So 2021, eh? Thought things were going to go back to normal after the stinker that was 2020? Nope. Not really. Things still remain very strange out there.
Compared to last year however, I have watched a lot more films – though legit only been to the cinema once. Can you believe that? Anyhoo, streaming has proved to be much more of a viable alternative this year and it kind of makes sense really given the ongoing situation.
Same as last year, I have opted for a ‘Favourite 10’ as opposed to any kind of countdown and I think that’s going to be my preferred way going forward. This year also marks the return of ‘The Alternative Awards’ list, which provides a rundown of other stuff that is not going to be included in my main list. I’ll also be doing a Top 5 games list as I have got through a fair few this year as well.
So here’s the whole list. As usual, only the films in bold are eligible for the Top 10 list as they were the ones actually released in 2021. TV series and games lists don’t matter as much. Although if it’s something I haven’t finished playing or watching at the time of writing I won’t include them in my favourites.
