John Waters’ Best Films of 2021 Topped by Leos Carax’s ‘Annette’

December 1, 2021 Jordan Ruimy

It’s become a sort of annual tradition over here to post John Waters’ annual list of the best films of the year.

I can never get enough of Waters’ eclectic tastes — just the sheer fact that he is responsible for making “Pink Flamingos,” one of the most tasteless movies ever created, ranks him way up in my books.

I’m loving the early love from both Cahiers and Waters for Bruno Dumont’s “France.” Also, Leos Carax’s “Annette” — which tops his list — seems to be getting a major reevaluation from the high brow critics.

The list below:

1. Annette
2. Summer of Soul
3. Vortex
4. France
5. The Most Beautiful Boy in the World
6. Mandibles
7. Red Rocket
8. The Tragedy of Macbeth
9. Saint-Narcisse
10. The Onania Club
