(It’s been a pretty damn great year for sequels, all things considered.) Or the films that we lauded but were disqualified due to the delays between their wide US releases this year and their actual, limited releases in 2016 or earlier ( Your Name, My Life as a Zucchini, I Daniel Blake). That doesn’t account for the movies that we greatly appreciated and just missed the cut, like T2 Trainspotting and John Wick Chapter 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. The ones that play with genre in fresh and exhilarating ways or give new life to overplayed styles of filmmaking.Īnd those are just the ones we were able to fit onto a mid-year top 10 list. The ones we’ve continued to mull over for months. The movies we’ve loved, enjoyed, and cared enough about to argue over. But at this point, bloated franchise movies have become as perennial as death and taxes, so we’re choosing to focus on the good stuff instead. And yeah, if you were to gesture at the last month or so of film reviews on this site as a counterpoint to our enthusiasm, we can’t exactly disagree. We’re starting to have the sneaking suspicion that 2017 is going to go down as a pretty great movie year.
