MY FAB FOUR FILMS of 2017

(Rated 20/5 ;)) 

Before this year ends I wanted to give a shout-out – so to speak – to four films which have wowed me this year! Unlike theatre I can see them again of course but for the record wanted to note them down on here for posterity with my initial reactions…
Blade Runner 2049
Wow wow wow and wow again!!!! Utterly Stupendous Experience in the company of G, Ryan and Harrison. Excellently Clever links to the original film. Fascinating Exploration of Identity through SciFi again. Superb Script. Amazing Acting. Very good VueXtreme and Comfy leather seats. Absolutely Fab-u-lous!!!
Paddington 2
Such a special day seeing Paddington 2 with one of my oldest friends and then to receive this lovely book as a Christmas gift!! Paddington and Dogs all teach us really important stuff
Star Wars VIII : The Last Jedi
Wow what an experience seeing this with G today. Thank you for being there with me! A really excellent film - back to great Star Wars quality and revolutionary in its own way as was A New Hope. A good powerful story with familiar welcome Star Wars themes. Very well acted by all concerned. And genuinely outstanding from Mark and Carrie - who both for me seemed to step up a gear or more. Carrie's performance the best I've ever seen her. I coped with the emotion til Leia says there's been too much loss - I totally broke down and so good to be able to hold G's hand n him mine! As widely stated - so not a spoiler - the next film was intended to focus more on Leia - and I can see where that could've been going - so absolutely devastating Carrie can't do it. What will they do for Leia now?! Though as her SciFi Twin said #AlwaysWithUs #CarrieOnForever
Dunkirk
Excellent suspenseful very real-feeling drama about this extraordinary event which literally changed the world and showing communal humanity against adversity. Filmed as much as was possible at Dunkirk itself and with authentic action, planes, ships and young men! Stunning.
