Like last year, D//E presents its film related lists with an indie-oriented approach, focusing more on the underground where the level of quality is usually higher.
One of the finest contemporary film composers passed this year, but not before he left behind 2018's most imposing score from one of the year's finest and weirdest movies, topped on our list only by a gruesome, exciting film that marks one of the best moments in the career of its veteran, provocateur director. The year's top documentary is a punk must-see, an enjoyable chronicle of an artist who is naturally one of the most beloved, significant figures in the history of rock music.
Here are the 10 films, 10 film scores and 5 documentaries of 2018 that didn't suck.
