So let's take a moment to recall and list which films have been your favorites so far this year.


So far my list is:
The Promise
Gifted
Colossal
Megan Leavey
John Wick 2
Brimstone is listed as 2016, but has a release date in 2017, so including it.
The Mummy
Baywatch (not because of greatness, but due to not much else better)


As I look at it, none of the ones I was most looking forward to have panned out. I was hoping to list 10 films, but either they have been lame so far, or I already forgot some good ones. Help remind me.

I like your list, here are my picks:

Wonder Woman
Logan

The above movies top my list as 1 and 1A, both excellently done with very minor flaws, but the best so far this year - bar none.

Hidden Figures
Colossal
John Wick 2

And that's pretty much it. Now, mind you, I have yet to see a couple of films that you have listed, but I will make it a point to see this summer and will revise my list further down the road.

Here are the ones I haven't seen:

The Promise
Gifted
Megan Leavey
Brimstone
The Mummy
Baywatch

Out of these I think I will be watching Gifted, Megan Leavey and maybe The Mummy.
As for the rest - Netflix.

It's good for Google searches I guess.

I was thinking you could tell us your name so we could all make fun of it.

Last night I saw Gal Gadot on Jimmy Kimmel's show. It may have been a rerun, she said she had just had her second kid 2 months before. Anyhow, Jimmy pronounced her name like "Gaul (or Gol) Guh-DOTE" and did so several times with her present, and she did not indicate this was incorrect.

I was thinking Godot was pronounced "GO-doe" by comparison.

Meehof. Jack Meehof. Looks great on a resume. My parents were real comedians.



I haven't used etymology symbols for a long time, so without looking them up I'm not exactly getting if you got Godot right. But I actually HAVE heard that name pronounced, not only by a college professor, but in the version Burgess Meredith was in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348334/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_134. It's definitely not pronounced the way you're saying that he was pronouncing her last name.


I don't keep up much with any current events, especially celebrity stuff. I haven't even watched a late night show in over a decade.

Yeah, you're right. She pronounces it ga-DOT (as in polka dot).

Yeah, the Jimmy was pronouncing like polka dot except dote instead of dot. He said it several times, standing right beside her, so I don't know why she didn't correct him while at commercial. Maybe she was just too polite.

You're right, she is too polite. Remember, she is just beginning to feel the affect she's having on people worldwide. She's such a cutie and very down to earth and, about a year ago she was jumping for joy of her being cast as Wonder Woman. And now has been thrust into the crazy world of Hollywood. She has not been spoiled yet with fame going to her head (I hope she stays sweet and charming).

Yesterday a bit part player; today a mega star from doing a fantastic job as Wonder Woman (I love her accent, her charming personality and total commitment to the role). You don't get many like her. Personally, I don't think she will ever get spoiled by Hollywood.

Yeah... That's just about how you pronounce Godot, just a silent T on the end, so me and Jimmy were close there.

I've never seen her perform or just off screen at all. I've only seen a few pictures here and there. Pretty girl. She's probably a just a little timid because this is all new to her now. She'll probably be more assertive now that she's becoming a name all over the world. Hopefully she doesn't let the fame get to her head.

Was that her first appearance on a big show like Kimmel? I had problems doing speeches in front of a class of around 30 in high school. Something like a late night show and I'd be like a deer in headlights.

The last Fast and Furious movie I saw was the first one. lol. I hear they're pretty good. Maybe I should put them on my watch list.

Jimmy probably doesn't have a huge studio audience, but I'm sure anybody knows that it's going to be watched by millions of people too. I don't think too many people outside of Israel watch Miss Israel. I could be wrong about that.

The first F&F was likely the best. 2 & 3 held up OK. Tokyo Drift jumped the shark. Hard to keep track after that. Gal's first was probably her best exposition of the franchise. I mostly was drawn by Jordana.

I actually thought the first one was pretty great at the time I saw it, and I never had a thing for cars. That was a time in my life when I was still pretty big into movies. Then they made the Tokyo Drift sequel that I wasn't interested in at all and by the time they started making all sorts of crazy sequels to it with the original cast I just really wasn't watching a lot of movies anymore.

lol... now that I think about it... I might end up binge watching all of them at some point. It's practically like a TV show at this point, which is my preferred medium now.

Wonder Woman - still tops my list
Logan - damn good movie
John Wick 2
Atomic Blond
Colossal
Hidden Secrets
Baby Driver
Alien: Covenant

Out of the above, only Hidden Secrets may have an Oscar contender: Taraji P. Henson, Best Supporting Actor.
The rest were highly entertaining and well put together films; professional, slick with solid storylines and good acting. Were they without their flaws? no, but minor in comparison to the overall films.

Let's see what The Last Jedi has to offer.

OK. I won't put your unseen Best Films in the OP list until after you've seen them.
But you could post them in the must-see films thread, for films that haven't been seen yet.


I felt Colossal was charming enough to entertain Award hopes.

Brimstone is listed as 2016, but has a release date in 2017, so including it.
The Mummy
Baywatch (not because of greatness, but due to not much else better)


As I look at it, none of the ones I was most looking forward to have panned out. I was hoping to list 10 films, but either they have been lame so far, or I already forgot some good ones. Help remind me.



Other films mentioned in this thread:
Logan
Wonder Woman
Hidden Figures (released 2016)
Transformers 5: The Last Knight
Spiderman
Autopsy of Jane Doe
The Belko Experiment
Dark Tower
Logan Lucky

Alright, the year has ended. I expect there are some browncoats who enjoy films.
So share what you liked, hopefully about 10 selections. If you have a dozen, or only a few worthy candidates, that's fine.
Award worthy works, or just entertaining, like Bill and Ted or Ferris Bueler

I'll try to whittle down my list.
I have not yet seen Thor 3, Shape of Water, 3 Billboards, Snowman.

Getting close to halfway through the year. At the end of the calendar, sometimes it is hard to recall all the great films from the early part of the year, getting overshadowed by the summer blockbusters and award season royalty.
So let's take a moment to recall and list which films have been your favorites so far this year.


So far my list is:
The Promise
Gifted
Colossal
Megan Leavey
John Wick 2
Brimstone is listed as 2016, but has a release date in 2017, so including it.
The Mummy
Baywatch (not because of greatness, but due to not much else better)


As I look at it, none of the ones I was most looking forward to have panned out. I was hoping to list 10 films, but either they have been lame so far, or I already forgot some good ones. Help remind me.



Other films mentioned in this thread:
Logan
Wonder Woman
Hidden Figures (released 2016)
Transformers 5: The Last Knight
Spiderman
Autopsy of Jane Doe
The Belko Experiment
