Films of the Year 2017

La La Land, and its ancestor Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.


Cameron Crowe's TV series Roadies.

Le Havre. Our first Aki Kaurismaki won't be our last.

Dunkirk.

The Nice Guys. Ryan Gosling has great comic timing in Shane Black screenplay.

Victoria. Tom Hughes is great, but the chemistry between Jenna Elfman and Rufus Sewell sizzled.

American Honey. Andrea's still got it.

Baby Driver. Their Finest. The Hippopotamus. Carol. Sully. I, Daniel Blake

Sparkle.

Norman for no other reason that the scene between Richard Gere and Michael Sheen is the year's best bit of acting. And Hayley Mills in Sky West and Crooked.

Noah Baumbach films and Greta Gerwig.

Belle.

My Darling Clementine.

Not seen in an age: Leon. The Cider House Rules. Get Shorty. Cookie's Fortune. Shakespeare in Love. Love Soup.

On TV, special mention to Solomon Grey for the music in The Last Post. And to W1A for being generally hilarious and endlessly quotable.
