15 Most Paused Movie Moments Of 2018

8. Denzel Washington's "Cameo" - Game Night

Game Night might well be the biggest surprise of the year outside of Bumblebee being legitimately excellent. It was as entertaining as it was thoroughly unexpected with a comedy set-up that could have seen it go the same forgettable way as Date Night.

Thanks to an excellent cast and great writing, that wasn't the case and we got to see some of the best character inter-play of the year. One of the best parts of that was seeing Lamorne Morris' Kevin haunted by his wife Michelle's (Kylie Bunbury) past sex with a celebrity to the point that he won't let it drop.

Eventually, Michelle admits that her dalliance was with Denzel Washington and we see a flashback of the moment, only to find that it isn't Denzel at all - it's Malcolm Hughes' lookalike, credited as "Not Denzel" rather wonderfully. The likeness is great but not quite right and it takes a pause to really appreciate it.
