The best Films of 2017

[Insidious Von]

This list may be incomplete, I haven't seen Darkest Hour, The Shape of Water and Phantom Thread yet. It's all subjective.

5. Lego:Batman
4. Wind River
3. Dunkirk
2. Get Out!
1. Logan

Breakout Star: Alison Williams. What she brought to Get Out! caught me completely by surprise - she's put the rimming scene from Girls behind her.

 

[Insidious Von]

I've seen a few episodes of Girls meh. Consider how the careers of Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway went playing a similar role, she'll be able to pick and choose her roles.

 

[Insidious Von]

Get out! came just short of being the best film of the year, but I wondered where Jordan Peele got his inspiration from?

Hard to find recommendations I can trust, thanks.

But, from Stanhope to Fargo, you're Mr. Reliable.

 

[Aardvark154]

Of your list Von I'd chose Dunkirk and Wind River.

John Wick: Chapter 2

Yeah Wind River was definitely one of my top three. Dunkirk is in there too. Maybe Get Out to round out the podium.

Happy New Year:

I was going to pick just three but there were other films that deserved mention. Couldn't pick between two films featuring Canadians: Lego:Batman or Wonder. The Later gets honourable mention due to Vancouver's Jacob Tremblay performance, it's a feel good film that never plunges into schmaltz due to him. The Lego: Batman film shows how ruderless DC/WB are without Nolan. Toronto's Will Arnett would have killed as a live action Batman.

Obviously Nolan and Hardy are best buds, I laughed at the matinee idol moment Nolan gave him at the end of Dunkirk. We can expect to see them work together again - Hardy has said he'll only play 007 if Nolan directs.

Littlefinger just can't stay out of trouble!

There is lots of movies i have yet to see from 2017 but among the ones i saw here is my 2 favourites

1) John Wick 2

Very close to the first one, bad ass, everything i hoped for and more for a movie that didn't really needed or had us expect a sequel.

2) Boyka : Undisputed

Excellent film d'art martiaux, presque aussi bon que Undisputed 3, un excellent showcase du talent de Scott Adkins

There is a lot i have yet to watch like Kingsman 2, IT, Get Out and many mores. Also i would have to take a look at my lists of movies to really make a full list as i watch a lot of Direct to Video movies in the martial arts genre but i had fun this year with cinema.

[Tom] Hardy has said he'll only play 007 if Nolan directs.

The betting money is on James Norton getting the role.

 

[danmand]

Wind River was an excellent movie. I don't watch war movies and cartoons movies (except looney tunes) , so I cannot comment on the rest.

 

[spaman]

Blade runner 2049

I enjoyed Wick II as well, but I thought it suffered from being set directly after the first. There was no feeling of the disruption of his current life which to me was a major dramatic element of the first.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

That was the best performance I ever saw from Sam Rockwell. I'd like to see him get a Supporting Actor nomination.

 

[Freedom1970]

These s a few good ones that just came out such as Darkest Hour & Current Wars but my fav as it is a Documentary/Movie " UNACKNOWLEDGED
