2. Hereditary
3. Three Billboards
4. Avengers: Infinity War
5. Searching
6. Annihilation
7. Mandy
8. Bird Box
9. Summer of '84
10. Veronica

Most disappointing: The Nun

See Roma.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

See Roma.

I'll put on the watch list.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I'd have to have a think, but my top two are Coco and MI:6

 

[balaks]

Looking back I really have not seen too many movies in 2018 at all - I've only been to the cinema maybe twice all year (and I can't remember what I saw on the first trip) - if it helps I watched Mary Poppins Returns over the weekend and I balled my eyes out like a child several times and loved it.

 

[Kazi]

1. Mirai of the Future

 

[kps88]

Can only manage eight, the rest aren't list worthy -

1. Spiderman
2. Annihilation
3. Blackkklansman
4. Eighth Grade
5. Ralph Breaks The Internet
6. MI:6
7. A Quiet Place
8. First Man

Biggest disappointment - Mandy. Bored the shit out of me.

Not yet seen Roma or The Favourite. Will never see A Star is Born.

I Tonya
Sorry To Bother You
Phantom Thread
The Other Side of The Wind (and the doc)
The Square
The Breadwinner

Really liked:

[CassiusClaymore]

Not even sure I could name 10. Probably something like (in no order)

Into the Spiderverse
Infinity War
Deadpool 2
Buster Scruggs
Hereditary
MI6
A Quiet Place
Birdbox
Calibre
Annihilation

 

[RORY65]

Roma
Phantom Thread
Cold War
I, Tonya
Spiderman into the Spiderverse
The Favourite (saw a preview on Monday morning so I guess it counts although it wasn't released officially until New Years day)
They Shall Not Grow Old
BlacKkKlansman
Faces Places
Mission Impossible 6

I also liked: Annihilation, A Quiet Place, Avengers Infinity War, Black Panther, A Star is Born, Mamma Mia 2 (bit ashamed of this one), First Man, Kaiser, Bohemian Rhapsody (despite it being a largely crap film), Three Billboards, The Shape of Water, Hereditary, Mary Poppins Returns, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Isle of Dogs and Shoplifters. There are some others I can't remember, the worst film I saw was probably Ready Player One.

 

[KirkDuyt]

This is so hard. Here goes (no particular order)
Loved
MI:6
Three Billboards
Avengers: IW
Game Night
Deadpool 2
The spy who dumped me (feck off, I thought it was funny)
A Star is Born
Bohemian Rhapsody
Antman and the Wasp
Hated
How it ends
Mortal Engines
Fantastic Beasts something something
Red Sparrow
Venom


And special attention for the Happy Time Murders which is honestly one of the worst, crudest, unfunniest, brainvomit inducing pieces of shite I've ever had the displeasure of watching. The creators of this movie should be shot.

 

[Sigma]

I've really not seen that many movies this year as I haven't really had a load of spare time, but I really liked all of these (in no particular order).

Avengers: Infinity War
Black Panther
Incredibles 2
BlacKkKlansman
Mission Impossible: Fallout
Ant-Man and the Wasp

I'd have to have a think, but my top two are Coco and MI:6

Coco is a 2017 film, but I loved it too!

 

[VorZakone]

I find these lists to be immensely uninspiring, which is telling me that I'm likely not Hollywood's target group.

Yeah I seem to say this every year but it's been pretty bang average this time around.

 

[Oldham]

I watched a Danish movie, the guilty (skyldige). Has to be the best movie of 2018.

 

[bucky]

Not seen nearly enough, but here goes the current list:

The Rider
First Man
BlacKkKlansman
Leave No Trace
Eighth Grade
Infinity War
Black Panther
Ant-Man and the Wasp
MI Fallout
The Miseducation of Cameron Post


Looking forward to Roma, Into the Spider-Verse, The Favourite, Skate Kitchen, Hearts Beat Loud, mid90s, If Beale Street Could Talk, Widows, First Reformed, Blindspotting, Sorry to Bother Yo, Tully, Disobedience, Mandy and few more.

