List: Top 5 Scenes of 2021

This week on Episode 464 of the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed the best movie scenes of 2021. Of all the year end lists we do, aside from our Top 10 of the year, this one is always the most difficult to do. But it’s also the most rewarding as well as these are the moments that moved us the most emotionally, they left us jaw dropped, provoked us intellectually and ultimately they will define 2021 for us. And as usual, there are countless individual scenes that could qualify for this list, but that’s what makes this list exciting in the end. Given that there are so many to choose from, the scenes that do make our list carry a lot of weight with us. That said, here are our lists:

That is to say, your list could look very different than ours given the amount of great scenes we saw in 2021. That being said, what would be your Top 5?
