Familiar faces delivered astonishing fresh work. But as you look through Empire’s best movies of 2020 – as compiled from top ten rankings submitted by members of the entire Empire family – you’ll still see a selection of must-watch movies that kept us engaged and entertained as the year went on. The complete shake-up of the cinematic landscape brought on by the pandemic inevitably makes for a very different end-of-year list. Some helped us get through lockdown, others shone a spotlight on injustice in the world, many delivered pure spills and thrills, or scared our socks clean off. Growing through the cracks, flourishing in their own way, movies have been as green and verdant and resilient as ever.
But despite everything, despite the film venue closures, despite the lack of communal viewing experiences, a slew of incredible films still managed to make their way into the world over the last 12 months.
There’s no getting around it – 2020 has been a tough, tough year for so many people, in so many ways. At the start of 2020, the future looked bright – another year packed with cinematic treats from big ol’ blockbusters (Bond! Black Widow! Wonder Woman 1984!) to other highly-anticipated treats ( Last Night In Soho! In The Heights! Candyman!) But in March, the world turned upside down, lockdown began, and cinemas shuttered for months on end. Well, that didn’t quite go how anyone expected it to.
