It's got to be Everything Everywhere All at Once, though if I knew what it was about I probably wouldn't have watched it when i did. Sobbed through the entire third act.
I would guess Everything, Everywhere All at Once, but I haven’t been to the theaters as often as I was before COVID. As smaller films this year I really liked The Outfit.
Same here, my mind immediately jumped to Everything, Everywhere all at once, too, it really was that good. Decade is still young though, who knows what amazing films are just around the corner?
I also have to go with Everything, Everywhere All At Once. Not just because it's the best, most creative film I've seen this far this decade, but because it seems to have FINALLY woken people up to Michelle Yeoh.
While I thought it would have been the Banshees of Inisherin when I learned it was being made & even reminded the great Promising Young Woman came out in the time frame (& would be my choice), absolutely has to be Everything Everywhere All at Once. A truly magical experience seeing that flick.
Everything Everywhere All at Once, but seeing that already posted a couple times I think my "most pleasantly surprised while stuck on an airplane" award would go to Bullet Train. No masterpiece, but I love a rewatchable silly piece of fun almost more sometimes.

This question just makes me realize I've still missed a lot of movies over last couple of years.
My answer is going to be "The Worst Person in the World" because it's the only new movie blu-ray I've bought over past couple of years. I need to re-watch now that I visited Oslo this summer.
Runners up, most of the Small Axes, & everything everywhere all at once, and the northman.
I have to go with Dune which I thought was good but not, perhaps, great when I first watched it. But then I watched it again…and again…and again…and now, I would say its a visually stunning movie with a fabulous score, one that does a good job of telling the story (without inner monologue slowing the narrative and telling us something we’re going to learn in the next 30 seconds anyway—really hate that about the book), and which keeps viewers entertained from the first minute to the last. Definitely looking forward to the release of part two and watching them together.
Everything is of course #1, but I’m also going to throw out Onward for animated films and Underwater for a surprisingly decent riff on the underwater monster genre. It felt as close as anyone has come to Alien since the 70s. That first 20 minutes of The Empty Man was surprisingly effective as well. Are they the best movies? No, but each offered something I needed during COVID, so judge me if you must.
Riders of Justice. I also think this group in particular will love it; because, a lot like Spectators, it's a brilliant story with lingering depth that's impossible to tell where it's headed at any given minute, but you love the ride.

Amsterdam! Just kidding. It’s Everything Everywhere all at Once
An early and commanding lead for Everything, Everywhere!

I’m a huge fan of Lynch’s Dune, and I absolutely loved Villeneuve’s version. Let’s go Part Two!

Swan Song. Saw the movie with my wife & I think I may be getting sappy at my old age.

Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Who is going to break this streak of comments?
That film lives up to its title as it immediately rocketed into place as one of my favourite films ever.
I also tip my hat to Dune (Part One) as another favourite from this fledgling decade.
My vote is Nope 🛸- but I haven’t seen Everything Everywhere All at Once, and now I feel like I have too 🙂
