He would be first past...

I regrettably have yet to see the majority of critically-acclaimed and award-nominated films from the end of 2017 that I suspect I'd really enjoy (The Post, Three Billboards, Phantom Thread, The Shape of Water, Call Me By Your Name, I, Tonya, Lady Bird, Florida Project and so many more), so I'll go with what I did see and admire:

2017
Personal Shopper
Baby Driver
Wind River
Wonder Woman
Dunkirk
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
The Big Sick
John Wick: Chapter 2
Raw
The Blackcoat's Daughter
The Autopsy Of Jane Doe
Brawl in Cell Block 99

In closing, this was quite the fun thread to contribute to; good night and good luck to all the frequent posters and moviegoers here!
