So I've come to an end of another year in cinema and overall this was a great year for cinema and there were at least 50 films out the ones I've seen that I loved. Lady Bird really stood out to me however it's not to say that there wasn't a close contest for what I considered the top film of the year. Before I end discussing the best of film in 2017, I have to post what I consider to be my top 10 films of the year in terms of their ranking. Also, I will provide a recap of the winners, nominees and nomination/win counts.
1. Lady Bird
2. Personal Shopper
3. The Beguiled
4. A Ghost Story
5. Lovesong
6. Dunkirk
7. Phantom Thread
8. Lady Macbeth
9. Call Me By Your Name
10. Mudbound
For all those who even took time to read any of these posts I appreciate it because as a major film buff I go into each movie hoping it is the greatest thing and while most are not I still cannot deny the experience of going to the cinema is something I'll never forget. Goodbye to you all and I'll see you again in 2018 to celebrate the best of 2018 in cinema.
