s begin the countdown with the movies that I saw that missed out on the Top 20! (And, when you’re done, let me know which ones YOU saw and YOUR favorites of 2021!
My least favorite movie of the year was “False Positive” and I saw some of “Antebellum”, but I gave up on it about 15 minutes into it!
