7. The Favourite - Yorgos Lanthimos is a director with a reputation and a filmography that you either love, hate, or love-to-hate. The Favourite, however, is one of his most straightforward films, a story moored in history and untethered from the complex sadism and uncomfortability of his previous work, but still a Lanthimos production through and through with its razor-sharp script and beautiful cinematography. An uproarious feminist romp, the trifecta of Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz prove that there's still life in the costume drama genre.
