BEST FILMS OF 2018

Without further ado...here are the top 15 films that I enjoyed the most out of the 62 films that I saw that were released in the U.S. in 2018... 15). INCREDIBLES 2 - One of 4 "SuperHero" films on this list 14). BLACK PANTHER - Deserving of all the accolades it received this awards season. 13). BLACKkKLANSMAN - Spike Lee's thought provoker is well worth checking out. 12). VICE - The performances of Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Steve Carrell (who deserved the Best Supporting Actor nomination more than Sam Rockwell) are worth the price of admission to this film. 11). BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE - A bloody good time at the movies 10). A QUIET PLACE - A Jon Krasinski horror flick? You had me at "another great performance by Emily Blunt". 9). GAME NIGHT - The funniest, funnest film of the year. 8). WIDOWS - Most of you missed this terrific crime thriller in November - catch it now that it is streaming on a TV near you. 7). CRAZY RICH ASIANS - the best love story, with the most heart, of all the films this year. 6). ROMA - Alfonso Cuaron deserved his Oscar for this love letter to his youth. 5). MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT - This series just keeps getting better and better 4). AVENGERS: INFINITY WARS - My favorite film in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" (thus far). 3). SPIDERMAN: INTO THE SPIDERVERSE - The first true "comic book" movie, it deserved it's Oscar and is unique and original. 2). GREEN BOOK - I, like so many others, have this as my 2nd favorite film of the year, which is why this charming film ended up winning the Oscar. 1). A STAR IS BORN - Look no further than this past week's Oscar ceremony to see the chemistry between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. But, for me, the true hero of this film was Sam Elliot. Overall, a very good year in film. I can't wait to see what 2019 has in store. And you can take these picks to the Bank(ofMarquis)
