But here's my list for 2017 so far (of the movies I've gone to see in the theater):

Wonder Woman - still tops my list
Logan - damn good movie
John Wick 2
Atomic Blond
Colossal
Hidden Secrets
Baby Driver
Alien: Covenant

Out of the above, only Hidden Secrets may have an Oscar contender: Taraji P. Henson, Best Supporting Actor.
The rest were highly entertaining and well put together films; professional, slick with solid storylines and good acting. Were they without their flaws? no, but minor in comparison to the overall films.

Let's see what The Last Jedi has to offer.

It might be in the top 10 of the year so far for me, need to think about it.

I'm suddenly sering quite a spurt of really well made films, which seems kinda weird for the amount of movies I watch.


did you mean Hidden Figures, or a different film?

OK. I won't put your unseen Best Films in the OP list until after you've seen them.
But you could post them in the must-see films thread, for films that haven't been seen yet.


I felt Colossal was charming enough to entertain Award hopes.

Yeah, Colossal could gather some awards, I think there will be some nominations.

I can't whittle my current list down to 10 at this time, but here are my contenders now:


The Promise
Gifted
Colossal
Megan Leavey
John Wick 2
Dark Tower
Valerian
GoTG 2
Before I Fall
Logan Lucky
Wind River

I have still not seen Spidey, Bad Batch, Baby Driver, Book of Henry yet.

Gifted, Colossal, Dark Tower, Wind River are the top 4.

Seems a little weird that I'm seeing a bunch of really good films at this time of year.

Kinda expected to see a few in the spring, and a flurry during summer, before fall's Award season choices. That seemed to be a pattern I've seen before. But this summer was less fruitful than hoped.

Some of the films from now could have been spread over the spring and summer.

Should add Blade Runner 2049 to the top 10.
