Hey Dan
1. Thanks for your Top 10 of 2017.
2. Of the 23 movies you listed….I have seen 12 of them.
3. The ones I really enjoyed Last Jedi (made my Top 10), Hidden Figures and Disaster Artist. *The Founder did not make my 2017 list because, it was released in 2016…. but it was one of the best movies I saw in 2017.
4. Book of Henry started off well….but got too dark for me. But it was memorable.
5. Dog’s Purpose was fun…and we own it on Blu-Ray….but I have to say I am surprised it is first on your list.
6. Ones that I am looking forward to are…3 Billboards, Lady Bird and LBJ.
Good stuff.
Dog’s Purpose is one of my weird best of year pictures (and it was the first 2017 release I saw). I have and liked What Happened to Sunday but it overstays its welcome like I, Tonya. Both pictures were going gangbusters for me (potential 4 stars) that seemed to run 20 minutes too long. I have but have yet to watch from last year Manifesto with Cate Blanchett playing 13 parts. I also have an old Lupino Lane silent comedy where he plays I think 28 roles, in a 20 minute flic. Lupino is Ida Lupino’s uncle.
Hey Dan….”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”……I liked A Dog’s Purpose…..just not among my favorites of the year. I agree What Happened To Monday could have been about 20 minutes shorter. I have yet to see I, Tonya…but I want to. As for Manifesto….she is getting some Oscar buzz….but right now she seems to be on the outside looking in….when in comes to a nomination. Interesting about the Lupino silent comedy.
Best Actress Strong Possibles This Year
Meryl Streep in The Post
Margot Robbie in I, Tonya
Frances McDormand in 3 Billboards
Sally Hawkins in The Shape of Water
That leaves about 10 solid performances fighting for that last spot……it is going to be fun.
Hey Weihnachten-mama. It has a pretty stout 7.4 IMDb rating. It is not told in chronological order which might make it hard to follow for some. But unraveling the story is half the fun of the movie.

I don’t know why the top 6 is listed twice.
Hey Dan…that has been fixed.

Surprised you did not have Baby Driver higher.
If only the ending had been better.
I’ve only heard bad things about Shotcaller, kinda makes me want to see it before the year ends.
