Movies I watched in 2018 for the First Time


Here is the list of movies I saw in 2018 that I had never seen before. There is a total of 135 (I know the numbering is weird on Wix but trust me) and I bolded my top 10 favorites and give a little explanation why I liked them so much. They are in the order I watched them in 2018, not by any sort of ranking. I didn't include any 2018 movies in my top 10 because that will be a separate list coming soon. Also didnt include any 2017 releases that were already talked about in my top ten from that year. *= 2018 release ! = honorable mention

  1. The Shape of Water

  2. Downsizing

  3. Child's Play- As a fan of horror I had always wanted to see the Chucky movies. It may have taken me until 2018 to watch, but it didn't disappoint. This cult classic about a serial killer possessing a toy doll is shocking, hilarious and gory all at the same time. A must-see for any horror fan. It's a blast and seriously enjoyable.

A truly riveting documentary that shouldn't be missed.

  1. The Frozen Ground

  2. Identity- This film took me by surprise since I had never heard of it before. Directed by James Mangold (Logan) and starring John Cusack, this mystery has a truly superb and surprising story.

  1. Predators

  2. You're Next- I had been dying to see this horror film since it came out in 2011. It was so worth the wait. Adam Wingard's intense home invasion movie is gory and keeps you on the edge f your seat. Another must see for horror fans. I've always been a fan of Adam Wingard and this film made me like him even more.

  28. Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle- A low budget, dumb, raunchy fantastic comedy. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is obvious to me why it's a cult classic. It's relatable, it's got heart and is most importantly, over the top hilarious.
