List: Top 5 Scenes of 2018

This week on Episode 307 of the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed our the best movie scenes of 2018. Of all the year end Top lists we do, this one is always the most difficult, but it’s also the most rewarding. These are the moments that moved us the most, were the most thought-provoking and will come to define 2018 in film. There are countless individual scenes that could qualify for this list, especially given how deep and consistent the year was overall, but that’s what makes this list exciting in the end. Given that there are so many to choose from, the scenes that do make our list carry a lot of weight with us. That said, here are our lists:
