We are half way through 2017, so what better time than now to look at some of my favorite movies of the year! This list goes to 10 with five honorable mentions!
BABY DRIVER
Shades on, iPod set to shuffle, earbuds in ears. From its opening car chase to its sugary wheelman-meets-waitress romance, Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver hits that movie sweet spot (full review here). Ansel Elgort is the titular protagonist but the cargo he moves doesn’t involve pampers. He’s a wheelman for a nefarious outfit led by Kevin Spacey. Pairing an eclectic songlist that includes Martha & the Vandellas, Queen, Barry White, and David Brubeck among others with notable actors Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm, Baby Driver is one ride you don’t want to stop.
