Every Film I Watched in 2021 (Sort Of)

A list

Filippo Scotti in The Hand of God

I kept a running tally of every film I watched this year. Caveat is they are films I haven’t seen before or I barely remember watching them so they feel new. I did not include the multiple times I watched Scream 2 this year. It’s good to remind myself that I need to be more expansive with my film viewing, which didn’t really happen this year because I spent most of the year marathoning Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta to numb my existential dread.

There’s a bunch of awards season films I’ll get to in the next month; one in particular I missed because I left Los Angeles when it started screening in theaters (Drive My Car); but aside from those, if you have suggestions of things I missed this year, drop them in the comments!
