Top 13 Films of 2017
2017 was a really good year for film, like incredibly good, even though I still haven’t seen all of em I think I’ll provide a pretty decent list here. 1. Logan - So I couldn’t speak when I came out of the cinema so... can’t believe the entire mutant race died and all Logan could do was make sure the last few kids had somewhere safe to live. Seriously it’s not feasible to bring back a species with so few people and the anti mutant serum out there. 2. Get Out - Didn’t expect such a cleaver and twisted modern Twillight Zonelike film, bravo Jorden Peele. 3. Okja - Such a gritty remake of Babe Pig in the City, I like all the parables to organic foods XD and the consumerism consuming all parts of society even marriage is comodisised into a expensive Gold Pig. 4. Mudbound - Sure there might be an anti-ideological state apparatus message, but I still like it, cinematography, performances the nyce people involved! 5. Florida Project - How can I not feel emotionally involved in a film that feels so real and reflects so much of the poverty upbringing, and the performances! 6. Batman & Bill Documentary - That documentary got emotionally gut wrenching and made Batman even more of a mystery in real life, must watch if you are a real Batman fan. 7. War for the Planet of the Apes - Ceasar’s tale ends in this trilogy, Andy Serkis needs a nomination. 8. Goodbye Christopher Robin - Anything with winnie-the-pooh has my undivided attention since I got such a high mark for it in my dissertation, so when the performances were so strong I have such feels. 9. Thor - I admit I am totally biased in this one, since I met Jeff Goldblum by accident and he made me laugh so much during Thor Press and Taika films are always so good and the rewatch value of this is so effective no contest. 10. Ingrid Goes West - It’s not as much as it is emotional as it is cleaver. The roles of social media and defining an identity based on a social media success rate, is dark, funny and put you rooting for someone in it. It’s a very manipulative film. 12. Silence - The editing alone deserves an Oscar and I find I really like religious films for some reason, although I probably am not seeing it as Scorsese wants me to see it. One religion being used as a foundation of control in a society violently rejecting another, a tale as old as time. 13. Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond Documentary - Jim Carrey as he slowly falls into madness becoming the role of Andy Kauffman, acting like him on set, with his family and the experience everyone had to deal with him, it’s a good view on acting and method.
Special mentions Limehouse Golem, The Big Sick, Blade of the Immortal I still haven't watched Wind River, Coco, Phantom Thread, Dunkirk, Shape of Water or Kedi
