So now that 2017 is done with, I'm curious to know what your favorite films of the year are? I still have a few I need to see, but favorites so far are:

5) I, Tonya. This might be a stretch overall, but the acting alone makes this worth a see. Allison Janney nearly (and perfectly) steals the movie as Tonya's mom ("Lick my arse, Dianne"). And her character even acknowledges her status as merely a supporting role ("Well my story line is disappearing right now. What...the...frick"). And it's Margot Robbie's best performance yet.

4)The Meyerowitz Stories - Sandler's best performance. Great film overall. Netflix's best original film (not saying much) by a mile.

3) Three Billboards - Frances McDormand just rocks. And I'm glad Rockwell is getting praise for his performance because it's awesome. And I know Woody Harrelson can be polarizing but when he gets a good supporting role, he kills. Loved it.

2) Dunkirk - Yet another display of Christopher Nolan's brilliance. And he and Hans Zimmer are becoming my favorite director/composer team. This comes close to Dark Knight and after I watch it again, it may surpass.

1) Call Me By Your Name
- This film is a masterpiece. I usually dislike gay-themed films because they are so loaded with agenda. This movie is different. There's no politics, no disease, no homophobic bad guys or the cliche unaccepting family to create drama for the sake of it. It's a simple film about love. It's beautiful and it's gut-wrenching. I can't think of the last time I was so affected by the final shot of a film as with this one.


What about you guys? What did you like this year?

I liked 3 billboards but didn't love it

Thought the writing was average

The movie didn't really go anywhere. The performances were good but every other word was an f bomb

Bluebeard was the best movie I saw last year.

Trailer

It's very Hitchcockian.

He’s the Wade Phillips of acting.

5. The Big Sick

Saw The Shape of Water last week. Went in wanting to and expecting to like it, but the relationship between the girl and the man fish just didn’t do anything for me. Was way more interested in Michael Shannon’s styorline.

Haven’t seen Lady Bird, Darkest Hour, I Tonya, All the Money in the World

Definitely want to see A Ghost Story. It’s one of the few films mentioned that I haven’t seen.
