Best films of the year<br />
By David Makale na<br />
Starting off our ‘Best of Year’ lists is <strong>The</strong> <strong>Inkling</strong>’s top 10 favourite films of 2017.<br />
This year has been an interesting one for films, with significant flops from<br />
blockbuster giants - such as Transformers and <strong>The</strong> Mummy - whilst the smaller<br />
indie films have risen above expectations and garnered lots of profit - like Get Out<br />
or <strong>The</strong> Big Sick. Let’s see if these have affected any of our positions - probably<br />
not.<br />
1) ‘Beauty and the Beast’<br />
So Soham Village College’s favourite film of the year is ‘Beauty and the Beast’ - at<br />
least that’s what the members of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Inkling</strong> voted for. I mean, back in March it<br />
was all everybody was talking about. Belle! Gaston! Lumiere! All of them were<br />
fantastic and it deserves the top spot on our list more than any other.<br />
Congratulations ‘Beauty and the Beast’ for this prestigious award; it’s worth more<br />
than the MTV Award it was awarded or the billion dollars it made at the box office.<br />
Well done!<br />
2) ‘Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2’<br />
Our second place goes to ‘Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2’, the highly anticipated<br />
sequel to the worldwide blockbuster that was ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. This film<br />
brought our favourite characters back to the big screen for a second serving of<br />
intergalactic goodness. It was funny; it was awesome; it was a great time.<br />
Guardians was not the only Marvel movie to be released this year, but, according<br />
to our voters, it is the best. Judging by the comedy, action and magnificent<br />
spectacle, it is extremely deserving of the penultimate spot.<br />
3) ‘La La Land’<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hollywood musical that wowed audiences right back in January stayed strong<br />
all year and glided gracefully into third place on our list of winners. At the Oscars,<br />
Emma Stone won Best Actress, Damien Chazelle won for his directing and the film<br />
itself got Best Picture…. sort of. Despite the infamous mix-up, ‘La La Land’ still<br />
achieved great success in awards season and all of the hype followed through to<br />
the cinema where it amazed audiences all over the world.<br />
4) ‘Paddington 2’<br />
Our fourth favourite film of the year - just missing out on the top three - is family<br />
favourite ‘Paddington 2’. This feel-good picture is a great film to watch whenever<br />
because when you finish watching it, you will no doubt have a smile on your face<br />
and a warm heart. ‘Paddington 2’ is one of the best British films in years, and has<br />
been widely praised by critics and audiences alike.<br />
5) ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’<br />
After his successful debut in ‘Captain America: Civil War’ last year, Spider-Man’s<br />
first solo outing was a very different take on the fan-favourite superhero. Not only<br />
was it not an origin movie like the majority of the previous Spider-Man movies, but<br />
it also focused on Peter Parker’s teenage life and high school drama. It was a<br />
great time and fun to watch, so it deserves fifth place on our list.
