WrathOfHan Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Lebowski and No Country were below Fargo in 2016. I’m gettting a feeling the latter might not make it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Number 71 Get Out (2017) Universal Pictures, Directed by Jordan Peele (52 Points, 17 Votes) "If I could, I would have voted for Obama for a third term." Top 10 Placements: 1 Top 25 Placements: 5 Previous Rankings: NEW Awards Count: Won 1 Oscar, Nominated for Best Picture Tomatometer: 99% (8.3 Avg Rating) Critic Opinion: "Mr. Peele is best known for his work with Keegan-Michael Key on their titular comedy sketch show, where politics mixed freely with the laughs. Together they starred in the 2016 comedy “Keanu,” a lampoon of action cinema that was a (slack) piece with the movie love that was a mainstay of their show. In one memorable bit from the show, heckling cinephiles voice their complaints (“this movie has an inconsistent visual language!”); in another, two friends realize that the reason the zombie hordes aren’t attacking them is they’re flesh-eating racists. “Get Out” expands on, and considerably deepens, a similar idea by turning white racism into disquieting genre shivers." - Manohla Dargis User Opinion: "Masterful blend of satire and horror. Not sure what else to say, because the satire of race relations is so insightful." - @cannastop "It's brilliant how after reflecting about the movie all the details you experienced on surface level work on a whole upper level of social commentary about racial politics, you realize how Jordan Peele really thought out and framed the narrative to make sense on a subtext level. The "twist" shines a truly unsettling and horrifying light on all the main protagonist's interactions (played by fresh faced newcomer Daniel Kaluuya). The movie felt like the embodiment of that troubling angst black people consciously or unconsciously experience while navigating their environment in a black skin inside the western world in which your appearance can ankwardly taint, impact and dictate your interactions (and ultimately your whole life) at a minute notice. But the devastating truth is that insidious ankwardness is a thinly veiled sneaky paradigm actually rooted in hard boiled prejudice that can trigger its ugly head exploding back into your face. (As a black guy born and bred in Europe, I can certainly relate to that experience)." - @dashrendar44 Commentary: The third movie on our list to come out of 2017, however this is one that I definitely believe will remain to be seen as a classic by cinephiles for years to come. It is just weird enough to be unique, yet just normal enough to appeal to a mass audience. Get Out offers poignant social commentary, along with an involved story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and awkwardly laughing at some of the films more disturbing moments. Get Out manages to take racism, and make it a horror villain.

Empire Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Glad Get Out made the list. Only movie from last year on my list. I only considered movies that had been out at least a year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I think Get Out will end up as one of those films that 40 years from now (when hopefully the racist issues are a thing of the past) young kids will look at and be like WTF? Its a razor sharp script though and a great debut from Mr Peele. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The last few films that have shown-up on the list are superb. Psycho was #6 on my list. Just a great movie, that hasn't lost its staying power at all. Hopefully my highest ranked Hitchcock film (Vertigo), shows up this list as well. It was #61 last time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
