Top 10 Films of 2020 (So Far)

As is tradition here at Scriptophile, I like to mark the occasion of July 1st by highlighting the best of what the first half of the year had to offer. 2020 is an especially odd year, however, with theaters shut down due to COVID-19 and the future of new releases in jeopardy. As such, I saw far fewer movies than I usually do by this point in the year and we may not even have an awards season to look forward to in the fall and winter months! That said, we could all use a little positivity right now and I still love talking about film, so let’s look back and see what the year has had to offer us so far!

Let’s look at the top ten films I believe are waaaay too praised in cinephile circles!

Welcome back to my Best Picture series, in which I set out to watch every one of the 92 films that have won the Academy Awards’ top prize!

Oscars of the Decade: 2010’s
