20 Most Anticipated 2017 Movies

1. Dunkirk

2017 Upcoming
Warner Bros.

What Is It? Harry Style's acting debut, brought to you by a little-known auteur called Christopher Nolan, pitches the heartthrob as a Private during the Dunkirk rescue from World War II. He'll be supported by a bunch of minor names: Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh.

Why Will It Be Awesome? All joking aside, Dunkirk looks amazing and has been a list-topper since it was announced. Nolan's been in the sci-fi genre in one way or another since 2005's Batman Begins, so it's incredibly exciting to see him stepping into something completely different, and based on the Announcement trailer he looks to have been born to make a war movie. The massive main cast suggests a sprawling epic, something that certainly stands out from the rest of the summer crowd.

Any Concerns? The Styles casting is certainly odd and paints the film in an odd light. Besides that, there's not much riding against Dunkirk; I've never subscribed to many of the director's takeaways - to say he isn't emotional makes you look like a robot.
