Ok, my apologies to @WrathOfHan, but Mother didn't make the list. Couldn't keep dragging you along waiting for longer. Will post the real #12 now.

 

What a cruel joke from an admin. Go fuck yourself.

Baby Driver

 

 

 

 

Edgar Wright returns to the director's chair after quite some time and delivers a movie which finally crosses over from just the geek audience to more general acceptance. The movie was fun and had good performances by the supporting cast. Personally i felt that Elgort's character was not defined well enough by the performance but luckily everything around the character was top notch. 

 

The movie has an energy to it from the first scene onwards which keeps the movie propelled throughout

I give this movie an A, btw. 9/10 @cannastop

 

Pristine craft and execution. Wright really considered just about everything. It's meticulous in its design and process. Major props especially to the sound design, which might be the best I've seen heard in a long time.

 

The criticisms of the characters are valid. I thought that the presentation of Baby in the early scenes was really good, but there isn't a lot of depth there. Elgort is fine, and James is pretty great, but neither is given anything particularly meaty to work with. The supporting roles, at least, are provided enough to ham it up for some enjoyment. Both Foxx and Hamm are pretty stellar, and Spacey hits the right vibe.

 

Not as many laughs as I'd expect from a Wright film, but there are some really, really good ones. 

 

It's a concept that really wouldn't work in the hands of another director who isn't a much of a perfectionist as Wright but in his hands, the film really does work.

 

4/5

to some, this may be worse than the fake out

Spoiler

Coco

 

 

 

 

From @Fancyarcher

This is really a film that people need to see for themselves. It goes off in directions I didn’t even see coming. It’s a visually animated treat, and features a touching moving story with memorable characters. With Coco, Pixar proves, they’ve still got it.

 

From @The Shape of Pasta

At this point, we are no strangers to Pixar delivering us stories in wonderfully offbeat worlds charged with intense emotion, but COCO is only the latest example in the ways that Pixar can rock what it does best. I was worried going in that it would be a very westernized and somewhat racist look at Dia De Los Muertos, but it is clear to see that Pixar clearly took so much care and heart in representing this story, and with every detail, it shows.

 

The strength of the movie lies in the dynamics of Miguel (who feels like one of the most sincere and well written child protagonists in quite some time) and his family, both living and deceased. Even amidst the jaw dropping visuals of The Land of the Dead, Coco acknowledges the power of love and family, especially in Mexican Culture, And each character feels genuine and concerned. I won’t dive into too much depth here, lest I delve into spoiler territory, but while some of the twists may be predictable, they work all the better to drive these points home.

 

Also, I see your first ten minutes of UP and raise you the last ten minutes of COCO. While arguably not as tragic, I dare you not to tear up in the final encounter between Miguel and Grandma Coco, as Pixar delivers one of its most emotionally beautiful and jaw dropping climaxes ever. This is a movie you’ll truly want to hold in your proud corazon.

Pixar's latest masterpiece may well be their best. It's not a sin for a film to have cliches; the best rework cliches to make something wholly new. We may have seen aspects of Coco before, both in other Pixar films and general storytelling, but never have they come to life in such a cohesive way as this film. Coco tells the most human story of them all, one of a boy who wishes to find his own way in the world and how he finds his family through that. A beautiful film that makes me laugh, cry, and resonates just as strongly on the fifth watch as the first. Absolutely lovely. @Poe Blankeron

Alright if Thor somehow got in over a lot of these MUCH BETTER films then this is a fucked up world

WTF THAT'S SO LOW FOR COCO  

[Ethan Hunt]

I refuse to believe Thor placed higher than Baby Driver 

[B D Joe]

Coco was a lot lower than I thought.  Not enough people must have seen it.

[Fancyarcher]

Too damn low for Coco. Should at least be in the top five. One of my absolute favorite films of the year.

Way too low.

Coco was lower than I expected.

I loved Coco and it's my third favorite Pixar but it doesn't make my top 10 of the year whoops

It made #26, only 0.5 points behind Girls Trip

Now there will be five comic book movies in the top ten.
