List: Top 5 Best Scenes of 2017

This week on Episode 256 of the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed our the best movie scenes of 2017. Of all the year end Top 3’s we do, this one is arguably the most difficult, but it’s also the most rewarding. These are the moments that moved us the most, were the most thought-provoking and will come to define 2017 in film. There are countless individual scenes that could qualify for this list, but that’s what makes this list exciting in the end. Given that there are so many to choose from, the scenes that do make our list carry a lot of weight with us. On that note, what scenes would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
