The Top 10 Movies of 2018 (in my opinion)

2018 has come and gone, and while it was another mostly miserable year for a mostly miserable decade where the world felt like it was more divided than ever, it was at least an interesting year at the movies. Beneath the ocean of sequels, reboots and remakes, there was a vibrant reef of unique and original films to be discovered, from unexpected mainstream curveballs to experimental indie ventures to unassuming little gems hiding in the crevices of Netflix. And now it’s time for me to count down the best of them. Keep in mind that I didn’t get to see everything I wanted to, hence why Paddington 2, Leave No Trace, Support The Girls, Mandy, The Sisters Brothers, A Star Is Born, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Aquaman, Roma and Vice never got reviews, let alone made it to the list. With all that said, these are the Top 10 Movies of 2018 (in my opinion).
