Best movies of 2018 according to Chris Stuckmann from youtube.

The Arts & Faith's Top 100 Films (previously known as the 100 most spiritually significant films) list has been selected by the Arts & Faith members, which is dedicated to the combination of art and faith.

2020 update added a new restriction of one film per director, but other films that would have made the list without that restriction can be seen in the subtitle for each main entry in the source.
