BOTs Top 25 Movies of 2017 | NOLANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[The Panda]

Honestly, I’m pretty sure we knew before 2017 even started that Dunkirk would win this year.

 

If Interstellar could win 2014, I don’t think Nolan can lose on these lists.

Especially with Dunkirk being arguably the most acclaim film of his career.

mother!

 

 

From @WrathOfHan

 

"Wow, you really love Him. God help you."

 

No movie in 2017 can quite replicate the experience of watching mother! There has not been a studio film as divisive as this in YEARS. mother! works so well because of how confident Darren Aronofsky is in his work. He took a script he wrote in a few days, went over to Paramount, and somehow got it greenlit with no interference from the studio. Combine that with an A-lister like Jennifer Lawrence, and there is an interesting concoction afoot. Aronofsky invites you into his creation but does not tell you what to think. Some are enamored by this hellhole and allow him to take hold of their hearts out of their chests. Others see the movie as a shallow allegory that acts bold solely for the sake of being shocking. The believers see Jennifer Lawrence giving the best performance of her career as a helpless victim, yet the dissenters see her performance as one-note and repetitive. Almost nobody is stuck in the middle on this movie, and it isn't hard to see why. For me, mother! is one of the best films of the decade. Aronofsky's confidence and Lawrence's vulnerability are why I and many others love this film so much. mother! is simply horror at its finest.

 

 

User Reviews:

 

Aronofsky has crafted an absolute mindfuck of a film. There are so many ways to interpret mother!, yet none of them feel quite right. This is a movie that requires you to digest what you've watched and think about what it means. Everyone is on their A-game in the film, especially Lawrence. Filming the entire movie from her perspective (save for a couple of shots) immerses you into this home and immediately lets you sympathize with mother. Michelle Pfeiffer gives a hilariously bitchy performance too despite some limited screentime. mother! is a piece of art that I will be revisiting many times in the future. 10/10 | A+

@WrathOfHan

 

It was my #13 film. @WrathOfHan you probably feel vindicated now.

 

Edit: Wait, nvm. What a cruel joke

Actually top 6 essentially represented my top ten.  We did good guys we did good

Although Logan Lucky only at 37.  I feel like we let down Joe Bang

@grim22 Thanks for putting my review of The Disaster Artist in its review spot.

15 of my top 25 made it on to the list, so hard to be too upset. Shame we couldn't get Roman J. Israel, Esq higher than #100 but it was always a big ask. Looking forward to redoing this in 2027 or something to rectify our mistakes.

I don't think a CBM is winning, and I don't think Annihilation even makes the top 25. Maybe Halloween is amazing?

Annihilation will be top 10

[Kraken]

Good list. I wish Coco had placed a little higher but my top 3 had a great showing (BR49, Coco, SoW). Actually, I think only God's Own Country was the only one in my top 10 that failed to make (and I never expected it to). Dunkirk winning, meh, but assumed. Nolan is BOT's Patriots.

[filmlover]

20 of the 25 movies from my list made it so I really have no complaints.

[Arlborn]

We are so predictable.

I wasn’t saying one’s better than the other.  I was saying they produce different kinds of winners.

 

The genre and style of boffy winners is more varied.  Top 25 seems to favor one style over all else.  If you’re a huge high-concept genre fan, that’s good for you. 

[Dementeleus]

Top 25 tends towards big, well-reviewed hits, cuz that's what the majority of us all watch (and tend to like).

[Dementeleus]

Star Wars now 0 for 2 at the Top 25.
