300 Movies in 2020 (extending to 2021... yikes.)

*Ones I liked

Watched:
  1. Parasite* -- this was a must-watch. 
  2. The Marriage Story* -- an intimate look into the realities and heartaches of marriage and its eventual fall.
  3. The Report* -- one of my favorite drama/political movies of last year. I mean, Adam Driver. 
  4. Joker
  5. Train to Busan* -- I'm awfully late to this one. But nonetheless, I get why it's a top box office. Almost an unbelievably five-star cast.
  6. Okja
  7. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
  8. Hustlers
  9. Frozen II
  10. 6 Underground (Netflix)
  11. Burning* -- definitely not for all tastes, but a slow burning plot through an art house lens. An incredibly captivating cast - with the exception of one (Yeun -- to be frank, I did not find his portrayal of his character too convincing).
  12. The Farewell
  13. Little Women
  14. Ford v. Ferrari
  15. Soul
  16. Mirani* If you did not enjoy Yeun's performance in Burning, but want to give it another shot -- try Minari. A raw, inclusive lens into the Korean American's immigrant's story in the 80s. Not cliche, and has an appreciative dose of humor and wit.
