With most theaters closed, we had to settle with watching movies in the comfort of our own homes. Release dates for potential blockbusters such as “Dune,” and “West Side Story,” were pushed back to 2021, but in no way did that leave us with no movies. If we had gone through the COVID-19 pandemic, say, even just 10 years ago, then a list such as the one below may not have been conceivably possible. technology has allowed us access to watch anything we want. In all, I saw 120 new movies this year, an astounding number, all things considered, and although there was no “Uncut Gems,” “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” or “The Irishman,” the good stuff came in smaller packages, dished out via independent studios who, in the midst of endless lockdowns, managed to find a lifeline between audience and cinema. Want proof? Here’s my list of the 10 best movies of 2020.

Sean Durkin’s ‘The Nest,’ Eugene Kotlyarenko’s ‘Spree,’ David Cronenberg’s ‘Possessor,’ Florian Zeller’s ‘The Father,’ Rob Savages’s ‘Host’, Yaron Zilberman’s ‘Incitement’, Steve McQueen’s ‘Mangrove,’ Antonio Campos’ ‘The Devil All the Time,’ Hao Wu and Weixi Chen’s ’76 Days’ Contribute Hire me
