ah, 2020, one of the worst years the earth has seen for quite a while, at least for our generation, and this lifetime.
Despite its many challenges, notably the series of lockdown and seeming unlimited quarantine in effect in the Philippines, there were some bright spots and bits of inspiration thrown our way. Some of these include the movies, shows that have kept us company throughout our quarantined days. When most of us are left with no choice but to stay at home, to Netflix and chill as they say, or simply lounge in front of the TV (at least outside of TikTok activities & my usual socmed hours) - we have these entertainment, something to look forward to daily or weekly or every other day - to ward off boredom and also help us focus on important stuff by providing us with worthy diversion. That after coming off our binge-watch or after viewing these films, these shows, sporting events, our spirits are renewed and we benefit from a fresh perspective while at same time taking our minds away from the negative events.
Personally, here are those that were part of my watchlist this year. I am thankful for their production, for the entertainment, the inspiration and pure creativity, & passion and dedication of athletes that made this pandemic & catastrophic year somewhat tolerable:
