What are your films of 2018?

I have a Cinema Pass, so I think I go more than the average person and that it has become prohibitively expensive to many

With that in mind it doesn't matter whether you saw it in the cinema or whether it was new out this year just what are the best films that you saw for the first time this year

For me it's been a funny year I haven't been able to see as many none mainstream movies as I normally would.

So the films I've enjoyed most are surprising to me :

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri
Avengers : Infinity War
A Star Is Born
Blackkklansman
Bohemian Rhapsody

and special notice to

Mamma Mia 2 Blush

Which I accept was crap but absolutely loved Grin

(HQ can you please leave this in Chat not films for a while because Chat gets more traffic )

Searching

Mamma Mia 2

Die Hard (which I’m watching on Saturday with ds) 🤣🤣

UrsulaPandress · 20/12/2018 13:33

I've only been once this year and that was to see Mamma Mia 2.

AndThereSaw · 20/12/2018 13:38

A Quiet Place
The Greatest Showman
Bohemian Rhapsody
Three Billboards was excellent but I can't say I enjoyed it or want to watch it again
A star is born, ditto
The Shape of Water, ditto

Most disappointing (because I thought I was going to love it): Hereditary

MrsJayy · 20/12/2018 13:41

I think i saw greatest showman last year week between christmas and Ny maybe not

bizzers · 20/12/2018 13:45

The Florida Project
Bohemian Rhapsody
Three Billboards
First Man

PawneeParksDept · 20/12/2018 13:45

I missed Game Night in the cinema and watched it pay per view.

I turned it off halfway

Very disappointed

To clarify my comment on Blackklansman enjoyed is very much the wrong word

It is a very very good film and an important one, but a very hard watch and I wouldn't watch it again in a hurry but I'm very glad I saw it.

The Incredibles,went to keep my dd happy and loved it.Lots of good films this year but I needed a good laugh.

JamesBondFire · 20/12/2018 13:55

The Greatest Showman!

crappygilmore · 20/12/2018 14:25

Defiantly 3 billboards it was so brilliant Francis whatserface is an amazing actress.

And took ds to see Christopher Robbin which despite reviews I thought was lovely.

Whoseranium · 20/12/2018 18:34

Mandy is definitely my film of the year, I absolutely loved it. Annihilation is a very close second though.

PawneeParksDept · 20/12/2018 18:40

Not heard of it

Hereditary and A Star is Born were definitely very hyped, and I was so disappointed with.

Bohemian rhapsody
Coco
Three billboards
The greatest showman

Oh ok I've googled Mandy and it passed me by because I really struggle to watch any horror at all.

It's just my sensibility

I thought I'd get away with Quiet Place because it's a creature feature not a horror movie, but nope

A Star is Born
A Quiet Place
Avengers: Infinty War

Bohemian rhapsody was my favourite this year, went cinema 3 times to see it, am rooting for it to get some Oscar nominations (I’m desperate for rami malek to be nominated and win best actor at the oscars).

I liked three billboards and was so glad that they won best actress and supporting actor for it as it was so good.

A star is born was okay, didn’t overly think it was worth the hype.

gaggiagirl · 20/12/2018 19:01

This thread is great, a few of these movies passed me by so I'll look out for them now.

And... I LOVED hereditary.

gaggiagirl · 20/12/2018 19:03

jazx agree with everything you said. What an amazing job Rami did. I loved that film so much I'm going to see it again on Saturday with DH hopefully.
