what are your 3 favorite movies of 2017 so far?

haven't seen enough films this year to justify doing this but there's a sense that this has been a terrible year?

toni erdmann/manchester by the sea/cameraperson was an amazing 3-day february binge, but all 2016 films tbh

I finally watched Dawson City: Frozen Time last night, and Frantz the night before. Best 2017 movies I've seen in ages. Screener Season was wretched this year, someone in complete desperation even leaked the Louis CK movie! The Shape of Water one has just leaked but I have little enthusiasm for it.

I've found a subtitled rip of that last Wajda movie, Afterimage that I might watch tonight, but I think that is a 2016 one.

woah i didn't know the Louis film was out there.

my top 10

1. Personal Shopper
2. Get Out
3. Beach Rats
4. Long Strange Trip
5. Blade Runner 2049
6. War for the Planet of the Apes
7. Battle of the Sexes
8. Lady Bird
9. The Beguiled
10. Ingrid Goes West

Janbal, Sieranevada & The Square, I think.

I think at least on the festival-front, 2017 was less exciting than earlier years. That is, Danish festivals (and Danish film) had an absolutely amazing year compared to usual, but that does not really change world film culture. Are we making a film poll this year? Because if so, I'll wait until then to make a longer list. But here's my Top 10 of Danish film:

1. Team Hurricane
2. Winter Brothers
3. Wolf & Sheep
4. A Horrible Woman
5. A Modern Man
6. Venus: Let's Talk About Sex
7. Denmark
8. Darkland
9. Their Finest
10. 3 Things

never 'done', but

BPM (Beats Per Minute)
The Other Side of Hope
Phantom Thread

There used to be a "year in cinema" thread every year. I usually post this question every summer hoping to get some recommendations for fun/shitty comedies or fun/shitty action movies although Film is cool too.

The last movies I saw were Moonlight and Get Out so I definitely need to catch up. Looking forward to Phantom Thread.

Out of the 10 or so movies I saw, I liked Get Out and Baby Driver. and Gerald's Game on netflix.

I pretty much gave up on American movies this year. If they're going to focus on action movies for kids then count me out. As much as I hate to say it, prestige TV is where it's at.

top box office does not guide one's "focus" unless one permits it

the movies i can see at the one multiplex in my area also guides my focus. which right now is a choice between these:
Jumanji
Insidious
Pitch Perfect 3
Star Wars
Father Figures
Ferdinand
Justice League
The Greatest Showman

Can we do a poll as per previous years please.

I would run, but I don't do graphics, it would be boring.

as always, i argue for March when the yokels get everything

A Quiet Passion
The Ornithologist
BPM (Beats Per Minute)

I'll probably have an entirely different list of three in a month or two once the most acclaimed stuff is available to stream (Lady Bird, Florida Project, Phantom Thread, etc.) but for now

Good Time
Get Out
I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore

hey im with morbs, we still haven't gotten phantom thread, happy end, the post, & call me by your name and the shape of water just barely got here before the end of the year.

Can we do a poll as per previous years please.

There have been decade or half-decade polls but I can't recall EOY film ones happening here.

we have been doing them, but the 2010s poll is the one I'm most looking forward to

Are you gonna watch more films so you don't submit a joke of a ballot?

Phantom Thread
