what's going on to all my movie fans out there and welcome back to my channel movie files ellie back
again with another top tens list and this is a big one because i have to go on my letterbox
and see that i logged in over 107 new releases that came out in 2021 had to sit down with a
pen and paper and narrow that list down to 10 of my favorites and that's exactly what we're going
over today i'm so excited to share with you all my top 10 best movies of 2021 cinemas were back
ladies and gentlemen we were back in the movie theaters we got some really good blockbusters
some great independent films and i'm so excited to go over that list with you all but before we

screen now if you enjoyed this video do me a favor make sure you like the video and share the video
but more importantly in the comments section go ahead and share your top 10 best movies that you
saw in 2021 so before we get into my top 10 list i do have some animal mentions that i want to go
over starting off with earlier this year matt mickelson gave us a great dark comedy drama by
the name of writers of justice netflix gave us an amazing animated film by the name of the mitchells
versus the machines i think that this is the best modern live action disney film to date in corella
what a great comedy by free guy and ryder reynolds my favorite musical of the year was in the heights
apple tv plus gave us an amazing drama by the name of koda and then netflix gave us a western with a
lot of fun and so much swagger by the name of the harder they fall so those are my animal mentions
all films that i really enjoyed i reviewed all those movies on this channel but they just weren't
able to make my top 10 list but do me a favor share your honorable mentions in the comments
and let's discuss that so with all that being said it's time for the main event and let's get into
my top 10 movies of 2021 starting off with number 10. now i recently got the chance to see this film
for the second time in theaters and once i saw it for the second time i'm like you know what
it's it's in my top 10. this is the biggest film to come out in over two years ladies and gentlemen
i'm talking about your friendly neighborhood spider-man spider-man no way home what an event
film of the year it's still climbing in the box office it is my second favorite trilogy
in the mcu behind captain america but just looking at tom holland's version of spider-man
what a progression for that character especially in this third film he became spider boy and became
a man in this movie going against some of my favorite villains in doc ock and william the
foe as green goblin was fantastic i thought that it had a lot of heart it had great emotions some
really good comedic beats but again i can't stress enough the performances of tom holland zendaya
willem dafoe and then spoiler alert for all those i haven't seen it yet in three two one
andrew garfield and toby maguire with a cinematic moment in history and seeing that in theaters with
an audience was just a chef's kiss so spider-man no way home made my top 10 list i'm so excited
that the film is doing great numbers and i'm excited to see what the character has up his
sleeve in the coming years but let me know where spider-man landed on your list if it even did
but moving on to my number nine let's stick with in the superhero genre let's go across the pond
in the dc universe i'm talking about a film that i don't think we'll ever see this happen again
i'm talking about zack snyder's justice league and i mean by never seeing again think about the
social media presence of that film the petitions of that film that took over four years to make
and have it come to hbo max and wow i i'm a fan of zach slander i know he's not for everyone i know
his interpretation the characters isn't for anyone but from my personal sensibilities he has given us
my favorite superman and henry cavill he's given us probably the most comic book accurate version
of batman in my opinion minus the killing uh and also you know gal gadot as wonder woman the the
version this film the four hour cut of seeing cyborg who was the heart and soul of this movie
i'm still not the biggest fan of ezra's miller version of the flash but i can see what zack
snyder was trying to do with the character and then just looking at all the nuance the the story
that zach was able to tell and seeing i'm a dc fan at heart seeing the trinity on the big screen
seeing the justice league on the big screen for the first time and in the real right manner that
zack snyder wanted us to see it in i thought it was a beautiful thing that we were able to
see this i am someone that is a fan of the idea of seeing zack snyder continuing to tell these
stories whether it is on hbo max i mean come on uh dc you're you're embracing earth 2 with matt
reeves batman and we're entering the multiverse with the flash we can have zack steiner do his own
thing on the side but even if we don't get that i was happy that he was able to get his version of
the film out there and that is my number nine zack snyder's justice league which brings me
to another comic book film but going back to the mcu this is my favorite mcu project in phase four
so far i'm talking about louis zouzz the eternals now i know this is the most kind of divisive film
in the marvel cinematic universe so far but i love the film i thought it had such great
performances i love the diversity and the cast i love chloe's way that she brought kind of the
locations to this you know being on set and being on location brought some authenticity to the film
i thought that it was just such on a scope and level the mcu dealing with eternals dealing
with celestials and free will and just all the conversations and and the script was great and
the characters were fantastic i can't wait to see these characters again on the big screen or maybe
up here in a disney plush show i know again people have their flaws with it but i think
it's the most unique mcu film in phase four so far and in my top 10 my personal top 10
mcu film is the eternals and that's why it's making my number eight slot let me know what you
all thought about eternals and if it made your list but let's move on to my number seven film
and this is a big one here because this is a bye bye to my personal favorite 007 i'm talking about
double 07 no time to die i thought carrie fukanaga did such a great job of paying homage to all the
james bond movies at least the ones that i've seen and just paying homage to daniel craig's you know
time in the role which he's personally my favorite bond i thought it was such a great send-off for
the character but just focusing on the movie action was fantastic the cinematography was
gorgeous the soundtrack and the score by hans zimmer was incredible the the the swan song
moment again spoilers here in three two one the moment of seeing daniel craig sacrifice his life
obviously he saved the world a million times in all his movies right but being able to put a face
