If there's one bright shining light from the past year, it's that I watched over 250+ movies, 39 of them in theaters. While that's not an insignificant number, I normally average over 100 films at the multiplex; in 2020, I went to cinemas just 9 times.

Of those, the ones that stuck to my ribs were...
Black Widow - So glorious to get back to theaters for this total joy of a movie.
Malignant - The one movie I could not stop talking about.
Titane - When Nicole Kidman croons about "that indescribable feeling we get" from seeing a movie in theaters, she was talking about this flick.
Censor - The best goddamn horror film of the year.
Spider-Man: No Way Home - Pure fan service… and I was served to utter satisfaction.
If I had to extrapolate something bigger from these films, it's that I missed going to the goddamn movies. I love having a big, emotional experience in the dark.
