Top 10 Best Films of 2017
10. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
From it's well written characters to its hilariously oddball premise, this brilliant film is elevated by the pitch perfect performances of Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, and Sam Rockwell.

9. Brigsby Bear
This is probably the most unique film to come out this year, with its strange premise and optimistic execution, its a beautiful story about creativity and how we move on from past trauma.
|
8. The Book of Henry
If you don't understand this movie, there's something in life you haven't figured out yet. This is a beautiful film about dealing with grief and how we can help others who are in pain.
|
7. It
Forgetting everything that makes a studio horror film (in the best possible way), the new adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel exceeds all of my expectations and becomes a modern horror masterpiece.
|
6. The Greatest Showman
With the greatest cast, the greatest sets, and especially the greatest soundtrack, this musical marvel lives up to its own name.
|
5. mother!
This one is not for the faint-hearted or the close-minded, but if you are willing to examine the mayhem happening in front of you, it's one hell of a ride.
|
4. It Comes at Night
Director Trey Edward Shults masters the true feeling of dread with his first horror film, creating a deeply effecting psychological treat that left me completely speechless.
|
3. The Disaster Artist
Never have I seen a pair of actors that filled me with so much happiness more than the Franco Brothers as real life best friend Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero. Funny and heartbreaking all at the same time, this movie tells its true story with so much heart.

2. Wonder
The cast was perfect, the script was perfect, and its adaptation of the novel was perfect. If there's a movie you want to show your kids to teach them about the harsh realities of bullying, this is it.
|
1. A Ghost Story
Director David Lowery's masterpiece is like a living painting, full of beauty and mystery, with a main character that feels real even though its just an image in front of you. If you haven't seen this one yet, see it now.
