As seems to be a tradition on every blog in the world, my top 10 movies of 2017 are below - along with a few memories of them. I didn't get to the cinema as often as I would have liked this year, but it was still a good year for film enjoyment.

Here's my top 10 - links are to IMDB for more info:

- [Baby Driver](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3890160/?ref%5F=fn%5Fal%5Ftt%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- I loved the amazing syncopated action and dialogue, and the high octane car chases. I know it's not cool to like Kevin Spacey anymore, but I cannot take away from the fact this film was a lot of fun.
- [Manchester by the Sea](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4034228/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsr%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- Great script, sad story and some incredible acting made this a highlight for me. I can play the pivotal scene back in my head and still find it catches my breath. (I know this was a 2016 film, but I didn't see it until early this year)
- [Dunkirk](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5013056/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsr%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- Visually interesting and with an awe-inspiring soundtrack and sound design. I was impressed with the way that Christopher Nolan told the three stories.
- [Logan](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3315342/?ref%5F=fn%5Fal%5Ftt%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- Not the last of this franchise, but certainly the most *human* of the mutant stories. Incredible debut by Dafne Keen.
- [Return to Montauk](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5247776/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsr%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- Caught this gentle story on a plane, excellent acting and a great script.
- [Victoria and Abdul](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5816682/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsr%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- Brilliantly funny story about a Queen forming an unusual friendship with an Indian clerk.
- [Atomic Blonde](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2406566/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsr%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- High action, high style cold war action movie with some amazing stunts and effects.
- [War for the Planet of the Apes](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3450958/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsr%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- much, much better than I expected. A great end to a trilogy of modern 'apes' movies. The motion capture stuff still impresses me.
- [Wonder Woman](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451279/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsr%5F2&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- stupid, funny romp from one of the best superheroes.
- [Ghost in the Shell](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219827/?ref%5F=nv%5Fsr%5F1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) \- Perfect soldier, cyber-enhanced, future dystopian world... what's not to love?
