Top 10 Movies of 201810 of 10
1. Avengers: Infinity War
Other films may have been more revolutionary or relatable, but no film was bigger, bolder, or more blockbuster-y than Infinity War. From its opening-weekend haul — $258 million domestic, the biggest ever — and its all-star ensemble cast to the high-stakes storyline and game-changing final scene, it was a movie that doubled as a genuine pop-culture moment (we're still trying to figure out if Thanos is hot). Anything less would've been a disappointment; after all, we've been building to said moment since the release of Iron Man in 2008. And despite all the anticipation, Infinity War still left us wanting more, clearing the stage and piling on a post-credit tease for the ages. Tasked with satisfying generational expectations and carrying the weight of an entire Cinematic Universe, Infinity War succeeded in spades. Name another movie that did all that. We'll wait.
