This was a good year for movies, and a great year for dynamic performances. Box office receipts may be down, but there is no shortage of theatrical releases and interesting content for streaming services.
Rolling Stone magazine's list of the year's 25 Best Movie Performances no doubt includes Adam Sandler in 'Uncut Gems,' Tom Hanks in 'It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,' and Brad Pitt and Leonard DiCaprio in 'Once Upon A Time in Hollywood,' but there are some names on this list you might not be familiar with, including Honor Swinton Byrne in 'The Souvenir' and Sterling K. Brown in 'Waves.' And I had no idea that Matthew McConaughy was in a movie called 'Beach Bum.'
