To make this list a movie had to be made in 1997. Obviously many movies made in 1996 earned box office dollars in 1997. On the other side many movies made in 1997 made money in 1998 and later. This page will looks at over 250 movies made in 1997. The movies are listed in two massive tables that lets you rank the movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information.

Any consideration for “Behind the Lines”
IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120001/
tiny gross sales, but highly regarded in Britain (BAFTA)
Hey Sidney….just added Behind The Lines to the database…..it will show up on this table on the big website update….it ended up with a 46.30 score which puts it in the 150s….not sure how I missed this one, as we have a Jonathan Pryce page….and it earned $33,000 at the box office. Thanks for the heads up.
Bruce, I don’t think you did miss it. I think you listed it as Regeneration in 1988. It just took me awhile to realize I was staring at the same movie.
any idea whether the title of Mrs. Brown (~#62) is really “Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown”?
Hey Sidney….it looks like the movie goes by both names….IMDb goes with Mrs. Brown….but if you watch the trailer….it says Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown. In times like this I usually go with IMDb. Good eye as always.
