cosign...even tho Nomadland was my favorite film of the year, I had these ranked at #24 and #2, respectively

It was my #1 as well. There's still a couple I need to see, but I figured since it was almost March, it was a good enough time for a top 10.

Top 10 of 2020

My favorite movies I watched in 2020. Most are recent releases if not specifically from 2020. I'm a little behind some of you guys and a lot of the ones listed above are on my movies I watched in 2021 favorites list. Thanks everyone for sharing your lists and Letterboxd links! I'm always looking for new stuff to watch.

Watched Nomadland b/c I remember @siremobunny said it was good and it's on Hulu.
Its not like movies I generally watched but I liked it a lot. Really nice beautiful moments in it. On the surface, I guess I can't really relate to Fern but I feel like I understand her a bit and it's hard to not feel personal about the movie. That scene with Swankie reminds me of someone I knew - and I feel like I've had that conversation before.

I also watched I Care A Lot - I actually enjoyed it a lot. I thought Rosamund did a fantastic job - she was really funny in it. She played the part perfectly where you're supposed to hate her because she's gross but admire her determination. Without any spoilers - I thought the ending was a bit anticlimactic but I mean... good enough

Yeah, he sucks but also he can be kinda brilliant too. I think it’s depends on his cocaine intake levels. It’s like a bell curve the more coke the better until it hits a certain point, then there is a steep decline.

Happy to be wrong

I’d rather live in a world with Sorkin than without.

Right, for every Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip you also get The West Wing and most of the movies he’s written are at the very least pretty good.

in case you need a few more recommends

the top 80-something films of 2020 (according to me)

This is a list of films I enjoyed in 2020. It will probably be modified until about March or April, or whenever the Oscars are this year. Notes for films indicate where they can currently be found, if available.

Thanks for sharing this, the 'Sound Of Metal' sounds like a great premise for a film, I will check that one out asap!

Idk I feel like if any other writer were to rinse recycle their own zingers like this they'd be called a hack. He's probably about to win an oscar for it tho, idk.

Sorkin is good and gets way too much flack. He’s just a little over exposed.

Watched ' The Sound of Metal' last night. What a great movie. I've taken to watching movies with headphones on and the weird acoustic effects made it seem all to real.

I kinda forgot how hard The Wrath of Khan rules?

The ear worm/eel larva scene still gives me the heebie-jeebies.

 

[Djxfactor511]

I thought The United States vs. Billie Holiday was really uneven. Some moments were incredibly powerful and moving and others I couldn't tell what was going on and the transitions/effects felt like a B level film in terms of execution.

i watched black dynamite again last night and god that movie kills me every time.

‘sarcastically i’m in charge!’
