A lot of good movies came out this year, and if you are like me, you might not have the time or budget to go see them all. So I have made a list of my favorite five films that came out this year to narrow it down for you. Have fun binge-watching, and just in time for the holidays! My list, in no particular order...

1. "Baby Driver" (dir. Edgar Wright).

Summary: "Baby Driver" follows an incredible getaway driver (played by Ansel Elgort) who relies on the beat of his music to help him drive. After paying off a depth and meeting the girl of his dreams, he plans to make a clean getaway, although it's easier said than done.

2. "Dunkirk" (dir. Christopher Nolan).

Summary: In May 1940, Germany invaded France and trapped allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. In this film, you get to see the experiences of three different people: a mole within the span of a week, someone on a boat during a day, and someone in the air for only an hour. The soundtrack and the overall ambiance of this film are captivating; this is a must-see.

3. "Wonder Woman" (dir. Patty Jenkins).

Summary: Diana was raised to become a warrior and princess on a sheltered island in the Amazons. The fate of the world is threatened and Diana takes it upon herself to save it. Fighting side-by-side with men in the middle of a brutal war, Diana learns more about herself than she ever thought she would.

4. "Get Out" (dir. Jordan Peel).

Summary: Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached a point in their relationship — time to meet the parents. While staying with them for a weekend up-state, strange things start to happen, and it all comes back to one thing: this family. This film really surprised me, highly recommend!

5. The Big Sick (dir. Michael Showalter).

Summary: Kumail is a Pakistani comedian who meets Emily at one of his stand-up shows. Their unexpected relationship gets more serious than either of them thought and Kumail starts to get concerned about what his very traditional Muslim parents will think of their relationship. I don't want to summarize too much here because I don't want to give too much away, but you should really see this film. There are so many elements involved in this movie that will make you laugh, cry, and cringe.
