The summer 2017 movie season stunk. My three favorites so far (in order) are Logan, Blade Runner 2049, and John Wick 2.

Looking forward to Star Wars. Not looking forward to Thor Ragnarok or Justice League (both look awful).

Hard to say, it's a tie between Wonder Woman & Spider-Man: Homecoming. I really love the both movies but if I gotta pick one, it's Wonder Woman for me :)

Wonder Woman get's the vote.

Blade Runner is flat out one of my favourite movies of this decade. Certainly the best sci-fi.

Dunkirk is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

I've never had Christopher Nolan disappoint me so far.

Wonder Woman, Dunkirk, and Logan. Haven't seen the new Blade Runner yet. Anyway I'm not voting because it's a three way tie.

It was a pretty bad year IMO. Most movies disappointed me. I'm going with Baby Driver, one of the few decent movies this year and it was made so perfectly well that I was really impressed

My top 3 favorites have been Logan, Baby Driver, and It. Any one of these could easily be number one for me but if I had to choose one it would narrowly be Logan.

You missed alot of very good movies including:

Split

Get Out

Life

Megan Leavey

Wind River

Stronger

I have seen 10 of the 17 movies you listed, here's my big 5 not in any order:

Logan

Guardians of the Galaxy

Megan Leavey

Wind River

Bladerunner 2049

each of these movies gets at least a 9 out of 10 rating for me. I can't decide completely but since I had the most fun at Guardians it gets my pick. I also enjoyed Dunkirk alot but ONLY when I watched it in imax.

Dunkirk was an amazing movie to watch at the theater, and a great film period. Baby Driver was also pretty good. Those are the only two 2017 movies I've seen.

I thought Dunkirk was a steaming pile of shit. Christopher Nolan's flaws as a screenwriter and filmmaker have been increasingly apparent the more he's moved away from the kiddie superhero genre. He always lacks three dimensional characters, and with the lack of characters blasting exposition this time, the non-chronological narrative was even more disjointed than before.

I maintain the only three good films he's made are Memento, The Prestige, and The Dark Knight, three films which contain simple, blockbuster-friendly stories that don't go over Nolan's unfortunately pretentious head.

-

Blade Runner 2049 is insanely good, and better than the overrated original. Villeneuve has impressed me with pretty much every film he's ever got his hands on: Sicario was most definitely channelling Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now; Arrival is just simply one of the greatest sci-fi films Hollywood has ever made; and with Blade Runner he actually makes a good film out of the world Phillip K. Dick invented and Ridley Scott visualised without really forming a complete film from it.

2049 is the rare film I didn't fall asleep in (I normally fall asleep in movies that are mediocre-to-really good. I stay awake if they're horribly bad or insanely excellent). It's also a rare film where I wasn't aware of the running time. And it's an even rarer film that I'm going to go and watch for a second time in the cinema.

Now if only it had invested in philosophical discussions a la Stalker and Solyaris, 2049 would have been within distance of achieving sci-fi immortality. But it makes the same decision (or fatal mistake?) to raise questions of ethics and metaphysics pertaining to what constitutes humanity, without ever really addressing them. So it falls just a tad short of all-time greatness.

From your list I've only seen Wonder Woman and Blade Runner. Blade Runner is better IMO but it was still disappointing for me as the sequel to the original. I think the movie I've seen this year that I liked the most was the adaptation of Stephen King's Gerald's Game. The movie is a great thriller.

I still need to see Baby Driver. However, I hope it's not one of those plots that try to make the audience sympathize for a bunch of selfish, greedy outlaws. Based on what I saw in the trailer, I know the protagonist himself wants to get out of it, but still has to work for those guys for whatever reason.
