ReplyDeleteExcellent choices! Apart from a lot of the same, my list would also include Cap wielding you-know-what in Endgame, the water story in Fyre, the motorcycle chase in Gemini Man, and Far from Home's post-credits scene.
ReplyDeleteWater story in Fyre...good call. Crazy.
DeleteI love this annual list. Cause every time I get to something like - Parasite: What's in the basement or Ad Astra: Monekys; U can't help giggling with joy at the memory.
ReplyDeleteThis list definitely makes me want to revisit so many movies (and see others for the first time). Awesome memories and moments, captured succinctly! Thanks Patrick!
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite things in movies this year:
ReplyDeleteDamian Lewis as Steve McQueen
Jim Norton as Don Rickles
Can't believe I forgot the pyramid in ONE CUT OF THE DEAD.
