2020's a wrap It took seven years, but it's a wrap!

Thanks for the turnout everybody. A total of 189 unique films were submitted, which, despite the circumstances, was 9 more than last year. Special thank you to those who submitted acting lists, they'll be up first.

Films will be posted alongside their point tally. An asterisks (*) beside a film's point tally indicates it appeared on more lists than a film with an identical point tally, thus gaining an edge.

Runner-ups in alphabetical order: Boys State, Dear Comrades!, Shirley
(Note: Boys State and Dear Comrades! both had 57 points, but were edged out due to other films with 57 points appearing on more lists).

Directors who appeared most on the list (tied with two films each)—
Steve McQueen
Spike Lee
