2020 was practically the year without a movie release, but 2021 more than made up for it. There were films sent to theaters (and digital release) by leaps and bounds. Some even debuted in theaters and on streaming services on the exact same day. We got a number of Marvel films, several highly-anticipated sequels, and even a bunch of wonderful movies based on original ideas (including horror and animated movies).
When we look back at 2021, while box office returns may not have reached the heights they did before the pandemic, it wasn’t due to a lack of worthwhile films. In fact, there were so many that they couldn’t even all fit in GameSpot’s 10 best movies of the year. So if you’re wondering where movies like West Side Story, The Matrix Resurrections, The Suicide Squad, or Judas and the Black Messiah are, just know that they were all considered for this list.
With that out of the way, take a look below at GameSpot’s 10 best movies of 2021. Then, make sure to check out what we decided the number one movie of the year was. It took quite a bit of debate, but when it came down to it, was there any other option?
