Best Movies of 2017

[Marlowe]

No new movies will come out this year now that Boxing Day has passed, so I guess it's the best time to ask for top ten/best of the year/overrated-underrated lists.

 

[Footypie32]

My list:

1. Bladerunner 2049
2. Logan
3. Thor: Ragnarok
4. Baby Driver
5. John Wick 2
6. Wonder Woman
7. Atomic Blonde
8. The Meyerowitz Stories
9. Logan Lucky
10. Justice League (Probably to be replaced by TLJ tomorrow)

 

[Kong]

Pretty weak year for films.

I still have a fair few that I want to see and expect will be decent, but so far I'd rate Wind River as the best.

There are four sequels in my top ten, which is a bit depressing but such is the state of the industry. While obviously these ones were very well done, I hope we can soon demand some more originality from the films of today, because it's sucking everything down.

10. War for the Planet of the Apes - this series has also been surprisingly very good, and this was a great way to end the whole thing.
9. Thor: Ragnarok - arguably the best of the MCU movies, and just a great comedy.
8. Coco - while they aren't as consistent as they once were, Pixar have shown between this and Inside Out that when they have the inspiration, there's still nobody better at making these films.
7. Frantz - this gorgeous Franco-German film, set in the days after World War One, was perhaps the most beautiful and touching film of the year.
6. Baby Driver - what a crime-action movie should be.
5. Detroit - excellent tension and a timely reflection on police brutality and racism.
4. Logan - this came from nowhere for me. I went in without having seen a preview or knowing of the shift in tone. A fresh way of dealing with a tired genre.
3. Blade Runner 2049 - a worthy sequel, which is saying something considering the original is one of the greatest films of all time.
2. The Salesman - Asghar Farhadi is one of the best directors working today, and his Iranian dramas consistently astonish. This is one of the best of them.
1. Dunkirk - oddly doesn't seem as beloved as some of Nolan's other films, because I think this is his masterpiece. Will undoubtedly go down as a classic.

I'll be playing catchup on this year's movies, have only seen some of the blockbusters. Not a lot of films have really appealed to me honesty altho I still haven't watched Wind River or Last Jedi.

Top 5 right now:

1) IT - I had some issues with it but it was such a fun film to watch in the cinema, totally jumped out of my seat at one point. Favourite movie of the year.

2) Dunkirk - Again it had some problems but I really enjoyed it too.

3) Blade Runner 2049 - Superb. Could be my number 1 really based on quality but I just liked the above two more.

4) Baby Driver - Some very cool scenes.

5) Alien Covenant - I don't think many liked this but i found it entertaining enough.

The Wall was pretty underrated, IMO.

Simple but effective.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Have yet to see Dunkirk, but I'm sure I'll love it.

Of those I saw, Get Out was easily the best. Followed by Wonder Woman and IT.

Pretty ordinary year for movies I think.

Agree that it's been a meh year. There was much to see as always but so much of it left a very mild impression; stuff that was supposed to be exciting like Lady Macbeth, Columbus, Okja, Mudbound, Call Me By Your Name, Detroit, The Square, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, mother!, Song to Song, Wonderstruck, Three Billboards, Loveless, Baby Driver - all failed to wow me (or in some cases, I detested). A lot of blanks from a lot of worthwhile filmmakers (although it seems like a year where a lot of good directors took time off as well).

 

[Roobs321]

Haven't seen much this year.

Call Me By Your Name in June at the Sydney Film Festival was a clear standout for mine, would be more than deserving of the Best Picture Oscar. Since I first saw it, its reputation has steadily grown into the most highly acclaimed film of the year, just an accessible coming-of-age love story in a decadent Italian summer.

Dunkirk was also Nolan's best film since...The Prestige for mine, a return to something near top form.

The Vietnam War long doco currently running on SBS has been largely excellent.

My Happy Family was a pleasant surprise worthy of a shoutout. Seems to have joined Netflix recently, so would recommend.

Going through that list I saw more than I thought. Get Out, Kong: Skull Island, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League, Star Wars: The Last Jedi. You don't need to see most of them.

 

[Free Agent]

Didnt watch much because was a pretty s**t year for movies.

But what I enjoyed.
Best movie of 2017 for me was The foreigner with Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosman was a decent movie and surprising playing different complex characters that they normally do and doing it well.

Get out and John Wick 2 honorable mentions.
