I can't find it, but it was one of those endless polls about best lawn chairs from a guy's collection as displayed on Youtube. It had more charm and intrigue than many films

on Get Out:
I loved this. the comedy was great. I feel like Peele's plot developments were a bit familiar (I mean it was v similar to the plot of that shit movie The Skeleton Key which wasn't exactly original when it came out) but twists weren't the point really.I liked the cheesy over the top horror moments like the evil latin music while Bradley Whitford was ...uhh....doing something that I won't reveal.― Neanderthal, March 1, 2017

Thanks to all the voters, thanks to all the posters in this thread, thanks to everyone who's typed about these films on ILX over the last three calendar years that they've been in cinemas, and big thanks and best cheers to Gukbe.
If people who like posting their full ballots could do so here: BALLOTS: Ragnarok - ILM 2017 film poll ballot recycling , that would be helpful - full ballots make the results threads difficult to use afterwards. Please do argue here about other peoples taste, and say things like "I can't believe A Heavy Burden didn't get higher, it was my #24" in this thread though!
One big change in the results that the delay of the poll caused: a film that only showed in two cities for two weeks in 2017 moved from #2 to #1, possibly due to more people being able to see it once it was released.

That plus the pilot episode of The Boondocks. It was still great though. Phantom Thread must be doing something impressive to win out? I'm still too residually put off by Inherent Vice to have tried watching it yet.

this is such a trite morbsian false dichotomy, but even so, to engage it as if it were in fact the thrust of the matter: the disregard for whether a movie was a well or badly executed effort of or against its obvious genre classification in order to lobby for the right *type* of movie is a large element of these results
tactical voting is of course the other disgrace. amazing thing for an adult to be doing in ths context.
for an ILE poll on ILF subject matter, its all very ILM

I missed the last part of the countdown. I loved CMBYN, it was my #1. It seemed like more of a period movie than anything speaking to the contemporary world. I thought Oliver was supposed to be a kind of cardboard cutout…the whole cycle of infatuation, romance, and rejection seemed like an extreme act of projection on the part of Elio. Chalamet gave the best performance of the year I thought.
I saw this at the Castro in the middle of the day with other mostly older people/retirees. It was the loveliest moviegoing experience I’ve had in quite a while

Out all day, just catching up with the last 20. Thanks for picking this up, sic. Very surprised that Twin Peaks wasn't higher.
I don't see any other lists, but here's mine (I stopped where I would've started listing films I was closer to ambivalent about--somewhere between 7.0s and 6.5s).
1. 20th Century Women2. The Vietnam War3. Ex Libris4. Citizen Jane5. Dawson City: Frozen Time6. The Jazz Loft According to W. Eugene Smith7. Certain Women8. The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography9. Beatriz at Dinner10. California Typewriter11. The Florida Project12. Mansfield 66/67
I didn't see my #1 until well into 2017, and the official release date on IMDB is January 2017 in both Canada and the States.
