Please use this thread as a place to put forward possible nominees for Filmspots for the year 2018.

Google Doc

I have to ask the stupid question.
The Stats tab is working fine, but the only FYC I can find is Best Documentary.

Ooops! That would be my fault. I was filtering while doing my CoFCA voting and forgot to toggle back when I was finished. Hopefully this hasted caused too many headaches.

Question for everyone else though, does this mean you can't use the column filters?

I don't want to find them for quote them but I'll second Keith's three nominations for Bohemian Rhapsody, though soundtrack feels like a cheat because like, it's Queen.

With all respect, I will actively campaign against the college-level artsy aesthetic choices in Revenge. Thematically, she may rise like a phoenix into an unstoppable force, but a #timesup twist on cinema’s most base formula? ‘fraid not.

Don’t know why you’d “actively campaign” against one of the best debuts and best genre films of the year (“college level” aesthetics? ‘fraid not), but I suppose you’re really not going to like this.

one of the best debuts and best genre films of the year
Hereditary
Searching
Cam

Though I keep thinking of Boots Riley and Sorry to Bother You. It's not a film I liked, but he made bold choices as if he'd never get to make another film. Coralie Fargeat made some tweaks to the formula in key places, but largely fell in line with other films of this genre with a heightened color intensity. (I don't see the "audience most likely to consume this sort of genre film" getting the feminist point simply based on the film itself.)

I like the research put into that article. Really good to mention Ms. 45. I wish the Last House remake wasn't lumped in with I Spit on Your Grave. That remake does a surprising job of turning an unpleasant premise with an implausible twist into a well-acted intense thriller. (Until the final 30 seconds.) I like the description of the changes in color, but this...

Quote
Rather than seeking to establish a broad palatability for her protagonist, Fargeat baits a certain segment of audience with a character who, according to those traditional norms, “has it coming.”  But as the #MeToo movement has made abundantly clear, nobody has it coming.  Period.

Consistent with the movement’s call for a heightened consciousness based on shared experience, Fargeat chooses to initiate the chain of events that define this genre with some rather common interactions.

Here is my problem. Based purely on what's on the screen, how is this different from any other rape/revenge movie. Now, I'll step back and say that 'yes' I've seen and written about poorly made R&R films that are to preoccupied in the Rape for sexual titillation (icky) and Revenge for violent gratification, but there are just as many that do understand the first act is meant to fuel the second. Fargeat is a female director and her film is coming out after #MeToo, but what happens on screen before it all goes to Hell is indistinguishable in tone and content from either version of Last House on the Left. Back in 1981, the heroine of Ms. 45 is raped twice in quick succession and there's never a suggestion that she had it coming. The male director made the decision to show no nudity because he felt he didn't need it to fuel her mental breakdown and need for revenge.
