Blade Runner 2049 was my favourite film I saw last year. Left the cinema in such a weird melancholic mood but I loved it. Also, the Holiday was filmed where I grew up! I remember driving past and seeing the street all blocked off where they were filming
Lady Bird, Thor, The Shape of Water and The Big Sick were my absolute favorites that I saw in 2017. Also Loving Vincent was stunning and so beautiful. My favorite movie of all time which I think I watched three times this year is a Studio Ghibli called The Whisper of the Heart. It’s amazing and my absolute favorite movie and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.
The Holiday is legitimately one of my favorite movies of all time. I can't tell you how many times I've watched it. There was this one time years ago when I went on vacation with my family, and all I ended up doing was watching The Holiday. It's such a good movie. And I completely agree about Jude Law being peak sexy in it. And Jack Black gives one of his best performances. The whole thing is just great.
“Call Me by Your Name” is an absolute winner for me. I’ve been struggling a bit with movies this year, but this one I already saw twice, basically back to back, and I just cannot get enough of it. So beautiful, so sunny, so far removed from all the worries that all of us have been having re politics and social issues and stuff... Kind of the “La La Land” of 2017 - a majestically simple love story, a story of coming of age and having the best parents on earth, a story of living and loving in the most natural and intuitive of ways... And of course the scenery and the soundtrack are gorgeous. Really recommend it!
I see a ton of films because I love going to the cinema. Wonder Woman was my absolute favourite film of last year. I'm obsessed. The music, the plot, the action scenes, Gal Gadot, the Amazons, the World War 2 setting; I love everything about it. Saw it three times in cinema and dragged two friends and my sister along :')
I watched Get Out last week and when I finished it I immediately wanted to watch it again, loved it! Need to watch Ladybird, can’t wait to see it. Just went to see Coco and my god the last 20 mins had me blubbing
I don't watch many films in movie theaters but this year I saw The Big Sick, Lady Bird, and Call Me By Your Name and they were all So. Good. I also watched and loved Moonlight, but I streamed it
Definitely The Greatest Showman was my favorite film of 2017. Probably one of the most joyful cinema experiences I've had in years. The music is magical. The cast is incredible. The choreography is mind blowing. It's so so so good. (PT Barnum was definitely a very problematic person IRL, though.)
One of my favourites that I saw at the cinema was the documentary Kedi which is about stray cats in Istanbul. It's such a lovely film! It's on iTunes and Amazon now. Also loved T2 Trainspotting, The Big Sick and The Glass Castle.
Hidden Figures and Get Out were also big highlights for me in 2017! I also really loved Lion, it's definitely a tear jerker though. And not in 2017 but yesterday I watched Coco which was also wonderful and I'd really recommend!
Dunkirk... no doubts.... it blew my mind away and stays in my mind for such a long time, especially I haven't liked any war movies before.....Really hope to get to Lady Bird
Try 'Call Me By Your Name'. I watched it at the end of 2017, lately I got into the music from the movie, and yesterday I finished the audiobook. I'm so taken by the idyllic Italian summer. It's poetic and just great, try it ;)
Totoro is my favourite Studio Ghibli film!! I think you'd probably like Kiki's Delivery Service as well! And the Holiday is my fave chick flick and my favourite holiday film! And Hidden Figures I think was my favourite 2017 film. I saw it 4 times in cinemas and was just blown away by it. Thor comes a close second because it was amazing and the Australian-ness of it made me very happy :D
I just loved Lady Bird! I loved the story and it was fun for me to watch because I live where the film was set. So it was also refreshing to see the city of Sacramento portrayed realistically.
I've forgotten everything I was earlier in the year... but in December I saw Wonder, which I LOVED, it was so adorable!!! I also saw The Greatest Showman, which I thought had plot issues but was visually stunning and the music was fabulous!
yay Hidden Figures!! I'm from West Virginia, like the main character in the film and we get a lot of flack... so I'm SO glad for SO many reasons when this gets the attention it deserves
I love The Holiday so much! The soundtrack makes me melt with all that piano-y goodness. Really need to see Hidden Figures - I've heard so many good things about it.
That’s so wild. My friend and I were just talking about how our twenties suck and I mentioned “13 Going On 30” and how now I kinda relate to the wanting to be “Thirty, flirty, and thriving.” Of course it’s ridiculous, but I now kinda understand where that character was coming from. I sure didn’t feel like that when I was 13 though....
I'm glad you liked Get Out! I still need to read the book and go see Hidden Figures. I thought Thor 3 was good but I didn't understand why they made it into a comedy; it was different for me than the seriousness of the past 2 Thor movies but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My favourites are The Shape of Water, Dunkirk, Baby Driver, Logan and Thor Ragnarok ^^ I haven't seen Coco, Blade Runner 2049, Wind River, TheGreatest Showman or Get Out :/ but I keep hearing good things about them.
