So far I've seen 99 films at the cinema this year, well behind most years. And it hasn't been a particularly memorable year. No science fiction or fantasy films left their mark, and there weren't many successful comedies. But I've still managed to scrape together a list of my top ten.
I should mention that Paddington 2 missed out on last year's list due to its very late in the year release date, but it deserved to be there.
10. First Man - the story of the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong
9. Bad Times at the El Royale - who'll survive a night at this motel?
8. Juliet Naked - Rose Byrne, Chris O'Dowd & Ethan Hawke. That's all you need to know.
7. Journey's End - in the trenches of the Great War, waiting for orders to advance
6. Crooked House - a country house whodunnit
5. Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - WW2
4. The Darkest Hour - the third and best Churchill movie of 2018
3. Mission Impossible Fallout - kinetic and non-stop thrills
2. Death of Stalin - the funniest film of the year
1. On Chesil Beach - tragic drama set in the 1950s
Clearly I like English period dramas. They make up half of the ten.
Honourable mentions go to Overlord, Solo, and Ophelia.
