Love Films? Here Are 2018’s Best Movies According To Malta’s Top Personalities
Some seriously great films came out in 2018, though you might have been too busy to watch them all. However, lucky for us, Malta’s top personalities have been kind enough to share their favourite film from the year.
Here’s your Christmas holidays binge sorted.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Cyrus Engerer, Roberta Metsola, Chris Cardona, Valentina Rossi and Alex Alden
Cyrus Engerer – “Undoubtedly, Bohemian Rhapsody! I think it is the only film I have watched, in which I really considered going to the Box Office to buy another ticket, as I was exiting the cinema to go in and watch again. It really felt as if one was getting really up, close and personal with the real Freddie Mercury, through Rami Malek’s fantastic acting skills. At other times, it felt as if we were at a Queen concert – something I always wanted to do but obviously never got the chance to. I’m still listening to Queen songs everyday in my car.”
Alex Alden – “I really enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody – it was supposed to not be completely factual!”
A Star Is Born
Rosianne Cutajar, Sarah Zerafa, Maxine Pace and Valentina Rossi
Sarah Zerafa – “Let’s just say I went to re-watch it twice at the cinema.. and cried every single time!”
Maxine Pace – “I just watched it, and it’s one of those movies which I would watch over and over.”
Valentina Rossi – “It’s between A Star Is Born and Bohemian Rhapsody – you can’t make me pick just one sorry!
Avengers: Infinity War
Simon Schembri, Chris Fearne and Grandayy
Grandayy – “I liked Moon and Ex Machina, both of which I only watched recently. But my favourite just has to be Avengers Infinity War, so many memes came out of that one!”
Tag
Joseph Muscat
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Chris Fearne
“Two films I’ll mention. I’m a bit of a Marvel’s fan, so Avengers: Infinity War. And then Three Billboards, because although I am Deputy Prime Minister I’m still a bit of a rebel and I love a lost cause!”
The Greatest Showman
Ben Camille
Under The Silver Lake
Ira Losco
“The obvious pick would be A Star Is Born but I really liked how weird Under the Silver Lake was.”
Wonder
Miriam Dalli and Gaia Cauchi
The Shape Of Water
Francis Zammit Dimech
“Sally Hawkins gives a brilliant interpretation of a mute isolated woman working in a high security government laboratory. Top credit also goes to director Guillermo Del Toro who deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Director.”
Mamma Mia II – Here We Go Again
Adrian Delia
David Lynch’s The Art of Life
Alex Alden
Good Morning Vietnam
Jo Caruana
“I hate to admit this, but I haven’t seen anywhere near as many films as I wanted to! I have rewatched some golden oldies though, and the one that comes to mind is Good Morning Vietnam. There’s no one on earth like Robin Williams.”
