The best (and worst) films of 2021
And my top movie of the year is...
This year I watched more than two dozen theatrical films. I liked most all of them. Here’s my list of those movies, ranked. I should note that I don’t always love musicals, so for one to top my list must mean it’s pretty darn good to me—so good, in fact, that it’s the first and so far only musical for which I’ve downloaded a complete album and listened to on repeat ever since.
