That's a really boring list from Sight and Sound. Usually they pick more lesser known films, glad about Twin Peaks anyway if i was counting it as a film it could be #1.
My 2017 Movies - ranked
But Camo, Faces Places is co-directed by and stars 89-year-old Agnès Varda.

I can only make a solid top 5 so far:
1 - Loveless +
2 - It Comes at Night
3 - Good Time -
4 - A Ghost Story
5 - Get Out
I'm watching "mother!" tonight, so that will probably place somewhere in this list as well.

Don't think i'll be able to see that anywhere for months though 
. The poster with tiny Varda is amazing:
What i meant by that comment was usually Sight and Sound bring up at least a few i'm not aware of, this year i had heard of all 30 so it was a little underwhelming.

I'm not sure where "here" is for you, I live in the US so go by US release date. The differentiation of years applies primarily to foreign films that were released in their home countries in 2016 (or even 2015) but didn't make it Stateside until 2017 or festival titles that had a screening at a ticketed/badged festival in 2016 but weren't released to public audiences until 2017. A Quiet Passion for instance didn't play anywhere in the US but film festivals until April 14, 2017 when it finally got a proper release. I think those cases are pretty straight-forward.
Oscar nominees in regular categories were by definition released in the US last year as that's what it takes to qualify, so Manchester, Moonlight, etc. are all 2016 films if you're American. They may have expanded the number of theaters they played in throughout and into 2017, but they had legitimate theatrical releases in 2016 -- they had to.
Where it can get a bit tricky is in the foreign, doc, and shorts categories where the rules are a bit funky and sometimes the only US screenings in the year they're nominated are at qualifying festivals or private Academy member only screenings. I Am Not Your Negro is the one title I think on my list that represents that. It held screenings for one weekend in December 2016 in one theater in NY and one theater in LA that were free to AMPAS voters but closed to anyone else to qualify for an Oscar nomination, which it got. But it wasn't actually released to the public by its distributor until February 3, 2017. In my opinion, if there's no screening where a random guy off the street with $20 can purchase a ticket, your movie hasn't actually been released yet.
There's typically only a dozen or so cases of that kind of awards chicanery each year though and otherwise I think releases are pretty straightforward. The year next to a title on the mainpage at IMDb is pretty worthless unless you're going by first screening for anyone anywhere, but their release dates page makes pretty clear when a movie has first had a public release.

Going to post all the films i've seen here and update as i watch more. Nathan For You: Finding Frances is something i wouldn't have even thought of, technically it's an episode of a tv show but it's feature length and it's on Letterboxd so i'm counting it. Removed Raw and The Lost City of Z, both were technically released in 2016 but there was no way for me to see them then which is why i had them on my 2017 list, i'm just a weirdo who gets annoyed at films with 2016 on Letterboxd being on my 2017 list haha.

Going to watch: Call Me By Your Name, Dunkirk, It Comes At Night and Three Bilboards soon hopefully. Getting busy right now and it's impossible finding time with all the other stuff i want to watch.

I've never (and might not ever) seen it but Captain Underpants being that high is a big surprise. I used to read those books when i was really young.

Perhaps. I tried adding each new title as the year progressed and then started mixing and matching the order just now since it's all kind of arbitrary (even thought about breaking it down by rating e.g. everything from A Ghost Story to In this Corner of the World is a ) but yeah, maybe it is a little higher than it should be. In any case, it was a surprisingly well-done piece of work that's far better than I would've expected a Captain Underpants movie made by DreamWorks in 2017 to be.
