They Came From 2020! My Movie Watching Guide

When I moved to Seattle in 2008, I began keeping track of all the movies I managed to see which came out that year. I track whether I watched them in the theater (and how many times) or on the small screen (in italics). I also indicate which ones I’ve purchased [Blu-ray].

Below are the movies that debuted in 2020 and at the bottom of this post, you can find links to my rankings from 2008-2019.

A special note on 2020: The movie theaters closed down in March of 2020. I saw six films in the theater using my AMC pass before the closures. Everything else was viewed via a streaming service. Some movies were originally intended to play in theaters, but were converted to originals for specific streaming services which I indicated. Some still made debuted in drive-inn theaters or film festivals. I listed the movies that were delayed from opening in 2020 which hopefully will be out in 2021.

Grand Total: 48                              In Theater:     6

At Home/Streaming:    42              In 2021-2022: 38
