PLAYLIST 100 AND TFF #49




Each year around this time The Playlist maps out a list of its 100 most anticipated films for the following year. each year I try to cull some ides for what might be in the mix as possible choices for Telluride.  Last year's assessment ended up with me picking 20 films as possible for TFF #48.  That list ended up having seven films that were on TFF's announced list of films for 2021: 

The Electrical Life of Louis Wain
The Velvet Underground
The Card Counter
Petite Maman
The Power of the Dog
Bergman Island
The French Dispatch

Four films were on last year's list that made the TFF #48 which I did not predict:

King Richard
The Lost Daughter
Red Rocket
C'mon C'mon

So here's my stab at this year's list at some films that could play TFF #49:

#87 The Good Nurse
#77 Kenneth Branagh's Untitled Bee Gees Film
#68 Rustin
#54 The Pale Blue Eye
#52 The Son
#48 The Actor
#47 Beth and Don
#45 The End
#39 Maestro
#38 The Whale
#29 Red, White and Water
#21 Babylon
#15 Showing Up
the other #15 (yes, the list has two 15's) TAR
#14 Armageddon Time
#11 White Noise
#10 Poor Things
#7 Blonde
#6 Bardo
#5 Bones and All
#4 Women Talking
#2 Killer of the Flower Moon
#1 The Killer
