50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2017 - Ranked

15. Paddington 2

2017 Movies

The Paddington sequel might not have the star pulling power or muscles of the comic book movies coming out this year, but if it's anything like as charming as its predecessor, it's going to be another gem.

The original was one of 2014's most heart-warming successes, thanks in part to an essential, intangible British charm that seems to still captivate the world. You know, despite it being about a Peruvian bear...

Anyway, this time around the cast has swollen with the additions of Hugh Grant and Brendan Gleeson, and it has such an incomprehensibly simple little charming story that it feels like it's from a different age entirely. In a world of Trumps and political implosion and financial ruin, a film about a bear having his pop-up book stolen is both bewilderingly odd and just the perfect tonic.

Release Date: November 10th
