Live Poll: Metacritic's Best Films of 2018

At least for the parts of your post that I think I understand, I respectfully disagree. Placing films in the order of meta score runs the risk of influencing voters. I'm not sure of the logic behind ordering by genre but it's also just not practical: several films are categorized by more than one genre so I'm not sure how that works. I also like lists in alphabetical order because I think it's easier to remember where your short-list choices are. Thank you for the comments. 

They're different movies, though, so someone may have liked one over the other, although neither will probably receive more than a few votes, if any. Nonetheless, I want to leave that option. Also, the next film on the Metacritic list is a point lower with many ties so, to choose just one, I would have to substitute my decision for Metacritic's and I don't like to do that. Thanks for the feedback, though.

I'll probably vote for 'Shoplifters,' but possibly 'The Favourite.' 'Cold War,' embarrassingly, is one of three or four really good films that I didn't get to see even though they played in my city: I really wanted to see it. I'm thinking Black Panther, Spiderman, Mission Impossible, or Roma will win.
