  • * RRR becomes the first movie I have (knowingly) included on the Best of list twice. In 2022 I watched it on Netflix. It’s a crazy, over the top Hindi action movie. This year I saw it in a packed, large theater. It was one of my most fun movie experiences ever as the crowd would go wild in support of the action, the heroes, etc. if you ever have the chance to see this in a theater – GO!!
