Looking back on 2017, it’s been a fantastic year for film and television, but every year has its duds. While everyone is putting out lists of the 10 best movies, I thought I’d do something slightly different. No one can see them all, and I certainly didn’t (though I hope to catch up, especially with the Golden Globe nominees) but I did see over 30 films in theaters throughout those 12 months. This is part 1 of several articles where I will give general thoughts and rankings of every film I saw in 2017. I guess we’ll start at the top.
