Wow. The Post is already out? We just saw them filming on the library steps at Columbia... July 27th.

Okay, time flies. My top ten:


1) Baby Driver - Tequila!
2) Dunkirk - I am not a fan of war films; watched 1/5.
"Hollywood" ending almost ruined it.



7) Spider-Man - son loved it
8) Logan - daughter loved it
9) Wonder Woman - forgot I saw this
10) Star Wars

Forgot I watched the Gardiand of the Galaxy movie also.

Was blade runner really that good? I had no interest before. Need to watch the original, though.

Not everyone will like it as it's a bit slow moving, but it's one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Definitely watch the original first though.

Only saw The Last Jedi in 2017, so I guess that makes it the default number 1 movie for me

Thank you for allowing this dad of young kids to vicariously live through you guys all year. I don't even think I've watched ten movies total in the theaters the past three years.

But I do use the wisdom/reviews of this board to make sure I choose good ones when I do get the chance to watch one.
I've got a 4 year old and 2 year old twins and my wife and I have watched probably 25ish movies in the theater this year. Hire a baby sitter and get out!

GREAT IDEA!!

I'm a first year PhD student and my wife is a stay-at-home mom. In addition to my research hours, I work a second part-time job to pay for our Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions. We recently moved to a new area and are looking for people who will watch our four year old and one year old (as well as breast-feed her) for minimum wage while we go to the movies. You interested?

My favorites from 2017:

1. Dunkirk
2. Blade Runner 2049
3. Wonder Woman
4, Baby Drvier
5. John Wick 2
6. GotG 2

Really haven't seen a lot of the ones on yall's lists, but I usually catch them after the fact on Google Play, so I appreciate the rankings.

I am a little surprised not to see It on anyone's list. I haven't seen it yet, but I know it's the highest grossing horror movie of all time so I figured it'd be on a lot of lists.

I don't think any other film has stuck with me like get out which is insane since that was a February film. Such an impactful movie and a stellar acting from all of the actors

Is Blade Runner really THAT good? Never even considered watching it since I never saw the first one. Guess I'll watch both of them in the next few days.
To me it is an absolute artistic masterpiece. I just saw the first one for the first time several months ago and fell in love with it and the world they created. I am sure some people going into this movie expecting the standard non-stop action and suspense and comedic relief formula will be upset. It had plenty of action and suspense for me but it's more drawn out than most big budget sci-fi movies. The cinematography was jaw dropping to me.

i would either read up on the premise of Blade Runner or watch the original before seeing this one.

Shape of Water looks really good but do the lady and the animal/alien engage in bestiality? Looks like they carry on a sexual relationship. If so, just not sure I can support that.

Let's just say one woman asks the deaf woman asks her the same question and the deaf woman gives a little hand gesture of sorts describing where it's ***** was hidden and then giggling like school girls

Damn, I'm out. Hollywood continues to push the line. Next is attempted normalization of incest....calling it.

My four year old may be. Does he need to be CPR certified?

Justice League

Guess I'm just a big popcorn flick guy...have seen some of the others listed here but they aren't top 10 material for me (Dunkirk, Wind River, Blade Runner 2049, Get Out, Life, Beauty and the Beast). Others were not good at all for me (It Comes At Night, Mother).

Between sporting events, work schedules, kids schedules, and other date nights I am lucky to get to a handful all year long. ****s tough even with a sitter.

25 a year seems unrealistic for most parents of young kids.

Oh god I saw many more movies when I had young kids then I do now....

Fortunate to have weekly grandparent babysitters and we usually went to a movie almost every Saturday. Then add in the kid movies we had to take the kids to....

I've kept track of every movie I've seen since about 1997...I'm anal and I like lists....

I used to see on average 50-60 movies a year in the theater...now I'm down to 30 ish because I'm more selective but also my kids are now 22 and 19 and I don't have to see BS kid movies any more.

1-Blade Runner 2049 - I was never a big fan of Ryan Gosling, but I'm not sure anyone else could have pulled off the performance he gave in this movie. It had little dialog and facial expression for much of the movie, but he not only made it work, he made it work well. And I loved watching Harrison Ford punch him about 30 times. His classic Indiana Jones style punches, haha...

2-The Disaster Artist - I watched The Room a couple of years after it came out because I heard it was the worst movie of all time (around 2005 or 2006), so this movie was fascinating to me. It's strange how much you pull for such a weird cat as Tommy. I guess it's like rooting for the underdog...

3-The Last Jedi - I'm a giant StarWars nerd from way back since the early 1980's when it ran almost nightly on HBO. I was the chicken pox and had nothing to do but watch tv, it's the first ever movie I can remember watching. This one isn't the best StarWars, but it's not the worst, and that's enough for me...

4-Spiderman Homecoming - They casted the perfect kid to play Spiderman, I think the best ever in fact. I collected and read two comic book series as a kid, Ghost Rider and Spiderman (I even had the original mid 1960's copies of #8-#24 of The Amazing Spiderman. A few years later I sold them to buy a Sega Gamegear ), and I can say that this incarnation of Spiderman is the most like the original idea of Stan Lee. This movie was a homerun...
