Get Out
Jordan Peele's debut horror flick was the most profitable film of 2017. Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya), a Black man, visits his white girlfriend Rose's (Allison Williams) house and meets her parents, Missy (Katherine Keener) and Dean Armitage (Bradley Whitford) for the first time. Soon, he learns that he is in grave danger—the Armitages are cult members who intend to use his body as a vessel. For generations, Rose's family has been lobotomizing Black people in order to implant the consciousnesses of their white ancestors who wish to achieve immortality.
Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood
Set in the Manson-era '60s, washed-up TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) have quite the bromance. Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood offers an alternative ending to the real-life murder of Sharon Tate, where three members of the Manson family break into Rick's home, located next door to Tate's in the Hollywood Hills—only to be met with a brutal attack-dog and a flamethrower. Needless to say, the Mansonites are violently murdered, and Tate survives, hardly aware of what took place mere feet from her own residence.
