My 2017 Movies - ranked

Tools    





_____ is the most important thing in my life…
That's an impressive list. I can't even remember most of the movies I saw this year.



This might just do nobody any good.
It’s nice to know that I didn’t even watch enough good movies this year.



TBH, I really haven't seen a lot of movies from this year as of yet. Lately, I've be on an older movie binge.

The best movies I've seen this year thus far have been Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Wind River.

I really wanna see A Ghost Story. In fact, I should make it a point to watch it this weekend.

It Comes at Night was the biggest letdown I've seen this year. Had so much potential in spots, but never lived up to it.

By US release date. I keep track of everything I see. Unfortunately haven't seen anything above an 8/10 yet this year, which is unusual. 2016 and 2015 both had a few 9/10s I'd seen by the end of November and 2014 and 2013 had both 9/10s and even 10/10s before now. Still a few titles I'm holding out hope for though.

The Salesman, A Quiet Passion, Staying Vertical, The Lost City of Z, The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki, The Disaster Artist, and Machines are the major blind spots of films already released and Phantom Thread, Foxtrot, The Shape of Water, BPM, The Post, and In the Fade are the upcoming titles I'm most looking forward to.

Welcome to the human race...
Trying to gauge which movies from the previous year would technically count as releases from the current year is always the tough part of making these lists (thanks to this thread, I just realised that I can count A Quiet Passion as a 2017 film), but I tend to draw the line at the films that are more obviously from last year but don't get released here until this year (Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea being the clearest examples). Awards season tends to serve as a good cut-off point, though.

As for my list, I'm still working on it, but I count at least 70 titles so far. Looking to get it up to 100 by the end of the month.

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.

Really good Dani. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts
Just from the little I've read it seems to be very divisive, Sam.



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
Are you only watching this year's movies, people?
