After an uncertain year in the film business in 2020, 2021 has seen the rebound of movie theaters and a wave of major releases over the past several months.
From the day-and-date debuts of highly anticipated blockbusters like Godzilla vs. Kong, Dune, and Black Widow to the long-delayed releases of Candyman, No Time to Die, and A Quiet Place: Part II, there's been more than enough cinematic goodness to go around, whether it be on the big screen or on your flatscreen.
But while film critics and Letterboxd regulars are already preparing their "Best Of" lists, there's a whole lot of brain-melting movies worthy of your time and attention that you may have missed in 2021, many of which are available on your favorite streamers right now.
So whether you want a ridiculous recommendation for your friends over the holidays or a quick fix of WTF to shake up your night, these twisted 2021 titles are guaranteed to scratch that itch.
