best movies of 2021

I have watched 63 movies from 2021. I watched 31 of them in 2022, which is why I make lists like this a year late ... after an extra year, I will have seen a lot more movies from that year.

As of this writing, my favorite 2021 movies are:

1. Summer of Soul (…or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
2. Drive My Car
3. Flee
4. Petite Maman
5. Judas and the Black Messiah
6. Attica
