Best films of 2018?
The Golden Globes have come and gone, so have the SAG awards. But we’ve yet to get to the Oscars so it means that it is the perfect time for film year in review! It’s so hard for me to come up with my top films in a ranked list, so I’ll mention some films I liked in three tiers, but allow the films to remain unranked within each tier. That being said, my favorite film of the past year is probably ROMA. I was lucky enough to see it at a movie theater and I think that made all the difference. It’s a beautiful film, which requires a large screen and undivided attention (in my opinion).
TIER I
Roma
Shoplifters
The Rider (this movie is not getting enough love!)
TIER II
The Favourite
Leave No Trace
Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Sorry to Bother You
Happy as Lazzaro
TIER III
BlacKKKlansman
If Beale Street Could Talk
First Reformed
Eight Grade
Shirkers
The Other Side of the Wind
Faces/Places
Transit
Films I still need to see that might change this list:
Cold War
Burning
The Wife
I am not a witch
Zama
Enjoy – or rage at my quasi-rankings! Either way come chat with me about these films. I have office hours Tuesdays-Thursdays.
