Beta's Top Ten Favorite Movies of 2017

I pretty much fell off the blog in 2017. I ended up losing a job, getting a new job, starting a new relationship, and ultimately spending months in sheer terror as I panicked over what I was doing with my life. So updating a blog that I do not get paid for didn’t feel like a priority. But I’m still a stickler for tradition and my favorite one associated with this blog is my annual Top Ten Favorite Movie list. It’s a new year so let's go for it.

Same rules as always: this is a list of my favorite flicks, not necessarily the best ones as I’m unqualified to make that judgement. Also, I can only react to the movies I actually saw so there’s always a chance that I missed your favorite movie and that’s why it’s not on the list (or maybe I didn’t like it; whatever). If you are really up in arms about it feel free to post your own Top Ten list in the comments.

One thing I want to point out before we get started: The Last Jedi absolutely was on this list at#10 but was bumped of earlier on the day I’m writing this after seeing the current #5 film. Though it didn’t end up on the list I want to point out that I really enjoyed that movie and strongly believe it’s one of the best outings in the Star Wars franchise precisely because of how different it feels from a Stars Wars movie. Frankly, I do not understand why so many people hate it much.

My favorite movies after the jump.
