2018 was the biggest year of 100 Films ever in terms of films viewed, and by some margin: my previous highest total was 2015’s 200, but this year I made it all the way to 261. Throw in my Rewatchathon and I watched 311 feature-length films this year.
This post is, as the title should suggest, a list of those — plus a few other bits and bobs, as outlined in this handy contents list:
- As It Happened — 2018’s monthly updates, containing the numbered list.
- The List — an alphabetical list of every new film I watched in 2018.
- Alternate Cuts, Other Reviews, Shorts — other stuff I reviewed.
- Television — an alphabetical list of every TV programme I reviewed in 2018.
- Next Time — just in case you thought I was done with reflecting on last year.
Here’s a graphical representation of my 2018 viewing, month by month. Each of the images links to the relevant monthly update post, which contain a chronologically numbered list of every new film I watched this year. There’s also other exciting stuff in them, like my monthly Arbie awards, and the list of what I watched in my Rewatchathon.
And now, the main event…
Here’s an alphabetical list of all the new-to-me films I watched in 2018. Each title links to the appropriate review… unless I haven’t posted one yet, in which case it currently links to my “coming soon” page.