I loved Get Out too and I’m not usually a horror fan. I also enjoyed IT (again weird given I don’t like scary movies usually). Hidden Figures was superb
It's so weird that my most favorite film I saw in 2017 is The Foreigner starring Jackie Chan. I saw the trailer like several months before it premiered, and I did put it on my list of movies to see within the year and totally forgot about it. It wasn't until my friends invited me on the weekend of the premier that I finally remembered and I decided to just to spontaneously go out and watch the film. It's a great thriller and it was nice seeing Jackie back in action, as well as Katie Leung (Cho Chang). ^^ Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, and 13 Going on 30, are some of my favorite films Glad you enjoyed them. :D
I haven't seen The Last Jedi yet, but I'm very curious about it, because I wonder if it'll make up for The Force Awakens which I thought was really bad. Looking forward to Lady Bird also.
mabusestestament I loved TLJ, it does have a slightly different feeling then the originals, which I know a lot of people didn't agree with, but personally I kinda liked that. It didn't feel like they were just rehashing. It was not my fave one, but I think it was definitely worth the watch. (Then again I also liked TFA. So you might not agree. Lol.😂 Although they are not really the same)
For some reason I didn't watch a lot of movies this year and I didn't go to the cinema once, I feel like all that's coming out are Star Wars or Marvel movies which is a bit frustrating when you're still trying to catch up on all of them ^^ But this year I discovered My Own Private Idaho and as soon as I watched it made it into my "favourite movies of all time" list, such a beautiful film. I also discovered the music documentary It Might Get Loud, which started my obsession with Jack White haha
I had such a slow year for films in 2017 (I have this 'thing' where I feel like I can't go to the cinema alone because it's not fun if you can't share the experience), the only film I saw in cinema was 'Loving Vincent'. Even though the plot was a little more docu-drama than your typical movie, the animation just blew me away and I am SO happy they've gotten an Oscar nomination for it. However, I am aiming to go and see 'The Shape of Water' when it's released in the UK... mid February I think?
My favourite film I watched in 2017 and also one of my favourite films of all time now is The Handmaiden. I watched it twice in 2017, the first time being in the cinema and will watch it again. It's so wonderful and hilarious and thrilling and gay. I also loved Coco and But I'm a Cheerleader.
I LOVE 13 going on 30, what a film. So many great films here! I also loved Hidden Figures😊 I really enjoyed Lion, you must watch it if you haven't yet!!
i love okja so much!! and i loved hearing about your favorite films! i'll definitely add a bunch of these to my to-watch list since i don't watch that many films BUT i'm hoping to watch more this year so yay :)) i've been wanting to watch Lady Bird so!!! badly!! hopefully i'll get a chance to see it soon.
My best friend's mum once said I reminded her of the girl in 13 Going On 30. Not the actress, which would have been flattering, but the actual child in an adult's body character -_- Anyway my favourite films last year were probably Down By Law (saw it for the first time at a screening) and Thor. Can't wait to see Lady Bird!
You didn't mention The Greatest Showman so I'm gonna just throw it out there, because oh sweet jesus did I love it. the songs, the cast, everything in this movie is just absolutely breathtaking ! might I ad, there's only one other movie that has had me in tears this many times, but unlike the other, in this film they were (mainly) all happy tears. If you're into musicals (or even if you're not) I'd give it go. also I like Lost River (directed by Ryan Gosling ) that's like a modern neon noir-esque fairytale. some people haven't liked it though, but I just think you can't go wrong watching a movie with Saoirse Ronan in it
Wonderful list miss😌 I'm unaware if your much for the horror type genre, but the new adaptation to Stephen King's IT is quite good & loads of fun. And I'm happy to finally own it😍 I'd love to watch lady bird. I'm sure eventually when it arrives on blu-ray I'll own it as well. Cheers!👍
I think my favourite film last year was T2:Trainspotting, honourable mentions go to Hidden Figures, The Beguiled, Wind River, The Limehouse Golem and Battle of the Sexes.
My favorite films from 2017 were The Shape of Water, T2 Trainspotting, Lady Bird, Split, It, Baby Driver, The Beguiled, Darkest Hour, Dunkirk, Get Out, & Wind River.
I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I didn't enjoy the film adaptation of Call Me By Your Name. Personally, the book is just way better at presenting the story. But if you did enjoy the movie, that's great!
I saw Coco three times in theaters and cried every single time!!! It's easily one of my all time favorite movies.
Blade Runner 2049 was my favourite film I saw last year. Left the cinema in such a weird melancholic mood but I loved it. Also, the Holiday was filmed where I grew up! I remember driving past and seeing the street all blocked off where they were filming

