Let's start 2013 list with Bong Joon-ho, at the time it was already a well known director basically everywhere, with Barking Dogs never Bite, Memories of a Murder Mother and most of all The Host which immediately became worldwide popular.
Snowpiercer was another well deserved success, also featuring Hollywood stars. and projected the director to a real status among the black-humor authors.
The movie is super entertaining, a gold amongst action genre and tbh I have a thing for frost settings. After 10 years Snowpiercer stand very well the test of time, and influenced plenty of films and tv series, some of them still in development.

Guilty pleasure of mine, I find it one of the most interesting movies of 2017, and I consider it underrated.
I liked the performances of the various actors/characters, the escalation from false kindness to the social tension among them.
I think the script and direction were good too, cause the tone it's mostly not loud, almost delicate but that's the real face of the hypocrisy that permeates the villa where it all takes place.
The movie was made and came out at certain time, while some infamous and controversial things happened (Cecil the lion etc) so even if the pellicula is not a political statement of globally outstanding themes, what it addresses is handled with great efficency.
