critically revered and popular movies
ever released by the great independent
distributor a 24 we’re focusing solely
on fictional movies so documentaries
will not be included no matter how great
amy was number 10 good time we think
good time was definitely one of the
better movies of 2017 it stars Robert
Pattinson in a very respectable turn as
bank robber Connie NICUs who tries to
evade the law and bail his brother out
of prison only things don’t go smoothly
and Connie digs himself into deeper and
deeper trouble he leaves a long please
the movie is terrifically tense
throughout the entirety of its
high-energy 90 odd minutes and Robert
Pattinson gives the performance of his
career as a charismatic quasi sociopath
on the run good time successfully puts
its viewers into the headspace of its
protagonists and it is not a nice place
to be don’t be confused it’s just gonna
make it worse for me number 9 the witch
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
8:24 horror movies have the ability to
Wow cases in point 2017 it comes at
night and particularly 2015’s the witch
both are critically acclaimed and
unrelentingly creepy the witch is a
bewitching movie sorry about a banished
Puritan family whose seemingly haunted
by an unseen force in the nearby woods
like good time this movie isn’t as
concerned with story as it is with
powerfully immersing viewers in its
universe which is nothing but pure
paranoia for 90 minutes and you’d be
hard-pressed to find a movie that more
successfully evokes pure dread and
helplessness we will conquer this
wilderness it will not consume us
number eight the florida project the
florida project is undoubtedly one of a
24 successes it was nominated for an
Academy Award and is in the high 90s on
Rotten Tomatoes and for good reason
while the story of an impoverished
family living in a motel in Orlando in
the shadow of Disney world may not sound
like much maybe even a little cliche the
story is told with exquisite empathy and
detail but they feel bad for her she’s
about to cry thank you now he’s telling
you about Terry about to cry child actor
Brooklyn Prince gives a fantastic
performance as six-year-old Mooney and
the characters including Willem Dafoe as
a caring motel manager are all
it’s Mountain inside to number seven
Spring Breakers we wanted to get away
we’re fine we’re safe Spring Breakers is
the one that got a twenty fours name out
there directed by Harmony Korine follows
a gaggle of yes Spring Breakers
including the previously squeaky-clean
Selena Gomez descending into a world of
drugs and violence like a lot of 8:24
films Spring Breakers is stylish as hell
full of neon colors a terrific use of
music and James Franco hamming it up as
a grilled gangster rapper it’s a unique
mix of party fun and heavy crime story
and it provides one of the most original
number six under the skin under the skin
stars megastar Scarlett Johansson but it
was certainly not meant for mainstream
audiences Johansson stars as an alien
who takes on a human woman’s appearance
to lure and prey on men however this is
not a typical invasion movie it’s again
more of an immersive experience than a
coherent story the movie is rife with
symbolism and is a probing look at such
heavy topics as sexism and gender roles
it’s not light entertainment but it is
distinctive and unapologetic maybe that
explains why it failed at the box office
number five the lobster would you like
to dance
filmmaker your ghost lent a mouse and a
24 are a match made in heaven
they first made waves in 2015 with the
especially weird the lobster and again
in 2017 with the equally odd the killing
of a sacred deer
the lobster star is an absolutely
brilliant Colin Farrell as a man who
must find a romantic partner within 45
days or face being turned into an animal
now have you thought of what animal
you’d like to be if you end up alone yes
a lobster the movie is unapologetically
odd yet its distinct weirdness is what
makes it so appealing it’s also a biting
satire of society’s seemingly
never-ending need for relationships and
bubbly stories of love it’s no
coincidence of the targets of shaped
like single people and not couples
number four room take your vitamin last
one this is undoubtedly one of a 24s
best and most popular movies well it
wasn’t a huge hit at the box office it
made significant waves in critical
circles due to the raw performances of
brie Larson and breakout child star
Jacob Tremblay there’s room thin outer
space this holds a TV print the movie is
a brilliant mix of suspenseful survival
story and heartfelt examination of
parental love and while this epic of
captivity certainly doesn’t make for
easy viewing it is immensely rewarding
an intimate few movies so successfully
captured the unrestricted love a parent
has for their child and room despite its
persistent bleakness is a beautiful
story of love and unbreakable familial
bonds number three ex machina do you
have a name
[Music]
yes Ava if spring breakers put a 24 on
the map ex machina vaulted them into the
mainstream the movie stars domhnall
gleeson as Caleb Smith a programmer
who’s invited to his boss’s secluded
mansion to give the Turing test to a
sophisticated AI played to perfection by
Alicia vikander I don’t know the answer
to your question it’s not up to me why
is it up to anyone like most great
movies and works of literature ex
machina raises big questions about
modern life while still boasting a well
told story full of interesting
characters excitement and drama it’s
also somewhat of a rarity remaining
highly sophisticated and intelligent
without being pretentious ex machina is
sci-fi done right you shouldn’t trust
him you shouldn’t trust anything he says
number 2 ladybird I hate California I
want to go to the East Coast like the
Florida Project ladybird is a fantastic
example of quality filmmaking elevating
an everyday concept the story is nothing
new a high school girl comes of age and
must deal with a seemingly problematic
and overbearing mother you know with
your work ethic just go to City College
and then to jail and then back to City
College and then maybe you’d learn to
pull yourself up but what makes lady
birds so fantastic is its construction
and execution the script is wonderfully
human and relatable and the characters
are finely detailed Greta Gerwig also
directs her script with a masterful
natural eye ladybird is undoubtedly a
coming-of-age classic in a crowded field
I just I wish that you liked me of
but do you like me before we unveil our

mentions

infamous Best Picture fiasco because
Moon Lake deserves acknowledgement as
one of the best films of the 2010s
throughout this coming-of-age story yes
another one
we follow the often harrowing life
travails of shyrone from troubled
upbringing to adulthood should I cry so
much sometimes I feel like I’m into
drugs and while the movie explores the
many challenges and dangers of growing
up gay black and poor in Miami moonlight
