The best movies of 2018

Tools    





What are the best movies of 2018? Everyone asks in December, but we'd rather tell you them now with a rolling ranking, updated on the regular, featuring the best of the best movies that we 100% recommend. This is not a top 10 list. This is all the best movies of 2018. No mixed bags, interesting trainwrecks, or blockbusters that boast big box-office tallies. Just the true greats -- movies big, small, and from around the world.

Avengers: Infinity War



Welcome to the human race...
Only seen 17 films that I'd count as 2018 releases so far, but my top five would be Isle of Dogs, Annihilation, Distant Sky, Sweet Country, and Avengers: Infinity War (though the latter could easily swap with Black Panther).



You can't win an argument just by being right!

I didn't realize you liked Annihilation. Going off to read your review. I like your reviews even when we have opposing PoVs. You've got a really nice style. I just keep forgetting to go to the review section unless I see a comment about it.

I haven't done a review since October.
OH that's why I can't find it. Thanks for that. Yeah I really liked it as well. I watched it when I was in hospital and having a bit of a tough time with pain so watching it on opioids was a bit of a spin out.

I look forward to reading your review if you feel like writing one.

Deadpool 2 was great, but nothing other than that has really caught my interest. Maybe I end up liking Annihilation and You Were Never Really Here, but all in due time.

I know for sure Ocean's 8 is gonna suck.

Edit: I've also been meaning to see Isle of Dogs, but it hasn't been released in Croatia.



Add Ready Player One and A Quiet Place...what is this thread going to be for ultimately?



Ready Player One & Isle of Dogs are the best so far for me.

Avengers: Infinity War is good but not great, compared to the 2 movies mentioned above.

My top 5 (in no order) so far are: Annihilation, Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, A Quiet Place and Deadpool 2. There's still LOTS to get through though. I've seen 22 so far.



Annihilation, Deadpool 2 and A Quiet Place. (Note: I have not seen Avengers: Infinity War as of yet.)



According to me, the best movie of 2018 is ‘Black Panther’. I’ve personally loved the film a lot and its concepts. ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ seem a bit bulky to me where all the superheroes are there to exhibit their part of superpowers. I also prefer ‘Black Panther’ to other Marvel character.



"Luck don't live out here."
I've seen 29 so far (seeing The Rider tonight, Hereditary on Friday, and American Animals on Sunday). Also, I count any films that were released where I live in 2018 a 2018 film, even if it was in limited release towards the end of 2017.

Top 10:
1. A Quiet Place
2. Annihilation
3. First Reformed
4. Hostiles
5. Avengers: Infinity War
6. Deadpool 2
7. Isle of Dogs
8. Ready Player One
9. Black Panther
10. The Post
