TOP 10: Movies
IMDB rating: 7.7
The original mini-series from 1990 was extremely popular and engraved in memory of many of the kids of that generation. So it's no surprise that they are the same kids, but also the fans of Stephen King's opus, barely welcomed this year's remake.
The story of the monstrous clown Pennywise who terrorizes and kills the little towns of Derry is well known to all, but even the most powerful fans could not hope that the remakes will be so successful. In less than a month since its launch, the New It has earned an incredible $ 478 million, and this figure has soared to 698 million, making it a horror with the best earnings ever.
Major successes of this success are directed by Andy Muschietti and Bill Skarsgård, who this time incorporated Pennywise. Given the impressive earnings, it is no surprise that a sequel has already been announced, which would be scheduled for September 6, 2019 in theaters.
9. STAR WARS: THE LAST EAT
IMDB rating: 7.7
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is probably the most anticipated movie this year. The eighth episode of the Star Wars series was directed by Rian Johnson and obviously he did a great job. Only on the first weekend of the show, The Last Jedi earned more than $ 220 million, making it the second-highest earning in its first weekend in history. It almost collapsed the record that still holds Star Wars: Force Awakens.
In the second part of the third trilogy, Rey (Daisy Ridley) is developing his newly discovered powers of manipulation by Silom with the help of Luke Hammull. At the same time, the resistance movement led by Poeom Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega) is preparing for a bargain with First Order and his leader, Kylo Reno (Adam Driver).
The film will surely remain memorable among fans, if for nothing else, then because The Last Jedi is the last role Carrie Fisher. New research has shown that it is precisely her princess Leia who is the most liked figure among Star Wars fans.
8. WIND RIVER
IMDB rating: 7.8
Wind River is a tense thriller that monitors newly-born FBI agent Natalie (Elizabeth Olsen) at one of her first tasks in a remote and inaccessible Indian reservation. There he is merging with the hunter and traitor, Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner), who is very closely associated with the local Indian population, but is struggling with conscience because of the turbulent past.
Together they try to solve the case of a murdered girl in an Indian reservation. For Cory, this case has additional significance, and through work on it, he tries to redeem himself for past events for which he feels guilty, and which led to the tragedy.
The film was directed by Taylor Sheridan, which many will recognize for roles in the series, among which is probably the most famous sheriff in the hit series Sons of Anarchy. Sheridan also wrote a Wind River script. He is also the script writer for the acclaimed Sicario, and his script for Hell or High Water has provided him with an Oscar nomination.
7. BABY DRIVER
IMDB rating: 7.8
Baby Driver has so far been the greatest hit of British director Edgar Wright, who has so far entertained us with several great action comedies such as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World.
Ansel Elgort plays a kid who has hearing problems, but he still enjoys music. She mostly helps him in his profession, working as a driver for the band of bank robbers, who best drives when they get rich with good music. Of course, this means that the movie is filled with an excellent soundtrack.
In addition to Elgott, Kevin Spacey has been a great feature in the film, and Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm are also prominent.
6. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2
IMDB rating: 7.8
The first part of the Guardians of the Galaxy was unexpectedly fun, and by the way, Chris Pratt was put on one of the most popular and action-packed action stars (two years ago he starred in Jurassic World, which in the meantime became the fourth-highest-grossing film in history).
Just like in the Baby Driver, an excellent soundtrack is one of the main features of the film, with the Guardians playing on a sentimental note with successes from the '80s. The same trend continues in the second part, Star-Lord (Pratt) still listening to music from the cassette while trying to find out who his parents are.
Apart from Pratt, Zoe Saldana is also featured as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Bradley Cooper, who lends the voice to the animated rocket Rocket, and Vin Diesel as Baby Groot. In addition they have reinforcement, joined by Sylvester Stallone in the role of Glass Ogorda, and his old partner from Tango & Cash Kurt Russell, who plays Ego.
