Best
Films of 2018
Since the average film viewer sees only 6
films a year, the main reason for FilmsToSeeOrNot
is to let film viewers, whether frequent or infrequent, know where to spend
their money.
In my opinion, the number of films worth seeing in 2018 was even less than in 2017
and that year there were even less than the previous year. What’s going on?
This year, I have only a have dozen Must-See films and another dozen I just liked a lot. And, they represent a variety of genres, so I think you will like some of them, too.
So, here are the 6 Must-See Films and 12 Enjoyables, in hopes you will be inspired to become more than an average viewer and go to the movies more often.
Note that I have, also, mentioned a few major disappointments, as well.
Finally, I have included my picks for best actors and some key production personnel.
Note: There are "ties" in some actor/production categories where I just couldn't narrow the choice to one.)
If you can't find these films in theaters, go to Netflix or buy/rent the DVDs. Those listed are all worth your while.
