Letterboxd's 'Official' Top 50 of 2018
<p>It was updated weekly on Sundays. It's ranked by avg l.b. user rating, extracted from <a href="http://letterboxd.com/films/year/2018/by/rating/size/small/" rel="nofollow">here.</a></p><p>High score: <i><a href="https://letterboxd.com/donovandeez/" rel="nofollow">Donovan Dorrance</a></i> has seen 47 films as of 3/3/19!</p><p>Excluded shorts and TV/music. Included documentaries and festival films of 2017 that had their first national release in 2018 (i.e. <i>Thoroughbreds, Bodied</i>). Note: I only included confirmed 2018 releases, not generally undistributed 2017 films. Did not include films that had some national releases in 2017 but U.S. releases delayed for 2018 (i.e. <i>You Were Never Really Here, The Death of Stalin, Paddington 2</i> - which was our #1 of 2017). </p><p>There was a 300 view minimum threshold for films to be eligible to enter the list. As of January, documentaries needed a minimum of 1,000 views. Also note: for blockbusters and highly anticipated movies that tend to get a lot of views and ratings before they come out, I waited until after their release date before I added them. If anything seemed premature, it's added because it's had at least one festival screening. Films need to have a valid IMDb page to qualify for entry. </p><p>See <a href="https://letterboxd.com/jack/tag/letterboxd-official/lists/" rel="nofollow">Letterboxd Official</a> tag for my other 'official' year lists. They concluded shortly after their respective Oscar ceremonies so their ranking is a permanent time capsule.
