It’s that time of year again and once again I’ve compiled what I feel are the ten best movies I managed to see this year. Note: some may be older than 2017.
10.
Your Name

‘A beautifully animated, heart-warming, emotional and funny body-swap drama’
9.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

‘Pure escapist entertainment at it’s finest. Luc Besson is back’
8.
Wonder Woman

‘DC gets it right and one of the most purely enjoyable comic-book movies in years’
7.
War for the Planet of the Apes

‘Full of heart and emotion and spectacle. The most satisfying rebooted franchise ever’
6.
Annabelle Creation

‘Atmosphere, well-judged scares and solid performances make for a surprising sequel’
5.
Nocturnal Animals

‘Cleverly structured and powerful relationship drama with excellent performances’
4.
Gerald’s Game

‘A Stephen King adaptation that does a great deal with a very simple premise’
3.
Train to Busan

‘Korean genre cinema at it’s finest. Action, thrills and a surprising amount of heart’
2.
Hacksaw Ridge

‘A powerful true story with expert direction and great performances’
1.
Logan

‘An incredibly effective take on a familiar character turned into a road movie with powerful performances and genuine grit … and Hugh Jackman deserves an Oscar’
