The Generic Top 10 Movies of 2017 List
To sound more profound, ‘the author of this list’ will refer to himself in the third person. He’ll start his generic list with a generic statement like 2017 was a good year for movies, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a cinema illiterate. Then a customary rant on how mainstream Hollywood movies suck and the superhero genre is dying (like Logan). It was a real challenge for this movie buff to pick ten movies from the total 50 movies he had seen last year.
Yes, the author of this list hasn’t seen that critically acclaimed movie or that famous movie by a famous director or that movie that’s the front-runner for Oscars, or that foreign language film that didn’t release in his country. But that didn’t stop him from making this generic Top 10 list. The sole purpose of this list is to prove that author is a cinephile and that his taste in movies is superior to yours. If your favorite movie didn’t make it to the list, you could cry about that in the comment section because that’s what it is for.
