NOTE: Lopate appeared on his brother Leonard's radio show to discuss his favorite films of 2018. About 20 films get mentioned, not all of them positively; the 10 above were either explicitly cited by Leonard as being on Phillip's list or were called "best" and/or "favorite" by Phillip himself. The result may be somewhat arbitrary. But he definitely really likes all of these.
