2018 has been a strange year for cinema. An uneven mix of brainless, tiresome, mainstream blockbusters, and overlooked, underseen, or flat out dismissed independent/art house. And then some even stranger ones that fall some place in the middle. While I have yet to give a perfect score to any release yet, I'm holding out hope that the best films for the second half of the year are being saved for later months, per usual. Still, there have been several highlights sprinkled here and there. Here are my current, subject to change, top 20 films of the year, as well as some dishonorable mentions. Enjoy!
EDIT: As I have now seen quite a few films that I believe deserve to be on this list, I've decided to expand the list from top 15 to top 20. I'm not the most organized of people, so bear with me as I make some adjustments.
UPDATE: As I said below, I've since seen plenty of films that I would add to my top 20 favorites of year, as well as some awful ones. I will be completing the list with the final top 2 as they remain pretty much the same on the list as of this writing. I'll then be adding un-ranked reviews of every other 2018 release I want to see, once the year is up I'll re-evaluate my ratings/rankings and post a final top 20. Sorry for the confusion and the mess, I'm not the most organized of people apparently.
