the great movies of 2017 ("purchasing for my collection")

This list is limited to the movies I watched in theaters. If there is no link on the title of the movie, that means I didn't write a full review for it, so I just shared a few thoughts on it. Click through the linked movies to read my full reviews, though! These are categorized in alphabetical order, and for more info on the somewhat self-explanatory categories, click here to read more about them. Thanks for reading and make sure to let me know what you think about the list and my choices, and we can discuss!

PURCHASING FOR MY COLLECTION

AMERICAN MADE


DARKEST HOUR

Incredible performance by Oldman, nailing the subtle moments, but too many "I'M ACTING RIGHT NOW" scenes. The rest of the movie is decent, liked the cinematography choices.






I, TONYA

An amazingly showy performance film. Loved the angle the movie took, but didn't like the music drops, making it feel very episodic and therefore longer.
