My Favorite Films of 2021

My year end film list has rules. Films must be seen in a proper theatre setting; large screen with professional sound equipment, and they must be seen between 12:01 AM January 1, 2021 and 11:59 PM December 31, 2021. They cannot have already been on a previous year's list. Artistic merit is not weighted as heavily as how much I enjoyed it and how I want to watch it again.
