THE 2020 BUFFIES

 

I wish I had gotten this idea long ago, but better late than never.  I got the idea from Robbie Fleming, who does his own awards for all the movies he sees.  My awards are specific to war movies.  The “Buffies” will be my awards for the best war movies over the past year.  2020 was a good year for war movies.  There was not a lot of quantity, but the quality was good.  I did not see every war movie last year, but I feel I saw all the award-worthy movies.  These included “Da 5 Bloods”, “The Outpost”, “Greyhound”, “The Last Full Measure”, and “Resistance”.  Here are my awards:
