Notable Mentions

There are tons of other movies I watched this year that might make the list if it was released in 2018. And so here are some notable mentions of movies I highly enjoyed that I watched in 2018 for the first time but were not released this year.

#10. BlackKKlansman

An important movie that is not only serious, thrilling, and exciting, but also funny at times. It was acted amazingly and the script is really well-written, though a little slow in pace at times.

#9. Ready Player One

Though I have not read the book of this super famous sci-fi YA story, I highly enjoyed the movie. It’s fun, had excellent special effects, and amazing world building. It’s very colorful and keeps you glued to the screen, and every scene was orchestrated wonderfully.

#8. Deadpool 2

Can’t help but add in this hilarious movie here! It’s such a fun watch with your friends. There are some twists that I didn’t expect either, and of course the characters are great fun and joy.

#7. Christopher Robin

Although I’ve read some mixed reviews of this movie, as someone who grew up with Pooh and his friends, this movie was a ride to the past. It’s heartwarming, cute, but also not a copy paste of the original movies. It’s perfect for kids and adults alike with a surprisingly large amount of humour. I was brought to happy tears by this movie, and what else do you want from a film?

#6. Black Panther

My favourite Marvel movie of the year, yay! It’s of course one of the most highest rated movie by other people as well, but I found it full of depth, with excellent characters, a very intriguing plot, amazing fight scenes, and great world building. Captivating and exciting.

#5. I Am Not an Easy Man

A very recent watch, this French movie is thought-provoking but at the same time funny and warm. It’s quite modern and has a great message, and additionally it has a very fun plot with great characters.

#4. Isle of Dogs

I am a huge Wes Anderson fan ever since I watched Moonrise Kingdom for the first time in high school. This newest release by him is a stop-motion movie about dogs, one of my favourite animals! It’s adorable, unique, fun, hilarious, and so well written. I love the element of dogs and the cuteness of it all, but also the fact that it is set in Japan.

#3. Hereditary

This amazingly scary movie is probably the movie with images that would haunt me for days, even weeks after watching it. It’s suspenseful, thrilling, deep and dark, but also with plot twists and a message behind it. It’s so so unique and creepy, and the acting is just amazing. I was tense throughout the entire movie, and that is a sign of a good horror movie.

#2. Ocean’s Eight

This all-women cast of intelligent and sophisticated women doing a heist is a huge enjoying watch. It’s super fun, exciting, and you cannot stop watching throughout the entire movie.

#1. A Quiet Place

My favourite film in 2018! Though I didn’t watch it in the cinemas, it’s such a good movie. It’s full of suspense, but also has a theme of family and survival. The world is so unique and everyone’s acting is amazing. It is definitely not for everyone, but I love suspenseful and thrilling movies and this dark scary film is perfection.
