Film Comment’s annual end-of-year survey was revealed today with Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood taking the top spots among films released in 2019.

The nearly 100 poll participants are all Film Comment contributors from the past year and include Ina Diane Archer (The Smithsonian), Ela Bittencourt (Brazil-based programmer), Andrew Chan (The Criterion Collection), Ashley Clark (BAMcinématek), Nick Davis (FC contributing editor, Northwestern University), Molly Haskell, J. Hoberman (The New York Times), Eric Hynes (Museum of the Moving Image curator), Nellie Killian (programmer and FC contributing editor), Michael Koresky (Reverse Shot editor), Dennis Lim (Film at Lincoln Center), Christina Newland, Sheila O’Malley (RogerEbert.com), Andréa Picard (Toronto International Film Festival), Nick Pinkerton, Jonathan Romney (FC contributing editor), Sukhdev Sandu (New York University), Imogen Sara Smith (FC columnist), Amy Taubin (FC and Artforum contributing editor), Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan (curator and critic), Wang Muyan (The Paper [China]), and Manu Yáñez Murillo (Otros Cines Europa).
The top 10 films of 2019 were unveiled last night at a special live talk with critics Devika Girish, Michael Koresky, Soraya Nadia McDonald, and Amy Taubin, moderated by Film Comment Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold; listen to the lively discussion on this week’s Film Comment podcast. The complete lists of released and unreleased films are included below.
“It’s a special treat to see Parasite, which was the cover of Film Comment’s September/October issue, reach the top of our Best Films of 2019 poll!” said Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold. “We’re proud to have supported the art and craft of the year’s greatest films through the outstanding writing and experienced voices that the movie-loving readers of Film Comment have come to expect and trust.

  4. On the website, information in your account keeps track of what movies you've seen and what movies you'd like to see next. When you have watched your movie, just send it back in the mail. The next one on your list will go out automatically once the last one has been received. putlockers
