Now is about the time I start bringing the best films of the year. I've checked a few lists and haven't heard of most of the flicks that are coming highly recommended.

What were your top films of the year?

I'm going to vote for Lion.

I accidentally watched this in the cinema when the person behind the counter at the cinema misheard my request for a ticket for the film Life but I was happy I did see this as it's bloody great.

Blade Runner 2049.

myrrh heat than light wrote:Blade Runner 2049.

I may have done this film a disservice as I watched it while I was strawberry floating knackered because of a bout of insomnia and the loudness put me right off.
I was honestly tempted to walk out and complain like a real old geezer .

To be fair the speakers in the Imax I was at was struggling like strawberry float to not be distorted so it was amazingly loud.

Dunkirk for me.

Probably Blade Runner.

I really liked Mother and Get Out. Looks like there are a few belters on the way in time for the Oscars.

My top five (in no particular order) would be

Star Wars The Last Jedi
Dunkirk
Thor 3
Guardians of the galaxy 2
Spiderman Homecoming

Throughout the year I've seen:

Split
Get Out
A Dog's Purpose
Trainspotting 2
Dunkirk
John Wick 2

Get Out was comfortably the best of those.

Get Out is the only one that has comfortably stood out this year.

Brilliant film.

I have seen a few films this year and the best film of the year so far is...

Baby Driver.

End of.

A couple from me:

#. Dunkirk
#. I.T.
#. Logan
#. Thor: Ragnarok

My film of the year probably Thor: Ragnarok

Get Out was the stand out. I also loved
Thor 3.

Enjoyed Baby Driver but also felt it was overrated. Disappointed by Dunkirk.

IT.
Thor 3.
Get Out.
Spiderman Homecoming.
Wonder Woman.
Logan.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

The most disappointing film I’ve seen this year goes to Alien Covenant, hands down. Utter shite.

In no real order

Shin Godzilla
Lego Batman
Logan
Spider-Man Homecoming
Thor Ragnarok
Wonder woman
It
Kong skull island
The last Jedi
Get out
Colossal
The disaster artist
Blade Runner 2049
Baby driver
War for the planet of the apes
John Wick 2
La La Land (think it was released in UK cinemas this year)

Honorable mention to Geo Storm for being almost so gooseberry fool it's good

Most enjoyable experience - The Last Jedi (spoiler free viewing)
Most excited for - Shin Godzilla
Best use of a pencil - John Wick 2
Most stunning leading lady - Blade Runner 2049
Film which was awesome but no one saw - Colossal
Worst scene - Alien Covenant - arms out stretched

Blade Runner 2049.

My Life as a Courgette
Christine
Manchester by the Sea
Toni Erdmann
Blade Runner 2049

I've barely visited a cinema this year, but I did see Wonder Woman and Logan Lucky and I thoroughly enjoyed both of them .

The Handmaiden didn’t make it to any of your lists. Was that last year or something? That and Get Out are my faves of the year.

As always, didn't manage to see everything I wanted, usually as a resulted of limited screenings or inconvenient showtimes. Anyway, favourite film of the year was probably:

The Handmaiden.

Other films I've liked this year include:

A Monster Calls
Manchester By The Sea
Denial
Fences
Hidden Figures
Moonlight
Elle
The Salesman
The Lost City Of Z
Lady Macbeth
Colossal
A Ghost Story
Patti Cake$
The Limehouse Golem
Mother!
Blade Runner 2049
Battle Of The Sexes

Biggest turd of the year:

Alien: Covenant
