The Best Movies of 2018

Top of the heap: our live countdown and discussion of the year's best films

Every year we send out a poll to our critics and staff and put together a list of the best movies of the year. For 2018, we did something a little different and fun: we counted down the best movies of the year at a live Film Comment Talk at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Along the way, I discussed the results with a group of our all-star critics: Molly Haskell, critic and author; Michael Koresky, director of editorial and creative strategy at the Film Society of Lincoln Center; and Sheila O’Malley and Nick Pinkerton, also frequent FC contributors. You can listen to the whole countdown and discussion below. Peruse the lists here: Best Films of 2018 and Best Undistributed Films of 2018.

This story is part of the November-December 2018 issue of Film Comment.