The biggest pile of garbage I've seen all year

1. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

I've a lot of 2018 to be catching up on!

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Coco is a 2017 film, but I loved it too!

Released in the UK in Jan 2018 - so for the UK i'd say it classifies as a 2018 film.

It's the same with 3 Billboards.

[Kazi]

[Smores]

I'm suprised no one's produced an overly hipster look at me list yet.

The Guardians 2019 most anticipated films is brilliant for that, has Avengers 29th and Toy Story and Lion King both outside the top 10. Who they kidding

 

[Ian Reus]

3 billboards.
Most of the others shouldn't even be in the mix for movie of the day.

 

[R.N7]

*I'm a philistine look at me*

Is all I can read.

It looks like you offended RN7 by missing his post.

As soon as I'm done reviewing my Oscar Preview VHS tapes I'll make a list for ya

 

[Smores]

Is all I can read.

I'm not sure why you've self qualified your own list, they ain't superior or different. You'll have to try harder.

 

[R.N7]

It looks like you offended RN7 by missing his post.

Yeah, I'm busting my balls watching all this obscure stuff, I mean, what other possible satisfaction could you get from watching non-mainstream films except for feelings of superiority??

 

[fellaini's barber]

Op's list is shit

 

[Ish]

Agree with a lot of the mentions above - though there are also quite a few I’m yet to watch.

Enjoyed Crazy rich Asians as well though. Would probably fit into my top 10.

1) A star is born
2) Avengers
3) MI: 6
4) Crazy rich Asians
5) Searching
6) Hereditary
7) Love Simon
8) Birdbox
9) First man
10) BlackKklansman

Wasn’t too impressed by Annihilation. Too many I haven’t watched though. Too much to do, too little time.

 

[RedSky]

Disappointing lack of Outlaw King. Brilliant film, not everyone will like it as they'll compare it to Braveheart but for me it was enjoyable. Pacing was a little fast at times. But it was much better than most of the shite released this year.

I honestly don't get why people are mentioning Birdbox, that film was a frustrating mess. Each to their own, i'd put that film as one of the most disappointing this year for me.

Annihilation is both my biggest disappointment, and most overrated film of the year.

Wasn't three billboards from last year and nominated for the best picture too? Loved it btw.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Sadly I've seen very few of this year's films.

The ones I've liked:
MI Fallout - Brilliant action flick
Annihilation - Terrific film

That's about it. Didn't find infinity war anything special. Look forward to recommendations from this thread.

Was Logan from this year? Now that was outstanding.

Watch Upgrade, you will like it.

 

[ThierryHenry]

Films I’ve seen that were released in 2018

Modern classics:
Coco
Phantom Thread
Death of Stalin
Ladybird
The Wife
The Favourite

Top-tier blockbusters:
Black Panther
Infinity War
Mission Impossible: Fallout

Bat-shit crazy modern horror that I loved:
Suspiria
Hereditary

Four star films:
I, Tonya
Outlaw King
A Quiet Place (I should have seen this at the cinema, don’t think it worked as it should have at home on my own)
A Star is Born
Love, Simon
The Incredibles 2
The Miseducation of Cameron Post
Only You
On Chesil Beach

Unsure what I thought - do I need to revisit?
The Shape of Water (This probably makes me a bad person - I just failed to believe the core relationship)
Annihilation

Three stars:
Game Night
Ant Man and the Wasp
Crimes of Grindelwald
Bohemian Rhapsody
Venom (Against all odds, Tom Hardy actually made me enjoy this)
Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again (If you don’t love ABBA you don’t have a soul)

Pretty rubbish really:
Solo, Deadpool 2, Ready Player One (outside The Shining scene), I Feel Pretty (don’t ask)

I tried but gave up on Mandy. Will maybe give it another go in the future.

 

[ThierryHenry]

Yeah I seem to say this every year but it's been pretty bang average this time around.

I thought it was a great year for films, which I normally do.

From this thread I make my ‘need to watch’ list:
Roma, Spider-verse, First Man, Sorry to Bother You, Blackkklansman, Cold War, Bird Box, Widows
