sic, what was your #1? don't remember seeing it in the results thread. (and thank you so much for doing this!)
Colossal, by Nacho Vigalondo. I was startled that this completely disappeared from cultural conversation, especially for the world of 2017. A film about medium-town America values, and a feeling of helplessness in the face of personal and world events, and especially about man-to-woman emotional manipulation and gaslighting, that also has big special effects and things being smashed. All built on a very tenuous metaphor that is nevertheless kept simple and unadorned enough to support the weight laden on it.
I had the fortune of going in knowing almost nothing about it, which really helped.
(You're welcome, Dan, and everyone else. It probably wasn't really worth staying up til 4am a couple of nights preparing, but the rollout was lots of fun, and I've got a bunch of new films to maybe watch on a television screen one day.)

Just saw Raw and The Levelling because of this thread. Loved both, especially the latter!

six months pass...
Finally saw Wind River. I assumed it would be on here--it was either that, or post to an Olsen Twins thread. Anyway, thought it was good. I liked Jeremy Renner in American Hustle, but I think this is the best performance I've seen by him. Elizabeth Olsen has been good in all three films I've seen her in.

two weeks pass...
There was a thread recently where there was some debate over when the year-end film poll should be. I thought it would have been here, but I guess not.
Anyway, I wanted to run a political-film poll this summer. Is is possible for the year-end to be over and done with before then?
