The Best of 2021 Laszlo Rojas

Here I will list my favorite movies and series of 2021. I include all the movies I’ve seen in the year, whether released or from past decades that I’ve been hanging on, and I’ve seen almost all of them on stream (the only movies on my list I saw in multi-cinema were Cry Macho and The French Dispatch). I will refer to the platform, festival, or medium where you watched each movie or series, trying to list them in order of preference.
