[Show spoiler]This has to be one of my favorite blu-ray.com community lists overall. So unexpected in so many ways. I don't like that The Menu made it to #6, but I still enjoyed the movie and appreciated the ending inspired from the film in my avatar.
Even Tar, which is somewhat underrated and at least I thought not as many people had seen, made it in the Top 10 which I thought was neat.
While I'm going to throw this out there, I want to preface with this is purely innocent speculation and in no way a dig at the credibility of this list, but I do hope there was no DC fanboy rigging again to boost The Batman. Maybe not everyone here will remember what happened, but at least that year, the film it happened to was a little bit more obvious when it ranked so high.
Even I ranked The Batman a spot higher than EEAAO, so I certainly can't say it is totally out of place. But I think it is worth mentioning.
My guess is movies like Aftersun would have ranked higher had more people seen it. Still glad it made the list.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Thank you, thewerepuppygrrr for a stellar job on this year's list. You rock!
Wow, Close coming in with the fewest amount of votes at (8)! Yet it still makes the “Top 50”. Obviously the 8 people who voted for it placed it high. I listed it in my top five at the very last minute before the deadline. I didn’t think it would be eligible for this year, but saw a few others voting for it. I also had mixed feelings about it. I thought the movie was really good when I saw it in the theater, but there were some things about it I didn’t like. The movie stuck with me though almost more so than any other film I saw last year. Very unique and very relatable. It’s definitely my favorite non English language film of last year. Just the fact it made the ‘Top 50’ is awesome.
