New Year's Eve might not play out like the movies this year (or maybe it will), but that doesn't mean movies shouldn't be on your mind as 2018 comes to a close.

With so many major blockbusters stealing the show this year, it's hard to fathom how 2019's upcoming flicks can beat them or outshine them in any way. Think about it, Black Panther came out in 2018...need we say more?

In addition to this killer Marvel film there were a ton of other box office hits that premiered this year and we're still talking about a ton of them.

From early 2018 releases like Black Panther, which hit theaters in February, to brand new releases like Mary Poppins Returns, which has only been playing for a week, this year packed quite the punch when it came to amazing stories being told through film.

When Debbie Ocean (Bullock) hatches a plan attempt to steal very expensive jewels from New York City's Met Gala she employs a fierce girl squad played by stars including, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Rihanna and more.

Mary Poppins Returns

Despite being a recent release, Mary Poppins Returns is already a standout movie for all of 2018. The Disney film starring Emily Blunt shows Marry Poppins return to the Banks' family decades after her original visit because all of the siblings and Michael's children in particular are in need of her magical nanny help once more.

A Star Is Born

Deadpool's sequel is just as sassy and inappropriate as its predecessor and we wouldn't have it any other way. This time, Deadpool AKA Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) teams up with other mutant rogues to protect a young boy who has supernatural abilities and is therefore under attack by Cable (Josh Brolin).

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

10 years after the first Mamma Mia! film hit theaters the gang reunited for this epic musical follow up. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again takes place five years after the events of the first film as Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), now pregnant, prepares to reopen Hotel Bella Donna while learning more about her mother's past through flashbacks featuring Lily James.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Dinosaurs are always a good idea...at least when it comes to the Jurassic World franchise. In this 2018 flick, Chris Pratt's Owen works with Bryce Dallas Howard's Claire to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from extinction after the island they're living on has a volcanic eruption.
