In 2020, I saw 280 movies that were new to me. I thought it might be instructive to list the ones I’d like to see in 2021 and then look back in a year to see how well I did. I don’t expect to see everything on this list, if only because some aren’t easily found. Some aren’t streaming, and some aren’t on DVD.
The list is ordered by (descending) release date, although that may change for those that haven’t yet come out. Who knows what theater releases will look like in 2021?
Some are in Netflix’s system but not currently available on DVD or via streaming. Those are in my Saved queue and are so marked below. Those marked simply “Netflix” are streaming on NF currently.
I included titles from Prime, since I have a subscription, but not any from Hulu or others, because I don’t have those services. Finally, “NA” signifies that I can’t find the movie on any of the streaming services or via rent on DVD from Netflix. (By the way, to find out if a movie is streaming anywhere, visit www.reelgood.com, which is an invaluable resource!)
