Good few movies, except City Hall's the first Wiseman film I thought too long

bacurau is a great b-movie, elevated. harsh ending too!

Martin Eden, Beanpole, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, and First Cow are films I really loved from 2020
but Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a film I will never forget

Nomadland is a 2021 movie imo

That is literally the only 2020 film I've seen.

Hope Lover's Rock doesn't lose a close vote at the top. I should have voted for it but didn't--I voted for a different Small Axe film, and just absent-mindedly never thought of the same filmmaker placing two films on my year-end list.
― clemenza, Thursday, 16 December 2021 15:14 (two years ago) link
thought mangrove was pretty weak, a couple of the other small axe films made the end of my ballot.
with the exception of a couple of things i wanted to see but didnt get the chance to (city hall and bloody nose...), very out of touch with whats on this list; god knows what vast of night is

I scrolled through ILX's "Last x movies" thread, also checked a couple of prominent 2020 year-ends to come up with a list. I should have put Lover's Rock at #8 or #9, and I'm sure I could have come up with a 10th film if I'd checked around a bit more. Dates are highly fluid, obviously. Something like Nomadland existed outside of time--I saw lobby posters in December of 2019 (I think); opened late in 2020 (I think); won the AA for 2020's Best Picture; most people (including me) didn't see it till 2021.

My mistake in thinking i voted for Kid Detective, it is on my 2021 Notepad listI checked after you posted in case I’d missed a Kid Detective vs The Kid Detective while standardising all the Small Axes (and deleting ppl’s numbers in front of titles) :)Will probably run a 2021 poll in mid-Jan, just because I’ll have some PST mornings to be able to post in (and might have seen Drive My Car, Benedetta, and Bad Luck Banging by then). European residents are welcome to campaign for US 2020 releases to be re-voted.
