At the end of the year, I like to go through everything I've watched and try to assemble a list of the 25 movies I loved the most.This year it was pretty hard, since most of the movies I watched were on screeners or at home, thanks to a very busy end of the year. It's taken me a while to assemble my thoughts and feelings, and I may have a few spicy takes in here as well.One of the reasons I love making these rankings is that they force me to really think about what I feel about them and how I engage with the art.Now, these lists are all subjective, so don't get mad if you didn't love what I loved.Let's dive in.1.

One Battle After AnotherDirector: Paul Thomas AndersonWriter: Paul Thomas Anderson (Loosely based on the novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon)Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina HallStudio: Warner Bros. PicturesA deeply personal movie for PTA that theorizes that the kids will be alright if we let them change the world. I loved...
