Um, no. Last time I checked Jussie Smollett was public enemy #1. But if you want to declare yourself public enemy #2, have fun.

All well and good. My point was Netflix made Roma so easy to see, less-passionate fans watched it as well. Same with Buster Scruggs and obviously OSotW. And I believe those movies got a minor bump in points as a result. Not a huge bump that drastically improved their rankings, but a noticeable bump. I'll put it this way. Imagine if those movies were not released on Netflix. Would every participant who put those films on their lists have seen them? It's impossible to determine, but my guess is somebody might have missed them.
Hayden, nice takedown of Bohemian Rhapsody  I refuse to watch that movie because it looks like shit, and all of my fellow movie peers who saw it, confirmed that it was shit.

My point was that OSotW is a special case, because it's a trial to watch and only more passionate fans of cinema would sit all the way through that Frankenstein patchwork of varied quality footage and unmatched shots reconstructed by several other people 30 years after Welles' death. But anyway, I've made my point and will now let it go.

Netflix isn't an alternative to the theater to me; it's basically another form of home video. I've used numerous streaming services in the last month and watched quite a few Blurays. |
You were able to make a 50-film list and that's an achievement however you saw them. I only saw four 2018 films theatrically. Don't go to the movies as much as I used to -- I'm older than most of you guys. I too used a patchwork of services including Amazon Prime, Netflix, HBO, Hulu (easy to get free month trials from them) and other means. For instance I got a free week trial of the Shudder channel add-on on Amazon just to watch Mandy.
