MY TOP TWELVE MOVIES OF 2017!


Two things any recent followers of this page should know about me: I am always LAST with my Top Ten Movie List, and ... I'm always a little different. This year, for example, I expanded the list to 12 (mainly because I could re-arrange the last six on the list and not be upset). Also, I managed to miss 3 importnat movies: Get Out; The Florida Project; and The Last Jedi (unforgiveable!). For a self-described foreignfilmguy, having only one movie in a foreign language on my list is likewise unforgiveable!
TOP 12 MOVIES
1) DUNKIRK
2) Lady Bird
3) Frantz (FRANCE)
4) Call Me By Your Name
5) All the Money in the World
6) The Shape of Water
7) Wind River
