I, like many people, hate that 1001 always includes recent films that many feel won't stand the test of time. I always thought they should put a restriction on how long to wait to put a film on the list (like the way the National Film Registry only allows films that are at least 10 years older than their release date). If they only waited 5 or 10 years to include new films, then they would know which ones are still culturally relevant and which ones have faded away.
I haven't bought the 2021 book but looking online it looks like there are 11 additions -
Nomadland
Small Axe: Lover's Rock
Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Soul
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Tenet
Saint Maud
Rocks
The Assistant
The Vast of Night
Blue Kite
and the deletions are -
13th (2016)
Avengers Infinity War (2018) & Endgame (2019)
Birdman (2014)
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
The Favourite (2018)

The Farewell
Monos
Booksmart
The Lighthouse
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Joker
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Lamerica
Toy Story 4 (now the Toy Story Quartet)
Avengers Endgame (two part entry with Infinity War)
Removals:

Removals:
Buffalo 66
Magnolia

In my opinion, it's pretty strange to see the likes of Amores Perros, Yi Yi, Magnolia and Hable con Ella go out, and the likes of Avengers: Infinity War, A Star is Born and The Greatest Showman get in. But whatever - it's their list and their logic. Should not take these things too seriously, I constantly try to remind myself. :)
A very thorough list, though some "essential films" are missing like The Great Dictator or Fanny and Alexander. The picks for the 2000s are a bit strange too. Paranormal Activity, The Hangover and Monsters more essential than Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Amelie, Mulholland Drive, Lost in Translation, Million Dollar Baby, etc.?

I've always been discouraged from "tackling" these 1001 movies lists, as they seem rather impenetrable and lacking in proper context. Well done to whoever finishes them, mind.
My 2020 edition arrived this morning and the 2019 new additions are Joker, Parasite, Little Women, For Sama, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Booksmart, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Farewell, Monos, and The Lighthouse.
In theory there could be additions in earlier years but I haven't been through to check or to look for the deletions.