5. THOR: RAGNAROK
IMDB rating: 8.1
New Zealand director Taika Waititi introduced us with her unusual, but also charming humor in her films What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt For The Wilderpeople. The director of the new Thor was his biggest and most serious task in his career, and he himself admitted that he was a little scared by such a large production. But it did not discourage him from spitting Thora with her recognizable humor.
4. LOGAN
IMDB rating: 8.2
The latest movie in the X-Men franchise is completely different from what we have seen so far in this film series. So far we are used to seeing X-Men as indestructible superheroes, but this time we are getting to know Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Professor X (Patrick Stewart) as elderly and battered heroes who already have a lot of beatings.
Wolverine is in this film only tired Logan, who takes care of sick Professor X in a remote place somewhere on the border with Mexico, where he tries to live a normal life, earning as a driver. The year is 2029 and it seems that the mutants have disappeared from the world and that the past is behind them.
But they will be found to be wrong, because they find a mysterious woman who gives them the task of protecting an unusual girl. James Mangold's film is the latest in the old X-Men's canon with Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart. The new series was successfully downloaded by James McAvoy as Professor X and Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and the new sequel X-Men: Dark Phoenix was announced for November 2, 2018.
3. DUNKIRK
IMDB rating: 8.2
Dunkirk is the first film by director Christopher Nolan who recorded it according to a true event. So far, only success has been set, among which are the Inception and the Dark Knight trilogy, and Dunkirk is no lagging behind them. He faithfully displayed the drama of allied soldiers waiting for salvation on the coast of the English Channel in Dunkirk, which was in the full surroundings of the German forces.
The film is pretty sketchy with dialogues and event descriptions, the reason is that Nolan wanted to place the viewer at the center of the action and try to convey the feeling of how it really was to be there. He counted on the viewers to identify themselves with characters based on visual experience.
And it succeeds in this, not only with the scenes of bombing Allied soldiers, but primarily with the character of Tom Hardy, the Spitfire pilot caught in the aerial battle over Dunkirk. These scenes of aerial combat are one of the most convincing and most realistic ones ever recorded, and for the needs of shooting, instead of real planes, they have very skillfully used remote control models.
2. BLADE RUNNER 2049
IMDB rating: 8.4
The sequel to the cult SF classic of Ridley Scott from 1982 was greeted with a lot of expectations, but also a lot of anxiety. The fans of the original Blade Runner were afraid that the sequel could not reach the quality and atmosphere of Scott's masterpiece of the genre.
But director Denis Villeneuve showed that he shared a similar vision with Ridley Scott. His Blade Runner 2049 perfectly replicated the atmosphere of the original and can certainly be regarded as a full-blown sequel, although the first movie has passed for 35 years. He had far easier work than Scott, since today's special effects are incomparably more advanced than those with Scott in his time, but not all in the effects.
Villeneuve proved to be a very skilled director with a vivid feeling of how to convey the continuation of the story to the film. Of course, one of the bait for viewers and fans of the original film was the fact that Harrison Ford came back as Rick Deckard.
1. COCO
IMDB rating: 8.8
Perhaps many will be unbelievable, but it's really true; The best-rated movie that was voted by more than 30,000 IMDB users is Pixar's new animated film Coco. He was directed by Lee Unkrich, director of the latest film in the Toy Story series.
Unkrich has been fascinated by the Mexican culture for many years, and especially fascinated by their festival Día de Muertos, The Day of the Dead, which is a kind of counterpart to our All Saints. But the Mexicans celebrate him with much more music and joy, which Unkrich inspired for this animated musical story.
The story follows the boy, Anthony Gonzales, who wants to become a music star like his idol Ernest de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt), although his family has forbidden any kind of music for generations. By the split of circumstances, Miguel finds himself in the Land of the Dead in search of his great-grandfather, who was once a legendary singer.
Director Unkrich has been working on this film since 2011. In order to communicate more faithfully to local culture, he traveled to Mexico where he documented the customs of the population for months. Trud has yielded fruit because Coco has already earned nearly $ 455 million in just one month. It should also be noted that he is in the competition for Oscar for the best animated film.
