TIFF 2020 movies to watch each day is pared back this year but there are still dozens of great films to look out for.

While we are used to choices among hundreds of features, TIFF 2020 programmers have managed to bring us some world-class cinema you can catch from the comfort of your couch, a socially-distanced theatre seat or under the summer stars.

Here's what movies to see each day of the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival.

Sept. 10

The opening film is Spike Lee's concert documentary Amerian Utopia (8 p.m., Visa Skyline Drive-in) about David Byrne's brilliant stage show that followed his concert trip that included a memorable Toronto stop.

You could venture to see Aisling Chin-Yee and Chase Joynt's  No Ordinary Man (8 p.m., Bell Lightbox) about a remarkable musician and then dive into Werner Herzog and Clive Oppenheimer's Fireball (digital presentation) as part of a doc-heavy day.

Sept. 11

Francis Lee's much anticipated Ammonite (9:15 p.m., TIFF Bell Lightbox) makes its premiere, while Nomadland (9:15 p.m., RBC Lakeside Drive-In at Ontario Place) follows on his Venice debut.

There's a free in-conversation with Halle Berry (6 p.m., digital presentation) that you can check out, and you can watch Suzanne Lindon's Spring Blossom (digital presentation) that's described as "remarkable and risqué."

Sept. 12

Ben Sharrock's purgatory dramedy Limbo (12 p.m., TIFF Bell Lightbox) should be a terrific discovery, while Roseanne Liang's Midnight Madness film Shadow In The Cloud (11:59 p.m., Visa Skyline Drive-in at CityView) looks particularly kick-ass.

Halley Berry's pugilistic directorial debut Bruised (digital presentation) drops for home viewing on this day for those staying in.

Sept. 14
