What’s interesting is that the biggest movie of the year – Beauty and the Beast – got 2 points from just one vote. Of the biggest movies released in 2017 so far, The Fate of the Furious, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, The Boss Baby and Fifty Shades Darker didn’t make it into the list either.
Here’s what just missed out:
11. Split
12. Free Fire
13. The LEGO Batman Movie
14. The Mummy
15. Lost City of Z
And here’s what each of our writers voted for as their favourite film of 2017 so far:
Tom Beasley – Get Out
Luke Owen – Kong Skull Island
Andy Naylor – Logan
Shaun Munro – Logan
Thomas Harris – The Lost City of Z
Chris Cooper – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Ben Robins – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Samuel Brace – Silence

Harrison Abbott – Logan
Matt Spencer-Skeen – Get Out
Jordan J Jones – Logan
Liam Hoofe – Lady Macbeth
Kieran Fisher – John Wick: Chapter 2

Logan may have topped this list, but it’s going to face stiff competition from some big movies still to come in 2017 including Spider-Man: Homecoming, War for the Planet of the Apes, Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Dunkirk and The Emoji Movie. Well, maybe not the last one.
