  The Best Movies of 2020 This was, in many respects, a year to forget—but not so when it came to film. Although most were viewed on inadequately small screens, the legion of fiction and non-fiction releases that helped us cope with our pandemic-wracked reality delivered welcome doses of excitement, drama, terror, and humor. Whether tapping into universal hopes and fears, or incisively reflecting our current insane circumstances, they offered insight and escape, as well as thrills of a breathtakingly varied sort. No one knows if 2021 will bring us back to theaters or have us continuing to experience new works on our TVs, tablets and phones. Yet as evidenced by the numerous gems that arrived over the course of the past twelve months, cinema remains as vital as ever. While we can't celebrate them all, this year-long rundown has certainly tried to do justice to the finest that filmmakers had to offer. Dynamic, unique and altogether triumphant, these are our selections for the best movies of 2020.   Acne Studios' Luxuriously Cozy Canada Scarf Is Like a Warm Hug on a Cold Day Were all of us scarred by the experience of pulling on extremely scratchy woolen items supplied by grandparents and forced upon our childhood selves during the holidays, or just most of us? Either way, there's a common misconception, bafflingly still held in 2020, that wool is always itchy. It is not! Some wool is so soft and sumptuous it'll have you asking, "Cashmere who?" and wondering why you haven't been draping yourself in the stuff for as long as you can remember. This scarf is made from that wool. Here's Style Director Jonathan Evans on why it's earned our latest Esquire Endorsement.
 Loungewear Is the Undisputed Winner of 2020. Here's Where to Buy All the Best of It. If you, too, have resigned yourself to another year of glancing at the clothing hanging mournfully in your closet and then positively melting, like so much butter in a hot pan, into yet another set of matching sweats, there's no better time to replenish your supply of loungewear than right now. Because more brands than ever are serving up blanket-soft loungewear of all kinds, and the days before New Year's are the perfect time to remind yourself why you won't be going back to wearing any, ahem, less-forgiving clothing once the holidays are over.  The Art of the Nap: A Ranking of the Top 10 Naps to Be Had 2020 was a lot, and as we strain to shake it off us, it is crucial to practice snooze-based self-care so we have the strength to push its big dumb ass out the door once and for all. 2021 is going to need you at a 10, so take this chance to recharge…the horizontal way! But which nap is right for you? There are numerous options, and though we may not have access to all of them right now, it's important to analyze and evaluate each; the world will return to some version of normal someday, and when it does, we'll undoubtedly need to shut it out more than ever. Kick those shoes off and sink into the definitive ranking of naps.
 Paul McCartney Is Still Making Great Music. So Why Do We Take Him For Granted? At this point, there's very little Paul McCartney hasn't done. His latest solo album is his 25th, plus five classical projects, five electronic-based albums (mostly under the quasi-alias The Fireman), nine live albums…and then there are his paintings and his children's books and his poetry and on and on. He's probably the most famous rock star in the world, and—unlike Prince and Stevie Wonder and the few other pop artists who can credibly play every instrument—he never got bored with writing hit singles. Here, Alan Light argues that McCartney's been right here all along, staying the course, and making more-than-notable music. His toughest challenge, Light says, is that we take him for granted.  If You're a Guy, Painting Your Nails Can Still Get You Suspended. One Texas Teen Wants to Change That. When Trevor Wilkinson walked into his Texas high school with painted nails, he didn't realize it would be an issue. He had started getting his nails painted as "a way to express myself," he says, without knowing that the public school's dress code specifically forbade male students from wearing nail polish or makeup. His act of self-expression caused a stir that eventually landed him with an in-school suspension. Like anyone of his generation, he took to Twitter. But that's not all he did. Grooming Editor Garrett Munce spoke to Wilkinson about how he became the face of a movement.