Mr. Napkin head steals my heart every time
13 Going on 30 was legit one of my favourite films growing up, I've lost count of how many times I've seen it! I really have to rewatch it now 😊
“Call Me by Your Name” is an absolute winner for me. I’ve been struggling a bit with movies this year, but this one I already saw twice, basically back to back, and I just cannot get enough of it.

The film 'gifted' was a favourite from last year. It's really sweet and heartwarming :)
I watched Get Out last week and when I finished it I immediately wanted to watch it again, loved it! Need to watch Ladybird, can’t wait to see it. Just went to see Coco and my god the last 20 mins had me blubbing
omg yesss 13 Going on 30 is SUCH a feelgood film
Oh and I just watched The Big Sick and it's so good!
I don't watch many films in movie theaters but this year I saw The Big Sick, Lady Bird, and Call Me By Your Name and they were all So. Good. I also watched and loved Moonlight, but I streamed it
I just saw Call Me By Your Name last night and it was absolutely gorgeous. Already one of my favorites for the year.
Definitely The Greatest Showman was my favorite film of 2017. Probably one of the most joyful cinema experiences I've had in years. The music is magical. The cast is incredible. The choreography is mind blowing. It's so so so good. (PT Barnum was definitely a very problematic person IRL, though.)
One of my favourites that I saw at the cinema was the documentary Kedi which is about stray cats in Istanbul. It's such a lovely film! It's on iTunes and Amazon now. Also loved T2 Trainspotting, The Big Sick and The Glass Castle.
I watched Kedi on a plane and loved it! So cute!
Guardians Vol. 2, Thor: Ragnarok and The Shape of Water. The last is just so good. A dark fairy tale with a monster that doesn't have gills.
Hidden Figures and Get Out were also big highlights for me in 2017! I also really loved Lion, it's definitely a tear jerker though. And not in 2017 but yesterday I watched Coco which was also wonderful and I'd really recommend!
Dunkirk... no doubts.... it blew my mind away and stays in my mind for such a long time, especially I haven't liked any war movies before.....Really hope to get to Lady Bird

The Shape of Water. It was hard to find a cinema that was playing it, not very many picked it up but it's amazing. It's so simple and beautiful.
Manchester by the Sea was a favorite for me. Slow, but well paced, and very moving.
Totoro is my favourite Studio Ghibli film!! I think you'd probably like Kiki's Delivery Service as well! And the Holiday is my fave chick flick and my favourite holiday film! And Hidden Figures I think was my favourite 2017 film. I saw it 4 times in cinemas and was just blown away by it. Thor comes a close second because it was amazing and the Australian-ness of it made me very happy :D
call me by your name!!! it was amazing I think you would really love it!
thank you!! i've added their movies to my list!
I just loved Lady Bird! I loved the story and it was fun for me to watch because I live where the film was set. So it was also refreshing to see the city of Sacramento portrayed realistically.
I've forgotten everything I was earlier in the year... but in December I saw Wonder, which I LOVED, it was so adorable!!! I also saw The Greatest Showman, which I thought had plot issues but was visually stunning and the music was fabulous!

