8. The Lego Batman Movie
($176,750,384.00)
The Oscar Snub of the year, folks. Well, okay, Holly Hunter in The Big Sick was the Oscar snub of the year, but THIS ONE TOO.
I’ll be honest: A spin-off of the wonderfully charming The Lego Movie, this movie was the truest to Batman’s character in God knows how long. Maybe ever. It was a movie about family. How to build one, how to hold on to the one you have, how to accept responsibility and grow up. It was also a movie that had Gentleman Ghost in it.
I recently learned that there was a brand new Lego set with a Gentleman Ghost Lego. I’m already setting up my Amazon order.
It was a hilarious film. A Batman film that didn’t take the material too seriously, but at the same time eminently respected people’s love for the character. What a wonderful movie.
Better than The Boss Baby or Ferdinand, that’s for darn sure.
