We've taken a look at the most disappointing movies of the year, now let's look back on the best.

If you're looking for something good to watch before starting the new year with a clean slate, add these to your holiday watch list.
15. "The Shape of Water"
What it's about: Guillermo del Toro's movie set in the 1960s is about a mute janitor who forms a bond with an amphibian who just so happens to be a classified experiment. The movie won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year.
Review consensus:"'The Shape of Water' finds Guillermo del Toro at his visually distinctive best — and matched by an emotionally absorbing story brought to life by a stellar Sally Hawkins performance."

14. "The Florida Project"
What it's about: You may see the area around the Disney parks differently after watching this indie movie about the hard-working, struggling-to-survive community that lives in a motel outside of the theme park's walls. The film follows the life of a mother and her six-year-old daughter trying to get by week to week.
Review consensus: "The Florida Project offers a colorfully empathetic look at an underrepresented part of the population that proves absorbing even as it raises sobering questions about modern America." It also found a fan in Drake.

13. "I Am Not Your Negro"
What it's about: Director Raoul Peck imagines the book James Baldwin started but never finished before his death in 1987. It was about the lives and assassinations of his friends Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Medgar Evers. The movie makes parallels between the Civil Rights and Black Lives Matter movements.
This technically came out December 2016 for one week for Oscar consideration, but it wasn't released nationwide until February 3, 2017.
Review consensus: "'I Am Not Your Negro' offers an incendiary snapshot of James Baldwin's crucial observations on American race relations -- and a sobering reminder of how far we've yet to go."