I sure didn’t feel like that when I was 13 though....
I LOVE "The Holiday"! It is such a cute, good chic flick with some good messages about relationships! And it's super romantic as well!
"Lala Land", "Dunkirk", "Moana", "Lion", "Gaga: Five Foot Two" and an Italian film called "Perfect Strangers" by Paolo Genovese.
I'm so excited to hear about letterboxd! I have wanted something like Goodreads for movies for a long time.
My favourite movie of 2017 was Call Me By Your Name, and I also loved The Shape of Water, Lady Bird, Wonder Woman and Hidden Figures too :)
Just watched The Place Beyond the Pines for the first time this year too, I loved it so much can't believe I went so long without seeing it.
So many great films. Also so funny that the Jennifer Garner movie has a different name where I live-I know it as Suddenly 30
Logan and The ZooKeepers Wife were my two favorite movies I watched in 2017. I get teary eyed just thinking about both of them
I'm glad you liked Get Out! I still need to read the book and go see Hidden Figures. I thought Thor 3 was good but I didn't understand why they made it into a comedy; it was different for me than the seriousness of the past 2 Thor movies but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My favourites were Wonder, Call Me By Your Name and Logan, you should check them out!
My favourites are The Shape of Water, Dunkirk, Baby Driver, Logan and Thor Ragnarok ^^ I haven't seen Coco, Blade Runner 2049, Wind River, TheGreatest Showman or Get Out :/ but I keep hearing good things about them.
My favorite films from this past year: Get Out, Good Time, Lady Macbeth, Lady Bird, The Other SIde of Hope, Happy End, and The Square.
SANNE!! YOU NEED TO WATCH "YOUR NAME" !!! IT'S AMAZING AHHHH
aka KIMI NO NAWA AHHHH
Hidden Figures is one of my favourite films too! I watched it like three times last year
I loved Hidden Figures!! Haven't seen any of the others
Yes! Totally relate to Jude Law and The Holiday! Also hidden figures is probably one of the best films I have seen too!
Never heard of Letterboxd - new way for me to track my film watching - thank you!!
I loved Get Out too and I’m not usually a horror fan. I also enjoyed IT (again weird given I don’t like scary movies usually). Hidden Figures was superb
Dunkirk, Everything Everything, Spiderman Homecoming, and Pitch Perfect 3 were really good!

I haven't seen The Last Jedi yet, but I'm very curious about it, because I wonder if it'll make up for The Force Awakens which I thought was really bad.
Looking forward to Lady Bird also.
If you hated the force awakens because it is too derivative then you will love the last jedi

I didn't watch many movies last year, but my favorites were: Thor Ragnarok, Coco, Get Out, and Call Me By Your Name
The recliner chairs are in some UK cinemas now too!
I agree with you. Get you is really fantastic. 😊.
Tristan and Isolde one of my all time fave movie 💖
you should watch Call Me By Your Name!
Loving Vincent is unique, Blade Runner 2049, Logan, The Big Sick and you have a cool list too.
You mention how hot Jude Law is in The Holiday but not the PERFECTION that is Mark Ruffalo in 13 Going on 30? C'mon, Sanne!
i love okja so much!! and i loved hearing about your favorite films! i'll definitely add a bunch of these to my to-watch list since i don't watch that many films BUT i'm hoping to watch more this year so yay :)) i've been wanting to watch Lady Bird so!!! badly!! hopefully i'll get a chance to see it soon.

Blade runner 2049 for sure! 😀 i was blown away by the movie. I can't wait to rewatch it once it's out on bluray
We have the same taste! YOU HAVE TO SEE THE SHAPE OF WATER IT'S BREATHTAKING
I think my favourite film last year was T2:Trainspotting, honourable mentions go to Hidden Figures, The Beguiled, Wind River, The Limehouse Golem and Battle of the Sexes.

the shape of water was definitely my favorite 2017 movie
I recommend I, Tonya! It's funnier than it should be and Margot Robbie is amazing!
Diane Morales i second this!
Okja is set in Korea!
Oh, there is no list and trailers in description box! 😭😂
+Olga Kovaliova haha sorry, I’ll add them tonight :)
I just realised.... You actually look so much like Saoirse Ronan????
Saoirse lloks like Sanne XD
My fav was Beauty and the Beast
1. Logan
2. Lion
3. Blade Runner 2049
4. Thor Ragnarok
5. Rogue One
My favourite has to be La la land ! It got out in France in January, and in my mind that movie is perfect :)
Have you seen The Greatest Showman already? it’s amazing!
Gwynne J My favorite film of 2017. What a joy!
My favourite was Columbus
so cute. :>)
First?
Blue shell
It was probably Beauty and the Best (Emma Watson live action) 🌹
Lol isn’t “favourite” misspelled in the title? It’s favorite, right?
People from europe and other regions spell it with a u 😁
+Emma Kudos it’s the English spelling!
