It is impossible to dispute the fact that 2017 has been an amazing year for movie lovers. As a matter of fact, some of the movies that we’ve seen so far can only be described as outstanding.
Here are our best five movies for the year 2017, so far
1. Get Out
Released: February 24
Cast
Daniel Kaluuya
Allison Williams
Catherine Keener
Bradley Whitford
Director: Jordan Peele
About the movie
From my point of view, the storyline of Get Out is classic enough to make the list of 2017 best movies.
In the movie, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams), have reached the stage of meeting the parents. She invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean.
At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could never have imagined.
Get Out is a classic. A movie to watch
2. I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore
Released: February 17
Cast
Melanie Lynskey
Elijah Wood
David Yow
Jane Levy
Director: Macon Blair
About the movie
Ruth (Lynskey), a nurse, and her rattail-sporting, weapon-obsessed neighbor Tony (Wood) hunt down a local burglar, in this maniacal mystery.
Blair’s not the first person to find existential enlightenment at the end of an amateur detective tale, but he might be the first to piece one together from cursing octogenarians, ninja stars, Google montages, gallons of Big Red soda, upper-deckers, friendly raccoons, exploding body parts, and the idiocy of humanity.
Balancing the tension of a Cormac McCarthy thriller with the wacky edge of Will Ferrell’s wildest comedies, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore is a cathartic neo-noir that drives donuts around our everyday troubles.
3. The Lost City of Z
Released: April 14
Cast
Charlie Hunnam
Robert Pattinson
Sienna Miller
Tom Holland
Director: James Gray
About the movie
The Lost City of Z is the rare film to channel nature’s bewitching powers. Hunnam, rousing and physical, stars as Percy, a turn-of-the-20th-century military man who embarks to South America to map Bolivia and cleanse his family name of scandal.
Months of starvation, illness, piranha-infested waters and encounters with natives end with the near-discovery of a hidden, advanced civilization.
Gray makes room for court scenes, WWI battles, tender family drama, and a musical score that can stand alone.
But in the end, the verdant unknown of Amazonia that has its way with Fawcett and our senses, reflecting a profound component of human nature.
4. Logan
Released: March 3
Cast
Hugh Jackman
Patrick Stewart
Dafne Keen
Boyd Holbrook
Director: James Mangold
About the movie
According to the storyline, the members (Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup) of the colony ship Covenant are bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, but somehow, they discover what they think to be an uncharted paradise.
While there, they meet David (Michael Fassbender), the synthetic survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
The mysterious world soon turns dark and dangerous when a hostile alien life-form forces the crew into a deadly fight for survival.
5. Wonder Woman
