If you’re looking for my list of the best movies that came out this year, I wrote an extended one up over at INSIDER. I pretty much stand by it, except I’d add Phantom Thread, which I didn’t get to see by deadline. Here, too, you can read a list of great movies too many people missed. — This is something different. I watched 135 movies this year, and here are the outstanding ones that came out before 2017. I’m omitting the 2016 releases, which I wrote about here.
