Rank the 2018 Best Picture Nominees

I did the same thread for 2017, I'm very curious to see how others will rank these films. I looked to see if there was a thread like this, and I didn't find, sorry if it has.

1. Shape of Water - 100/100 - All around beautiful: Beautiful characters, beautiful cinematography, amazing sequences, aesthetically masterful, and very risky film making that payed off in all of its aspects.
2. Lady Bird - 98/100 - One of the best Coming of Age flicks I've ever seen, I was so invested in Lady Bird and her journey. Extremely well written and acted, not a single flaw in this film for me.
3. Get Out - 95/100 - One of the best Psychological thrillers I've seen in recent years. It is not often you see a genre filmed handled with so much care.
4. Call me by Your Name - 93/100 - This film feels extremely real, it is never over-dramatized. Beautifully shot and beautifully acted, also perfectly paced.
5. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - 88/100 - Definitely the best character work I've seen all year (2017) Best performance by lead actress as well, and a very human and affecting story. Ending was a problem though.
6. Darkest Hour - 80/100 - Gary Oldman absolutely makes this great, I don't know if I would feel the same with any other actor. It is also a very well realized character study film that engrossed me.
7. Dunkirk - 75/100 - Technically, this film doesn't have any overbearing flaws. Great directing, great cinematography, great sound design, just great in general. However, I like my films with character, so I was very dissapointed in that department.
8. The Post - 70/100 - All talent behind and in front of the camera was amazing to see. It was very hard to get into the first 40 minutes, however, once the main plot kicks in, the film kept me in its grip the whole time.

01. Phantom Thread
02. Call Me By Your Name
03. Lady Bird
04. The Shape of Water
05. Dunkirk
06. Get Out
07. The Post
08. Three Billboards
09. Darkest Hour

Don't think much of the bottom three, the other six are average up to pretty great.

Have you not seen Phantom Thread or did you forget about it?

1. Call Me By Your Name +
2. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri +
3. Get Out
4. Lady Bird
5. The Post +
6. Dunkirk

Watching it either later today or tomorrow morning.

Top 6 Personal Favorites:

1. Phantom Thread
2. Lady Bird
3. Dunkirk
4. Three Billboards
5. Call Me By Your Name
6. Get Out

Call Me By Your Name would be higher if this was a 'Top 6 Best films' list.

I'm waffling a lot on those top three spots, particularly Dunkirk and Get Out. Ask me tomorrow and I'd probably flip them, and then back on Wednesday.

I have Lady Bird above Shape of Water, but other than that we are literally reversed.

That's the movies for ya'.

I also almost flipped Lady Bird and Darkest Hour. I figure that might stick out, to some. I was just really impressed by how brisk Darkest Hour felt.

Either way, it's the second year that we actually had good nominees as a whole, regardless of what ended up winning and all that.

seen:
Dunkirk - 7/10
The Shape of Water - 7/10
Get Out - 6/10
Three Billboards - 5/10

havent:
Phantom Thread

the rest:
dont care/10
