Top 20 Best Films Of 2018

2018 was a fucking great year for movies. Not only that, it felt like there was some unified intent in the collective unconscious to finally get shit right, revising and correcting whole swathes of cinematic history in its wake. I could have made this a Top 40 list, and it still would’ve involve making some painful cuts because the best the year had to offer was just that damn good. Time for one last trip in reminiscence as I look at my picks for the top 20 best films of 2018.

Twisted Pair (2018) - Movie Review

Hollywood serves not just as an example of one of the single biggest cinematic forces in our culture, but also a consistent showing that budget isn’t everything. If you hand a multi-million dollar project to someone who can’t even be trusted to direct traffic, you can’t expect the 0s in the bank to cover a lack of artistic vision, style or even just artistry writ large. Money isn’t everything, and in the world of cult cinema, that law holds true but in the diametrically opposite direction.
