5. Baby Driver

This isn’t the sort of movie a guy like me would typically call out on a “best of” list. It doesn’t have much spirituality to speak of, and it certainly ain’t clean. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t give props where they’re due, and this movie is one of the most creative, exhilarating movies of the year. If you want to hear me and a couple of other gents wax poetic over this Edgar Wright-directed thrill ride, check out the Fanboy and Know-it-All podcast with fellow geek Jake Roberson.
