12. Paddington 2 - Paul King
Director: Sigrid Andrea Bernardo
Cast: Ryza Cenon / JC Santos
Distributor: Viva Films
Release Date: 24 January 2018
"The movie offers up the simple pleasure of watching two charming, attractive people gradually falling for each other, but ends up building something a little more interesting in having them come from different sides of heartbreak."
Philbert Dy, The Neighborhood
10. THE FLORIDA PROJECT
Director: Sean Baker
Cast: Willem Dafoe / Brooklynn Prince / Bria Vinaite
Valeria Cotto / Christopher Rivera / Caleb Landry Jones
Distributor: A24
Release Date: 18 April 2018
Box Office: $5,904,366 (WW)
"To say that The Florida Project is one of the best films of the year would be accurate, but likewise beside the point. The point is that this is a film of rare joy, even in its more unsparing moments, and the kind of film that should be seen by anybody who loves movies."
Dominick Suzanne, Consequence Of Sound
9. ISLE OF DOGS
Director: Wes Anderson
Cast: Koyu Rankin / Bryan Cranston / Edward Norton
Bill Murray / Jeff Goldblum / Bob Balaban
Kunichi Nomura / Ken Watanabe / Greta Gerwig
Frances McDormand / Fisher Stevens / Harvey Keitel
Liev Schreiber / Scarlett Johansson / Tilda Swinton
F. Murray Abraham
Distributor: Fox Searchlight Pictures
Release Date: 30 May 2018
Box Office: PhP1,656,194
$64,241,499 (WW)
"But the unique charm of Isle of Dogs is its bottomless vault of curios, its sly humor, playful graphic inserts and dexterous narrative detours. Anderson breaks the story down into various parts with chapter headings creating a literary structure that binds the discursive story together."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
8. A QUIET PLACE
Director: John Krasinski
Cast: Emily Blunt / John Krasinski
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Release Date: 11 April 2018
Box Office: PhP193,215,784
$340,677,199 (WW)
"In its simplicity and punch, this is a film that feels as if it could have been made decades ago. It is a cracking back-to-basics thriller that does not depend too much on what these creatures look like."
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
7. LADY BIRD
Director: Greta Gerwig
Cast: Saoirse Ronan / Laurie Metcalf / Tracy Letts
Lucas Hedges / Timothée Chalamet / Beanie Feldstein
Stephen McKinley Henderson / Lois Smith
Distributor: Universal Pictures
Release Date: 28 February 2018
Box Office: $78,612,522 (WW)
"Writer-director Greta Gerwig's semiautobiographical Lady Bird is both generous and joyous, but when it stings, it stings deep."
Stephanie Zacharek, Time
6. THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI
Director: Martin McDonagh
Cast: Frances McDormand / Woody Harrelson
Sam Rockwell / Lucas Hedges / Abbie Cornish

Release Date: 14 February 2018
Box Office: PhP922,399
$159,210,164 (WW)
"Following the path of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a little like driving down an unfamiliar road in beautiful but forbidding country late at night, and alternately marveling at the scenery and gripping the steering wheel tightly when yet another steep drop or sudden change of direction presents itself."
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
5. CALL ME BY YOUR NAME

Box Office: PhP2,716,283
$41,887,595 (WW)
"Call Me By Your Name makes eyes and ears swoon, so the heart has little choice but to follow. It's a movie one wishes to live in, speaking the way these characters do."
Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times

Release Date: 25 April 2018
Box Office: PhP1,242,518,311
$2,048,710,150 (WW)
"The Avengers latest stand feels well worth the wait. It's not perfect, but it goes to a place most tentpole movies wouldn't dream of, while retaining the scale, excitement, and humour you've come to demand from an MCU movie."
Matt Maytum, Total Film
3. INCREDIBLES 2
Director: Brad Bird
Cast: Craig T. Nelson / Holly Hunter / Sarah Vowell
Huckleberry Milner / Samuel L. Jackson
Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Release Date: 14 June 2018
Box Office: PhP276,166,531
$1,242,598,825 (WW)
"Incredibles 2 is a movie that could have been made redundant by time. Instead, it lightens the mood in a world gone super-serious."
Jim Slotek, Original-Cin
2. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Based on Mission: Impossible by Bruce Geller

Christopher Machell, CineVue

Box Office: PhP59,510,218
$224,047,691 (WW)
"There's never been anything like this animated exaltation of the Spider-Man canon. The animation is glorious, and more faithful to its comic-book roots than any big-screen graphics in the past. The story is deliciously witty and preposterously complex, but perfectly comprehensible, whether or not you have studied quantum physics. The scale feels vast, yet the spirit is joyous. It's as if everyone had set out to make the best Spider-Man movie ever, which is exactly what they've done."
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