and a name to him sacrificing himself with it being his love of his life and his daughter was
just such an emotional moment for me and i thought this was the most emotional double 07 film that
i've personally seen i really enjoyed that film i can't wait to add to my collection and that's why
no time to die is coming in at number seven for me moving on to number six this film came out
very early in the year and it still made my list it was one of the most impactful films that i
saw in 2021 and that is judas in the black messiah obviously the film has won its awards during oscar
season and particularly dan kahlua one for best supporting actor for his portrayal as fred hampton
which he was incredible the keith stanfield was great dominique fishbach i mean everyone brought
their a game but in particularly the direction by shaka king was incredible the movie was just so
timely has so much to say and then you think about the last 15 minutes of the movie it was just some
of the most emotional moments i've had all year and it was just so impactful and that's why judas
from the black messiah comes in at my number six so there's my six through ten my honorable
mentions before we get into my top five if you stuck around to this point of video i appreciate
you make sure if you haven't already to like the video share the video and leave your thoughts
in the comments let's get into the top five and coming in at number five is a sequel of a horror
film that was one of my favorites this past decade and that is a quiet place part two i personally
think that part two is just slightly better than part one because it just had more emotional depth
in my opinion i love the direction and the scope that john krasinski brought to this film i thought
emily blunt was incredible but those kids really brought their a game and they were given a lot
more to do in the sequel i'm so excited to see how things wrap up in the third film which i
hope comes out sooner rather than later but again it's the emotional resonance that sits with me in
this film and the thrilling aspects the action aspects the horrific elements of this story and
you think about how the film ends to lead into a third one which is such a great way to cap off a
great sequel which we know sequels aren't always that great but i think that this sequel is better
than original that's just my opinion but coming in at number five is a quiet place part two but
let's get into my top four here and come in number four this film was on my most anticipated movies
for two years in a row and it did not disappoint and that is the new villain news dune timothy
charlemagne as paul zendaya jason momoa as duncan i mean the list goes on from the performances
what a beautiful looking film the score behind zimmer the story being on a rakis in the spice
and i am so happy that we're getting a part two and i thought this was a great setup for a part
two and hopefully we get the hbo max show we get more stories in this universe because i think
neville knew if you all don't know is my personal favorite director this isn't my favorite film his
i still have blade runner 20 49 as my number one but what an incredible sci-fi adventure film and
i'm just so happy that it was successful and i'm so happy for more of these stories about this
thought doing was so incredible you can check out my full thoughts on the film but it is my
number four on my list dune i loved it but let's get into the top three and these next three films
are the only three movies that were five out of five for me this year and coming in number three
is an independent film that i can't recommend enough by the name of nine days which marks the
directorial debut of ed sonota i thought that he did such a great job of directing this story that
talks about the meaning of life and what a phenomenal performance by wilson duke who is a
force to reckon with zazzy beats his grade in this film we have benedick wong who was incredible the
supporting cast has really brought it all together but it's just a beautiful film again it talks
about the meaning of life and the purpose of life and just such a beautiful story to see and again
the performance and direction was just incredible again i know a lot of people haven't seen this
film but if it's available to stream i highly recommend you all give it a watch you will not
be disappointed nine days for me got a five out of five and that's why it's coming in at number three
which brings us to my top two movies of 2021 and this next film here is probably the most like
inspiring movie that i've seen this year it's one of my favorite sports films in recent memory i'm
talking about king richard man that will smith bring us a game he's one of my favorite actors
of all time and i think this is one of his best performances in a very long time again
i mentioned sports movies you know obviously him and muhammad ali was so great but him as
richard and seeing how he raised his daughters and seeing uh anjanu ellis and her portrayal
in the movie and seeing those young actresses bringing their a game off the court on the court
john berthold was a great addition i thought that the film just had so much heart again it
was so inspiring to see those girls coming from compton and i'm very familiar with this arena
and venus story where they came from but i just seen the nuances in the depth of how they came
to be who they are today some of the greatest athletes of all time i thought the film was just i
remember sitting in theaters getting so emotional being so happy and walking out of the theater
on cloud nine and that's why king richard is my number two favorite film of this year which brings
us to my number one movie and if you've been following this channel for a while you know how
highly i spoke about this film and it is my number one movie of 2021 and that is the green knight
written and directed and edited by david laurie i thought this film from a visual standpoint was an
absolute masterpiece it's the best looking movie i saw this year the themes and the metaphor i'm
a fan of arthur and the whole story of althurian story i'm a big fan of all that lore and this film
was just such a different interpretation that i've ever seen from the character and again tackling
things of legacy nobility lust this journey that we see dev patel go on which his performance is
absolutely incredible the film to me again it's just i go back to theatrical experiences just
sitting and i know the film isn't for everyone i i completely understand that but for me personally
just that journey it's visual storytelling at its absolute best and again david laurie
i can't wait to see what he does next he's one of my favorite directors working in hollywood and all
you can just see the passion and the love that he has in this film and that's why the green knight
is my number one favorite film between 21 might be controversial but it's just my list but hey
