Song of the Day #3,862: ‘Taiko Drumming’ – Kaoru Watanabe
This week’s countdown of my favourite 2018 films continues.
First, a recap of the list so far:
10. First Reformed
9. Black Panther
8. Support the Girls
7. Crazy Rich Asians
And now, the next two films.
Song of the Day #3,861: ‘Money (That’s What I Want)’ – Cheryl K
This week I’m counting down my top ten movies of 2018, two at a time. I started yesterday with these two titles:
10. First Reformed
9. Black Panther
Picking things up at #8…
Song of the Day #3,860: ‘All the Stars’ – Kendrick Lamar & SZA
This week I’ll count down my favorite movies of 2018, two per day, from #10 down to #1.
This was the hardest top ten movie list I’ve made in years. I saw 70 films this year and enjoyed the great majority of them. It isn’t until you reach the bottom ten or so that I really disliked anything I saw (unlike actual movie critics, I have no obligation to see something I don’t think I’ll like).
Any of the films in my 11-20 slots could have easily found their way into this top ten, and might do just that if you ask me to revisit the list over time.
Song of the Day #3,859: ‘One Down (Live)’ – Ben Folds
Ben Folds is such a good songwriter that he can’t deliver a bad tune even when he wants to.
‘One Down’ is about a time Folds’ record company required him to write 4.6 songs in order to fulfill his contract. Apparently he received .4 worth of credit for an earlier co-written song.
He shit this one out (as he colorfully puts it) to chip away at the obligation.
