Film is back and with a force.
As the stage lights went down in 2020, so many productions were put on hold, are yet to restart or they were completely scrapped.
So little was released in 2020 and those that were, the studio had to make rapid moves away from theatrical releases to streaming blockbusters straight into homes for the first time ever.
But 2021 came back with a force and what a year for film it was. From the most anticipated Bond yet, down to Netflix marvels like The Unforgivable and Tick Tick Boom.
There are so many films we loved in 2021 but we run down our top 10 in no particle order.
(Mainly because the office couldn't agree on the order of who came top 3!!)
