For our tenth year, members of the Flickcharters Facebook group have voted in a number of categories to create The Flickcharters’ Choice Awards. Our previous winners have been Drive, Django Unchained, Gravity, Guardians of the Galaxy, Mad Max: Fury Road, La La Land, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Baby Driver, and A Quiet Place. Last year’s winner, Parasite, ended up winning more awards than any other film in our nine-year history.
