Out of the 5 others, I thought A Star is Born is not my cup of tea, although I know people who love it, and Black Panther is well made, but still comic book superheroes. Blackkklansman was surprisingly good, but not something I will rewatch.
For me it would be between the very different Roma and The Favourite. Roma hearkens back to classic film making, and very much Fellini or Bergman brought to Mexico. I liked pretty much everything about it, and wish I'd seen it on a big screen instead of a TV.
But if I had to choose, it'd be the Favourite. Audacious, hilariously over the top, from costumes to set design, to the deeply amoral goings on in the castle, this was a wild ride like no other movie I've seen before. I doubt it will win, but I'd be happy to see it do so.
