2020 was a weird year for movies.

The coronavirus pandemic shut down theaters in March, and even though some have reopened, it has changed the movie industry — quite possibly forever.

As more people are streaming and watching new releases at-home, will this be a new normal? Or will 2020 be a strange period in cinema?

Nonetheless, our Cube Critics Marcheta Fornoff and Euan Kerr still found some gems. Aisha Harris, a host of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, joined them to share her top films. They also discussed what the industry might look like in the next few years.
