I walked out and said to myself, "that was so damn good." It would have been high for sure on my 2017 list if it had a normal release that permitted me to see it before now.

Right on. I finally saw You Were Never Really Here a couple days ago. Great film as expected. It might make my Top 10 of 2017, but it's too late for that. Besides, now it's a frontrunner for the 2018 list. A film that good can't be our #47 of 2017 and be left at that. And yeah, decade lists are better because there's no release year technicalities or controversies (unless the technicality is between a year ending in 9 vs. 0).

Finally got around to In The Fade. Good stuff. Would've been on my list for sure.

Surely it will, if StreetSpirit is correct. I don't see why not. Split made both our 2016 and 2017 list. Raw made 2017 while just missing 2016.

I know we talked about it but couldn't remember if anything else was lined up. Alright. Guess I'll roll with it soon.

You Were Never Really Here is going to appear on next year's list too, since it had releases in many areas before the deadline, but didn't hit North America until after the deadline. Going to see it next week, and expecting great things.

Some films are about where they belong. Some are a little off. Some are way out of place. I can't wait until we do a Best of 2010s decade list in a few years, so we can see the truly great movies of 2017 (and every year for that matter) stand the test of time, while the good-for-one-watch (if that) movies fall flat on their fucking faces like an entitled stupid white girl jumping out of a speeding car.

I was under the assumption you were hosting a Westerns list next.

You Were Never Really Here had a stupidly slaughtered release. I know Ramsey probably doesn't care about the Oscars too much, but she could've scored a few noms if she wanted to. It's great. Hope you like it! 😁 (rec watching in theatre).

And a 10's will be nearly impossible. Been thinking about that (for music anyway) and it's just insane. What a jam-packed decade. Easily more content than ever before... dwindling it down is impossible. Moonrise Kingdom won our 2010-2014 poll, but I'm not entirely sure if it would hold ground.

And yeah, whatever the next poll is, I'm not involved. Badseed running westerns would be cool though. 😄

woops... 😨 probably should've known that/said something about it.

Congrats to 2-time winner Saoirse Ronan 😁

Nah. 2015 was the first. Mad Max: Fury Road won, and I can't recall if we did the acting awards, but I do remember a soundtrack category. Arrival won 2016, with Amy Adams and Casey Affleck scooping up the acting awards.

I'm cool with Ronan topping our list. She appeared on every submitted acting list apart from one. In fact, neither category was particularly close, both winners were practically runaways.

Also, whenever I see 'J-Law' written, I still think Jude Law.

Pretty sure we did do acting for 2015 as well. I'll find it...

The perfect DDL reaction to being placed on the same pedestal as Ronan.

Five years ago he shared one with J-Law, fresh off her star-making turn in that shitty Battle Royale remake. Maybe not here (did we do these back then?). Is Ronan really that bad? I like both but I don't think DDL would care about one if he didn't care about the other. He's the far superior actor on practically every stage he's been on anyway. If I was him I would have quite the superiority complex.

😨

Perhaps it was.

I apologize if any pictures are incorrect or have spoilers, etc... there's still about 15 films here that I haven't seen (Wind River not being one of them though... that was just my bad).

I am sliiiightly surprised by how English-centric this list is (I think there's only 3 non-English films, all near the bottom), but it really was a strong year for English cinema. Expected A Fantastic Woman and/or BPM to make it, but neither were particularly close. Hoping this year turns out to have a bit more international oomph.

Solid list, with three of my top four as the top three. More people need to see Brigsby Bear!

Only major surprise in the top 10 was Wind River, in place of the expected (IMO) Call Me By Your Name.

Great year for horror. Glad that translated to here. Get Out is a landmark in films of the genre earning major awards and nominations, IT is the highest grossing horror film ever, and Raw was just plain awesome.
