    Still haven't seen many of the films on your list yet, but 'Pig' definitely had one of my absolute favorite scenes of the year in it (I'm putting it at #2 right now), and that's the dinner scene that Cage cooks for Alex Wolf's father. That scene floored me. I still put 'Dune' in my #1 film slot because it was masterful filmmaking at every level by every department. Part Two can't get here soon enough. I want to see 'The Green Knight' again for the cinematography alone, and also because I now have a better grasp on the story, and I loved 'C'mon C'mon' so much, too. Gotta try to catch up on so many others I missed still.

Even though I don't think the romance is fleshed out very well, Mara and Cooper are great together, specially in the latter part of the film. The ending is a gut punch that I'm still thinking about.

Teaches a great lesson of valor, honesty within oneself and how to be a better person in general. Dev patel is great in the movie but Ralph Ineson as The Green Knight steals every scene. His voice is eerily good.

And Nightmare Alley is coming in another week, so I will catch it on the Big Screen... eagerly. I could quibble with the list a little but that is nature of lists isn't it? What I always appreciate about your lists is that you explain very clearly why you were moved by a piece of work, and even if it didn't strike me that way, I do use your comments to reflect again. (I'm lookin' at you Green Knight.) But again I feel like I'm in the presence of an intelligent friend sharing her choicest thoughts. And from Georgia I say Გილოცავთ ახალ წელს! and wish you the best 2022! (And when will you watch Arcane???)

    "If you're watching this, that means you and I have officially MATED through the year 2021" is what I initially heard and nearly had a heartattack!! I thought I must be dreaming until I realised you actually said "MADE IT through the year" , then it made me laugh. Maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part given you're a fellow cinephile with great reviews. My apology for mishearing you in the first place but hopefully you appreciate the humorous error on my part.

    Hi! New to the channel. First, I like your top 10 list. And glad to see that you value genre films. It made me think that I finally found somebody who not only likes mainstream drama but will also value other genres as well. So I went searching through your videos but see no reviews of, I hate the term but, superhero movies. There were a couple this year that completely transcended the genre. Are these movies something you simply refuse to watch or review?

    I'm new to your channel and I was watching every second of this video hoping "no way home" does not get mentioned. Glad to say I'm not disappointed. I enjoyed 50% of that movie and the other 50% I hope I could forget. Nothing wrong with movies like that, but to garner so much praise and popularity for the average movie that it was... kinda offends me as other good movies deserve more.

They called the standard of the Office of Tours and Visits, and they asked: do you have an airstrip around here? Well, my boss said...it's a little town, you should find one if you drive 50km to come here. They came and took a look at it. Unfortunately, they did not retain the castle for the movie! :(
