My top ten as it stands right now

 

1. Get Out

2. Blade Runner

3. Lady Bird

4. Star Wars: The Last Jedi (the highest a blockbuster of near this magnitude has gotten since Dark Knight at this point)

5. Logan Lucky

6. Dunkirk

7. Mudbound

8. Detroit

9. War for the Planet of the Apes

10. Big Sick

 

Still need to see Shape of Water, Call Me By Your Name, Phantom Thread (yeee boy), The Post, and want to at least catch Molly's Game, All the Money in the World, and I Tonya too. Still a ton of things that can end up. Surprised how blockbuster heavy it is but some movies I expected to love I ended up merely liking (Florida Project, Three Billboards, Disaster Artist)

Top 10 rn:

 

1. mother!

2. Three Billboards

3. Get Out

4. Detroit

5. Coco

6. The Big Sick

7. Blade Runner 2049

8. Mudbound

9. Lady Bird

10. Star Wars: The Last Jedi/Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2

 

I expect The Post and Phantom Thread to break into here at the very least. That whole bottom five could be knocked out tbh

I still have a few movies to see (Call Me by Your Name, I Tonya, The Post, Molly's Game, Phantom Thread) but I'll go out on a limb and say that I'll be stunned if Darkest Hour doesn't take the honors for Most Overrated Movie of 2017. I'm actually amazed it got an 84% RT approval, it's so basic.

Want to see a better Winston Churchill I heard, watch the crown season 1.

It's 2018 in America. America's the only country that matters, therefore it's a 2018 movie.

I'm somewhat expecting it to be in my top ten if it really is better than the first

It'll be eligible for our Top 25 this year, therefore IT IS 2017.

[Cmasterclay]

The more I think about Three Billboards the more disappointed I get. Great writer, cast is terrific...but it just never feels like it amounts to anything, and ends up kind of just existing. Momentum dies after a great first half.

I'm finally seeing CMBYN tomorrow. Seethe. 

[WrathOfHan]

Unless I get the trailer at Jumanji, I'm going in completely blind on Paddington 2. I've gotten the trailer at nothing.

It's fine. I'll just stare at Armie's Hammer tomorrow. It'll probably be just as beautiful.

But I, TONYA got a 90% on RT.

But he doesn't show his hammer in the movie. 

 

I read in an interview not too long ago that he almost didn't take on the movie because the original draft of the script had too much sex in it and he didn't want to embarrass his children.

I haven't seen Darkest Hour yet but I've never been much of a fan of Joe Wright. Don't imagine I'll like it as much as critics.

About the nicest thing I can say about Darkest Hour is that at least it's better than Pan.

Never forget he was responsible for this:

Aww, he's such a dork.

 

Yet another reason I want to marry him.
