what are your 3 favorite movies of 2018 so far?

I feel like Mandy is a film I might have some interest in if I wasn't completely turned off by the bacon cult of Cage

Shoplifters
Zama
Claire's Camera

Barbara Rubin and the Exploding NY Underground
Design Canada
The King

mandy
first reformed
the strangers: prey at night

this is pretty good for me, i so rarely even see three films in their year of release

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
First Reformed
Sorry to Bother You

Border
Sorry to Bother You
The Favourite

The local film festival(s?) are mostly retrospective, and I'm trying to wean myself off some addictions with no high-speed internet, so I've missed quite a few of this year. Eager to see Shoplifters and Free Solo.

Also, plan on using Noodle Vague's "bacon cult" in everyday speech.

I mostly just watched trash this year: Mandy, Annihilation, Avengers, Crazy Rich Asians, most of Black Panther. I guess Mandy was my favourite.

24 Frames
First Reformed
Monrovia, Indiana

Shirkers
Shoplifters
Zama

And a couple of months ago I wouldn’t have believed how close Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse is to making it.

we doing a fave films poll of 2018 after we watched a few 2019 films?

I watched about an hour of Zama yesterday before giving up. A bit too dry for my tastes, definitely Not My Thing tbh.

Infinite Football
Madeline's Madeline
Nervous Translation

We looked for Infinite Football on various (legit) movie player websites and couldn't find it. Is it anywhere?

I don't know. There's a loop with fifteen minutes repeated four times on Dailymotion, I think, but that's not really legal...

There's screenings in Cleveland and Chicago the next couple of months...

Let the Sunshine In
24 Frames
You Were Never Really Here

First Reformed
You Were Never Really Here
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Madeline’s Madeline
Spiderverse
Skate Kitchen

La Flor
Transit
Ash Is Purest White

I think my favorites were:

blackkklansman
spiderman: into the spiderverse
mandy

there are still plenty of things I haven't seen

2019 revive?

High Flying Bird
Us
The Souvenir

I mostly just watched trash this year

I value the trash lists dearly
