Let’s Remember This Insane Year By Giving Out Arbitrary Awards
This is a custom heading element.
As we near the end of 2020 (whew!), it’s tradition to reflect on the year’s best with a Top 10 post. Even with a slimmed-down slate, it’s challenging to dilute such robust works into a numbered list. From off-kilter psychological head trips to prioritizing the soothing sounds of ASMR triggers, there were many incredible films that we felt offered unique perspectives to this year’s cinematic landscape, and we want to highlight some of those under the radar films with their own special awards.
The Most “ASMR-Worthy”
These are the films that tapped into the soothing sounds of audible nirvana.
The Most “Umm… WTF?” of the Year
These are the films that created psychological brain mazes and left us wondering what we just saw.
The Best Needle Drop Moments
These are the films that had us singing under our breath or (discreetly) Shazam-ing.
The Ones That Made Us Weep
We were sad a lot this year. We were also beautifully uplifted (to tears) with these films, whose revelations of the human condition had us drying our eyes.
The Ones That Made Us Question, “Is This Real Life?”

No explanation necessary if you’ve seen Call Me By Your Name.
