For some reason I thought I posted this a while back, but it looks like I didn’t. So here are my top 25 films of 2017, several months late.
25. The Babysitter
24. I, Tonya
23. Thelma

Rules: Only two per artist (not including features). So yes, that makes this not my true top 101, but I do like all of these songs and think variety is very important in any songs list.
101. Jens Lekman feat. LouLou Lamotte, “To Know Your Mission”
100. Beach Fossils, “This Year”
99. Laura Marling, “Always This Way”
98. Mogwai, “Coolverine”
97. Moses Sumney, “Lonely World”
96. Spoon, “Can I Sit Next To You”
95. Kelela, “LMK”
15. Mr. Robot, “eps3.5_kill-pr0cess.inc”
14. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, “I Never Want to See Josh Again”
13. Veep, “Blurb”
I cheated with some of these.
15. TIE: Timothy Olyphant, “Santa Clarita Diet” and Andy Daly, “Review” – Daly would be much higher if he didn’t have only an hour of screen time this year, but I figured I’d still sneak him on here somehow. It may not seem like it at first, but he actually gives one of the most psychologically complex performances on television. As for Olyphant…I just love Olyphant, and he’s a ton of fun in “Santa Clarita Diet”.
Welcome back for another round of year end lists. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be releasing a bunch of television, film, and music lists. Hope you agree, disagree, and learn about new things.
Rules: EPs allowed, soundtracks not allowed, album has to be released in 2017 and entirely made up of new material (so no Sufjan, Beach House, Conor Oberst, Radiohead, etc. even though any new songs are eligible for the songs list)
30. The xx, “I See You”
29. Zola Jesus, “Okovi”
28. Vagabon, “Infinite Worlds”
27. Alex Cameron, “Forced Witness”
26. Jay-Z, “4:44”
