Top 10 – Worst Films of 2021
With cinemas being closed for the majority of the year new 2021 films were also released to different streaming services as well, all of which are possibilities for my 2021 top 10 lists! Cinema list of 2021 HERE and you can also see all 2021 films HERE.
As always though I do get better at picking films to watch and knowing that I will probably not like certain films, although some have certainly slipped through the net. I would love to actually blame the lack of releases at the cinema for a couple of them, but as you will see I also made bad at home choices. Hey, a new film is a new film though right?

This was my second proper full year of logging everything I watch on Letterboxd and it really is so helpful and useful for keeping track of which films you watched and being able to put tags on means you can then easily scroll through that way as well. My challenge for this year was to “review” each film as well, which meant I just put in a couple of comments about the film.
Here we can take a look at my 2021 stats and I am sure no one will be surprised with my most watched films either!
Happy New Year, from me and Billy Crystal
For the 5th year running I saw in the New Year watching one of my favourite films When Harry Met Sally. I was a few minutes off the timing for Harry to arrive to Sally for midnight and one of the greatest speeches ever!
“When you realise you want to spend the rest of you life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible”
I then took a photo of this and tweeted it at Billy Crystal and just look what happened ❤️🥰 2022 has peaked early!
I wish everyone who supports Let’s Go To The Movies the best possible 2022, and thank you to the legend that is Billy Crystal!
