The Best Movies of 2018

It’s time for The Movie Gourmet’s Top Ten list for 2018. To get on my year-end list, a movie has to be one that thrills me while I’m watching it and one that I’m still thinking about a couple of days later.

Between my number one and two choice, I could have gone either way. Here ‘s my Top Ten for 2018:

  1. Leave No Trace
  2. Roma
  3. The Rider
  4. Shoplifters
  5. The Other Side of the Wind
  6. A Star Is Born
  7. Green Book
  8. The Death of Stalin
  9. (tie) Beast and Custody
  10. BlacKkKlansman

The rest of the best of 2018 are:

  • Monrovia, Indiana
  • Three Identical Strangers
  • Quality Problems
  • Outside In

I would have included Bikini Moon and Barefoot if they were more widely available.

You can find fuller descriptions of these films and links to my posts about them (with images and trailers) at my Best Movies of 2018 page.
