2020 Movies, Best to Worst
I don't watch many newer movies, but I kinda wonder whether the Covid years of 2020-2022 will be a permanent gap/drop in the number and quality of movies... At least I HOPE things return to normal, in the next few years... (with "normal" being dozens of garbage sequels and re-boots, with nobody having the guts to take any risks/do anything new)
