In anticipation of 2018’s year-end lists I looked back at the 2017 audience lists and thought I’d do a little math to make a consensus top ten. There were 5 & 1/2 submitters: @sinnick, @Richard_Holt, @anonymgeist, @marquac, and myself offered a top ten; @Shimarenda provided a top four. I used the simple 10 points for #1, 1 point for #10 scale (4 points #1 on down for Shimarenda), and then also chose to eliminate movies that only one person picked. This only effected me and anonymgeist: my #1 Lovesong would have been 10, and my #2 20th Century Women tied with Thor: Ragnarok; anonymgeist’s #2 Nocturama also tied with Thor.
So, here is the list, with the point totals, as well as the number of lists they appeared on out of the 6:
1.Logan (31 points, 4 lists)
2.Lady Bird (29 points, 5 lists)
3.Blade Runner 2049 (26 points, 4 lists)
4.Dunkirk (21 points, 3 lists)
5.Atomic Blonde (16 points, 2 lists)
6.Free Fire (13 points, 3 lists)
t 7.Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri (12 points, 3 lists)
t 7.The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (12 points, 2 lists)
9.Get Out (11 points, 2 lists)
10.Thor: Ragnarok (9 points, 2 lists)
Lady Bird appeared on the most lists, and by the sound of it may have been on every list, and been number one, had Mr. Geist seen it.
It’s a very small sample size, but there is your Qt3 Non-Podcaster 2017 Best Achievement in Film Awards. Hopefully this will inspire a few more people to chime in for 2018 if they think they can put together some sort of list.
