As always, this is my personal list of the movies I happened to see in 2017, and not what movies came out this year.
Best Movie I Saw This Year
I gave 10 stars to Best of Enemies, The French Revolution, and The Last Jedi.
The Last Jedi I was probably slightly too generous too--although it's still a really good movie, and I will defend it against all naysayers.
The French Revolution was fascinating, but almost more of a television mini-series than a movie.
So I'm giving the award to Best of Enemies. Granted, this totally reflects my own idiosyncrasies--my love of history, television, and political debate shows--someone else with different interests won't find it nearly as interesting.
Worst Movie I Saw This Year
I really hated Sing, but at least Sing was mildly entertaining. For a film that's awful and really boring, the award goes to Going in Style.
Addendum: TV Shows
* Star Trek Discovery: Episode 1. Brief Thoughts (I watched a few more episodes after episode 1, but I lost interest before the season finished.
