Here, for your consideration, is Uncut’s list of the 20 Best Films Of 2018. If you’re interested in the administrative aspect of this list, it was voted for by a shadowy cabal of Uncut staffers, writers and a few trusted confidants. It broadly dovetails with my own personal Top 20, though I think the film that’s stuck with me most throughout the year is the Good Time. And, in case you were wondering — no, we didn’t include Twin Peaks, because that’s a TV series not a film.

Much to look forward in the year ahead, by the way, starting with Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread. But more about that nearer the time…
