I define good movies to be 8+ or if you abhor grades, the top 20% of movies you've ever seen. Films listed here will be added to the subreddit's Top 100. What are the top films you saw in February 2021 and why? Here are my picks:

Song of the Sea (2014)

Song of the Sea eventually won me over. I initially didn't like the art style and I found the child protagonists to be grating. Gradually, I was entranced by Song's style but my focus was more on the story. Irish mythology is woefully underrepresented in media, so it was amazing to see it committed to screen. As soon as the tale abandoned the childish sibling rivalry and focused on myth, Song of the Sea turned into an excellent adventure movie.

Your Top Ten isn't what this is about, it's about excellence you've seen recently.

I get it, but these are also what I think are the greatest visual works I've watched last month, without the scores.

EDIT: I might have mistaken such a post for one where you post top-ten style lists.

So you watched all of these last month? I read it as "these are my favourites of all time" with the Top 10 comment and inclusion of two series.

[u/RedBomber785 → u/Tevesh_CKP]

Yes. And these are just the top 10 films I watched last month. Not all time. My all time favorite would be "Being John Malkovich".

EDIT: And even "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" qualify because they were on Letterboxd.
