Every week we post official discussions for widely released movies and attach a poll to each asking users to both rank the movies from 1-10 and whether or not they'd recommend them. Those polls get compiled into the yearly list and the all time list every so often.If 2020 was an odd year for movies due to all the streaming releases, 2021 found a way to keep just as many streaming releases while also getting us closer to those big box office performances as the year went on. It was still a strange year to try and collect movies for discussions since there are now roughly 100 streaming services and each releases movies when they feel like it, but we did our best. This is also a strange year because it includes two awards release windows, so don't be too surprised if you see movies from "last year's" Oscars on here.As mentioned in last year's thread, I believe this is one of the best methods we have of ranking movies in this subreddit since each movie is voted on by people who saw it, and not given preferential treatment based on popularity. So, here it is, the top films of 2021 as voted on by the subreddit.RankFilm TitleMean ScoreNumber of Votes1The Father9.046602The Rescue8.89763Spider-Man: No Way Home8.8719,2634Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train8.741,9735Coda8.742466Summer of Soul8.7667Judas and the Black Messiah8.561,0408Riders of Justice8.52039C'mon C'mon8.4910tick, tick...

BOOM!DuneMinariThe Mitchell's vs. The MachinesShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten RingsLucaHere are some more stats from the poll:The most voted on movie was Zach Snyder's Justice League with 20,091 votes with Spider-Man a close second at 19,263. In 3rd place is Dune and 4th is Suicide Squad, although Suicide Squad has 10,527 votes so there is a significant dropoff there.The lowest scoring movie was Home Sweet Home Alone at an average rating of 2.68. The bottom five would be:Home Sweet Home AloneThere's Someone Inside Your HouseCinderellaSpearationDemonicWith the exception of Demonic, all of those films have at least 50 votes.Whereas last year the Netflix movies were the most popular with the highest voting numbers once theaters closed, this year only Don't Look Up made the top 10 most voted on. Whereas HBO Max had six entries in the top ten most voted on movies.The most controversial films (with the highest standard deviation) were Born a Champion (which only got 12 votes but had an SD of 3.18), I Care A Lot (2.87), Woodstock 99 (2.86), and Dear Evan Hansen (2.84)The movie with the least amount of votes made the top 20, About Endlessness.Don't believe me?Link to the resultsAnd here are the ranked results of every poll we've ever done, dating back to 2017PS- If you think this method is lame and stupid, our weekly Best Film You Watched thread maker has their own top voted list based on last week's "What was the best movie you saw in 2021" thread and they will be posting those results with their usual thread on Sunday. It will also be stickied. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3zzKCkt
