Jeff's Favorite Movies of 2020

 Wow, what an odd year that was for movies. I genuinely found it difficult to put together a list of things I really enjoyed (hence the late release of this countdown), but this is, I think, mostly the fault of the Oscars, who allowed January and February releases to be made eligible for the 2020 awards. What that ultimately did was push back the releases of the kind of Oscar-oriented movies that normally would pop up in November and December, so a good chunk of the stuff that might have normally slid in just in time for a list like this had to sadly be passed up. Basically what I'm saying is that my 2021 lost is going to be a lot better, even if all the lockdown business is still happening for the rest of the year. 

Anyway, I'm not going to babble on forever, I'll just get into the list. What I've done is singled out the 15-20 movies from 2020 that have stuck out to me the most, and while there aren't any undisputed 10/10 picks in here, I'm still mostly satisfied with these picks. I do really like all the movies on this list, even if it took me a while to come around on some of them.
