GMD Social Poll: Top Ten Films of 2018

[Bloopy]

Guess I have a list for this now.

1. Under the Silver Lake*
2. Ready Player One
3. Mandy
4. The Man Who Killed Don Quixote*
5. Andhadhun
6. Sorry to Bother You
7. The House That Jack Built
8. Lords of Chaos*
9. Level 16
10. High Life*

*Films I counted in the 2019 thread based on wider release. I made this an overlappy year as by non-fest dates it'd be a gappy year with 6 picks (The Public Image Is Rotten instead of Level 16). Not as if anyone's counting now anyway.

I've seen him referenced so many times in pop culture that I feel like I have.
