My favorite films of 2018

I managed to see a lot of films that came out this year, thanks to the miracle of MoviePass (that has since mostly expired...although I still have a membership and continue to hold out hope that it will get better).

All in all, I saw about 50 movies, not including Netflix comedy specials, that came out in 2018. Here are my favorites, in no particular order:

  • The Favourite
  • Roma
  • Blackkklansman
  • First Reformed
  • Shoplifters
  • Tully
  • Minding the Gap
  • The Rider
  • Private Life
  • Sorry to Bother You
  • Eighth Grade
  • If Beale Street Could Talk
-->
I also posted them on my Letterboxd account.

I think I'd put Roma and The Favourite in the top two slots (I don't know which I'd rank higher!), closely followed by First Reformed and Sorry to Bother You. I haven't yet had a chance to see Cold War or Leave No Trace, which I have high hopes for.

Man, I'd say this was a good year for movies!

i loved blackkklansman! even though i felt like i got punched in the face at the end (have you heard that you cry more during movies when you watch them on an airplane? haha). gave me a lot to think/be mad about.

i also tried watching tully on another flight, maybe it was because i was too distracted but i had a hard time getting into it. i think it hit a little too close to home (or maybe it didn't and i hoped it would? i couldn't really relate to charlize theron's character even though i have gone through similar feelings), but really it was probably because i watched it... on a plane. hahaha. anyway, i'll have to give it another go!
