List your 5 favorite movies of 2018 so far

Isle of Dogs
Black Panther
Deadpool 2
Game Night
A Quiet Place

Yes.

Went to a screening on the 10th.

1. Avengers: Infinity War
2. A Quiet Place
3. Annihilation
4. Darkest Hour (I saw this in January)
5. Black Panther

I think those are all the movies I've seen this year, so I'm pretty much just ranking them. I might be forgetting one, though.

Annihilation. 9.5/10
Paddington 2. 9/10
A Quiet Place. 8/10
Game Night. 6.5/10

These are the only four movies I’ve liked this year. Fifth place would be You We’re Never Really Here (5/10). Everything else has been pretty bad.

Edit: haven’t seen Infinity War yet

It honestly really hasn’t been. I love the first three movies on my list. ‘Annihilation’ and ‘A Quiet Place’ were fantastic theater experiences and I just saw ‘Paddington 2’ today (which I LOVED) but missed that one in the cinemas. It’s May , almost halfway through the year, but I’ve only been to the cinemas three times (Annihilation, Black Panther, A Quiet Place). That’s an extremely low number for me. I’m hoping some good films come out soon because I’m feeling a bit deprived, especially considering how great of a year it was for movies last year.

Out of the small amount of 2018 released movies I have seen, which is twelve movies, the only ones of those I like are...

1.Hostiles (2017-2018) - 7/10 (this was a bit of a surprise for me. it's Bale's best performance and his second best movie behind The Prestige(2006)(8/10))
2.Anon (2018) - 6/10 (I like nearly all of this directors movies, which is 6 out of 7 movies, and four of those are amongst My Favorite Movies in general. I rank the directors movies like this... 1)Lord of War(10/10) 2-3)S1m0ne/Gattaca(both 8/10) 4)Good Kill(7/10) 5)Anon(6/10) 6)In Time(6/10) 7)The Host(5/10))
-.Molly's Game (2017-2018) (my favorite movie of Jessica Chastain in a leading role)
4.Annihilation (2018) (it's a bit weird but I like it enough to see it again. Ex Machina(7/10) is still the directors best movie as that stands out unlike this one.)
5.The Commuter (2018) (a decent Liam Neeson action movie and Vera Farmiga (who's, in short, the most attractive person ever) is always a solid bonus)
6.Mute (2018) - 5.5-6/10 (barely a Thumbs Up) (this is a disappointment considering the directors previous two movies in this genre are top notch, which are... Source Code (2011)(9/10) and Moon (2009)(8/10). with that said... it will be interesting to see how Mute fairs for me on a re-watch as based on my initial viewing it's quite weak at times but it does have flashes of standing out to. I am hoping another viewing locks it's 6/10 into place. but then again, it could easily drop off.)

NOTE: some of that list order (pretty much 2nd place and lower) is guesstimated based on how I think they will hold up when I get around to re-watching them.

I suspect once I get around to seeing that it 'should' be solid given that directors rep with me currently which is quite strong as nearly all of his movies I score a 7.5-8/10 or higher(i.e. my top 105 movies or better).

in fact, here is how I rank that directors movies...

1.Up in the Air (2009) - 8-8.5/10 (my #1 movie of 2009)
2.Thank You For Smoking (2005) - 8/10 (my 4th or 5th favorite movie of 2005)
3.Young Adult (2011) - 7.5-8/10 (my #3 movie of 2011)
4.Juno (2007) (my #3 movie of 2007)
5.Men, Women & Children (2014) (my #1 movie of 2014)
6.Labor Day (2013-2014) - 2/10 (boring)

The Death of Stalin
Isle of Dogs
Tully
Unsane
