And so here we have two lists: the Best Movies of 2017, following the strict imdb dating system, and the Best 2016 Movies of 2017, which includes those films from last year that you might find on a more chronologically-illogical list (and despite the title, also includes one film from 1985, which only premiered in New York this year). A number of the films on many critics’ halfway-point lists will include these films, films that find their proper home here on my 2016 list. But here at The End, we have a global reach.)Ī by-product of the system is that a number of films that first go into wide-release in any given year actually had their premiere in the year before. (A dating system reliant on playing in a certain locality I think can be valuable for a publication that is geographically specific, like a local newspaper or website, which is what we use at Seattle Screen Scene. That’s what we use here for all Rankings & Awards as it’s the most fair to all eras and areas. Far more logical (and much easier to use) is a system reliant on imdb’s dating system, which locates a film in whatever year it first played for an audience. ![]() As I discussed in the 2013 halfway post, the consensus movie-dating system is nonsensical and posits New York as the center of the universe. ![]() We are now halfway through the year and as has become an annual tradition here at The End, it’s time to look back at the best movies of the year so far.
