My favorite films this year, (so far) ranked

2017 has been a stellar year for film. Coming out strong in January, Get Out wowed critics and fans with its brilliant commentary on race, its humor, and artistic execution. Its permanence as a groundbreaking social thriller can't be stressed enough.

Disney came out swinging with Beauty and the Beast, which despite its mixed reviews still managed to make billions of dollars. The super hero genre has provided some notable offerings that have broken the mold with both Logan and Wonder Woman (and I hear Spiderman: Homecoming, though I haven't watched it yet). Throw Baby Driver into the mix and you have an eclectic mix of fun summer blockbusters. 

We've also had some clever and moving Indie films in The Big Sick, A Ghost Story, and Colossal. For only being halfway through the year, I'm really looking forward to seeing what else is going to surprise and delight at the movies.
