Ranking The movies of the 2020's

by ssnape3 | created - 2 months ago | updated - 3 weeks ago | Public

The movies I have seen in the 2020's ranked in order of preference (During and After the Pandemic I cut way back on watching new movies and going to see films in the theater, now I mostly like watching movies from my collection and catching up on any older movies I missed, so until if/when that changes I am going to stop my yearly lists at 2019 and make a decade list for the 2020's movies I see like I made for my lists for the decades before 1970)
