20 Best Movies Moments Of 2017
The scenes that made movies worth the watch in 2017.
2017 offered a veritable smorgasbord of movies from big budget blockbusters and low-fi indie hits to thought-provoking sci-fi flicks and genuinely horrifying horror movies. And as great as these movies were as a whole there are certain scenes within that stick out as their most iconic and defining.
Some of the best movie moments of the year are the kind of scenes so beautiful that they demanded a re-watch just to drink it all in one more time. It's just a shame you can't rewind in the cinema...
Others were so effective in their mission to disturb or disgust us that you’d have to pay viewers good money to consider sitting through them again. But that doesn't mean they're any less stunning.
That’s just the beauty of cinema and it’s power to inspire the whole gamut of human emotion be it joy, sadness or abject terror. So, let’s fondly remember 2017 as the year that charmed us with noble sacrifices and adorable super-pigs but also the year that horrified us with killer clowns and pseudo-religious baby cannibalism.
So, yeah, thanks 2017. Thanks a lot...
20. Spider-Man: Homecoming – The Dad Talk
In a year full of pretty weak bad guys, Michael Keaton’s
genuinely menacing performance as Adrian Toomes aka The Vulture gave us the
only memorable superhero movie villain of 2017 in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
After several confrontations with the villainous Vulture, it comes to the night of Peter Parker’s homecoming dance and he’s hit with the uncomfortable realisation that his crush’s dad is no other than his superhero alter ego’s sworn enemy. Awkward. As Mr Toomes drives his daughter Liz and Peter to the dance he works out who Peter is and asks Liz to give them a moment so he can give him the ‘dad talk’.
But a typical ‘keep your hands off my daughter’ talk this is not and Mr Toomes lets Peter know in no uncertain terms that should he mess with him and his crew again Peter and everyone he loves will die before oh-so-casually switching back into dad mode and telling him to show his daughter a good time … but not too good. Quite simply the best MCU villain we’ve seen in a long time.
