[As mentioned this morning I'm off-line as of this afternoon through Monday night, but I'm giving you a couple of little preview tastes of our 2018 "Golden Trousers" awards, which I'm hoping to have up next week in full.]
So every year in movies is actually a great year in movies if you really stick your face in the thing, but let's just make one thing abundantly clear -- 2018 was a great year for the movies every which way you looked. My list of beloveds runs verrry long and verrry deep -- I could be giving you a Top 50 total and there'd still be flicks I felt irritable over not making that thick cut. (Pour one out for The Guilty, y'all.) So slicing myself down to a Top 30 is as good as I can do. I can't not mention a one of these -- if I tried I would collapse onto a fainting couch and cough blood into a frilly little handkerchief, I swear it.
