Rob Goald's 2018 Top 10
Rob Goald’s 2018 Top 10

2018 was a year that saw substantial changes  in the film business. It was a year in which Netflix became a major player, Marvel unleashed  a black superhero and Spike Lee a black Klansman. It was a year documentaries (Monrovia, Indiana) did very well and  the story of Robin Hood was the universal flop of the year. I guess that in the age of Trump the poor stealing from the rich does not resonate with the youth of the 21st century.
