I've got a bit of a mixed bag, Oscar nominees mixed in with a critically panned Christmas themed comedy sequel

1. Call Me By Your Name
2. Paddington 2
3. mother!
4. Lion
5. Baby Driver
6. Manchester By The Sea
7. Wonder
8. Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle
9. A Bad Moms Christmas
10. Hacksaw Ridge

Choosing my favourite was easy but the middle section was tough (to order - my top 9 are movies I gave 9/10 or above in the Cinema 2017 thread that I've kept updated). Lion and Manchester By The Sea are from right at the start of the year so I can't recall as many details, then you have Paddington and mother which are total opposites in terms of content.

Worst movies of the year: Table 19 and Free Fire

Posted by: UltraReputation 27th December 2017, 12:57 AM

01. La La Land
02. The Florida Project
03. Baby Driver
04. It
05. The Big Sick
06. Wonder
07. Sing
08. Happy Death Day
09. Dunkirk
10. Paddington 2

Notable mentions: Wonder Woman, Get Out, Manchester By The Sea, Moonlight, Beauty & The Beast, The Last Jedi, Life, Gifted

Still need to see: Mother, Call Me By Your Name, Pitch Perfect 3, Battle Of The Sexes, A Bad Moms Christmas

Still so many films I wanna see but haven't yet (like, Disaster Artist, Call Me By Your Name, Pitch Perfect 3, Jumanji)

But here's my list in case I don't see them in time of you closing this

Fave Films:
01. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
02. La La Land
03. Thor: Ragnarok
04. Spiderman: Homecoming
05. Wonder Woman
06. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

08. Life
09. Wonder
10. Hacksaw Ridge

Posted by: PaulM1983 28th December 2017, 02:11 PM

I very nearly included Life. Really enjoyed that.

Posted by: Jonjo 28th December 2017, 02:45 PM

Likewise with me and Power Rangers from your list. I think it's actually really under appreciated. Life took me by surprise and I was surprised at how much I actually really enjoyed it.

Yeah I'm thinking a sequel is just about happening tbh. The revenue from toy sales is insane. Plus, now that the characters are established they can focus on bigger fight scenes.

Posted by: JackJones 28th December 2017, 11:52 PM

1. Call Me By Your Name
2. Dunkirk
3. Get Out
4. The Belko Experiment
5. Wind River
6. Kong - Skull Island
7. Geostorm
8. Baby Driver
9. Hacksaw Ridge
10. Happy Death Day

Posted by: Severin 29th December 2017, 01:27 PM

I agree that life is really good. it almost made my list, but I did think it was slightly too derivative and thus lost out

Posted by: ionderella 29th December 2017, 08:15 PM

i'm always bad at making lists of my favourite films i watched so far this year as i never write anything down and won't be able to remember anything. although i do know that i've been to the cinema this year more than between 2014-2016 put together!

either way nothing really stood out this year... except for mother! which was epic.
colossal had incredible idea, execution and plot. very respectable 2nd place.
and in 3rd it's probably wonder woman. i'm sooooo sick and tired of superman and batman having watched the avengers or whatever they are called before this one so this was such a breath of fresh air!

happy death day was fun too but a bit spoiled by an experience in the cinema being surrounded by idiotic people. do all teenagers bring PIZZAS in there or is it just a Spanish thing??! :/

Posted by: Candlelit Snow 29th December 2017, 11:32 PM

1. Beauty and the Beast
2. Spiderman
3. Happy Death Day
4. Pitch 3, I assume
5. Despicable me 3



The rest were all shet

Posted by: Jack 30th December 2017, 12:00 AM

01 The Florida Project
02 Call Me By Your Name
03 Happy Death Day
04 Get Out
05 It
06 Raw
07 Elle
08 Life
09 Split
10 Moonlight

A decent year for films!

I think Happy Death Day is the one I'll come back to the most just due to how entertaining it was. Both 'Call Me By Your Name' and 'The Florida Project' were stunning visually, had amazing actors as well as scripts - was hard to decide between the two.

Posted by: Regina 30th December 2017, 12:24 AM

The top 2 kinda dominate the rest, especially my #1 which was just stunning.

1. The Zookeeper's Wife
2. Wonder Woman
3. Gifted
4. Manchester By The Sea
5. Girls Trip
6. The Tribes of Palos Verdes
7. Logan Lucky


Not seen many films from 2017 so cant do a full list.

Posted by: MvG501 30th December 2017, 10:50 PM

1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
2. Blade Runner 2049
3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
4. Thor: Ragnarok
5. Wonder Woman
6. Kong: Skull Island
7. Lion
8. Spider-Man: Homecoming
9. War for the Planet of the Apes
10. Justice League

1. mother!
2. before i fall
3. what happened to monday
4. colossal

All up to date so far. If there are any late additions to come you have until the end of Sunday

Posted by: Jonjo 2nd January 2018, 06:54 PM

Are edits allowed?

I have Greatest Showman at #6 now and Im planning on seeing Jumanji tonight and Pitch Perfect 3 during the week. I doubt them two will but just in case haha.

Posted by: Severin 2nd January 2018, 07:42 PM

Yep as long as it's in by the deadline. Just post a reply here to let me know and I'll edit it

Posted by: PaulM1983 3rd January 2018, 12:09 PM

I am shocked that Jumanji very nearly made my top 10. It was so much more fun than I expected.
