1998 Year in Review
There were few outstanding films in 1998, although there were quite a few good ones that made it
a decent year. As always, it is difficult to narrow them down to 10, so I've included my top 20 instead.
Films that opened in 1997, but were released in 1998, such as Wag The Dog, The Boxer and
The Apostle were considered for last year's list, and not placed on this year's list. I've also
listed some of my favourite performances this year in several categories.
