I haven't seen many movies this year, but Wonder Woman is probably the best movie so far, and it's the best superhero movie since Captain America: Winter Soldier. I probably would rank it just behind The Dark Knight, Winter Soldier, the first Avengers movie, and tied with The Dark Knight Rises. And I say this as a huge Marvel movie fan. | |

Since I have seen none of the movies on your list, I will rate "Animal house" as the best movie of the year. Or any year, for that matter. | |

...OK, not trying to rain on you guys' parade or anything.... - but doesn't anyone feel that Hollywood should put out stuff for older people as well...? | |

They do. The Beguiled, IANYN, etc. You have to look for it amongst the islly blockbusters but they are out there. Not as much because ppl dont go to them so they get not much advertising. [Edited 7/9/17 11:49am] "Climb in my fur." | |

Why can't older people enjoy movies like Pirates of the Caribbean or Wonder Woman or whatever? There's no age limit for movies. A good movie is a good movie, regardless of age. | |

OK what is your age range you are talking about?? Honestly alot of the movies are from Generation X's child hood, Transformers/Smurfs. Wonder Woman is been around for over 70 years now. | |

Because they're old and old people don't like things like that. My mom and stepdad used to go to the cinema every Friday night but there's nothing they wanted to see at all this year. | |

I'm sure some old people like things like that. Just because you reach a certain age shouldn't detract from your sense of fun. The people who went to see the likes of Jaws, Star Wars and the Christopher Reeve Superman movies in the cinema are likely old now. If they enjoyed those movies when they were younger, why can't they enjoy Wonder Woman and other modern movies like that now? | |

They do......I'm 56 and have been a comic-book/sci-fi geek since my childhood. I'm so happy Marvel & DC characters are getting the right treatment on the big screen, thanks to technology.
The next three years are going to be insane (Thor/Ragnarok, Justice League, Star Wars, Avengers/Infinity War, Black Panther, The Batman, Godzilla/King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs Kong, etc.),,,,,,,doesn't get any better than that. | |

I wonder how much we shut each other down from realizing more by reducing others to the stereotypical worst of us? Beyond never forgetting that spark that started us all or not expanding much beyond a childhood so deeply loved, if people are enjoying themselves, it would seem the perfect opportunity to be taught, not reject. | |

LOL. I can very much appreciate that. Allow me to attempt a slightly different, less out-of-the-blue tact (not so bleeding philosophical). There are a lot of cool, really intelligent people to learn from around here on countless topics, even if much of the time it can be rather chaotic and demeaning. | |

There are still good non-action based movies being made that appeal to people who don't like super heroes, sci-fi, horror, action movies. Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Tarantino, Christopher Nolan etc have made some great movies over the last few years and they've got some great looking movies on the horizon. And there are lots of great, under the radar movies that's come out over the last 10 years. The problem is not that these movies aren't getting made, it's just that they're not advertised to the same degree as the bigger movies. | |

Remove the commas and you'd have a great title for a movie. It could be a mash-up of the actual movies. | |

i think it's true, and i believe this is pretty broadly acknowledged within the movie industry, that there has been something of a collapse in the 'mid-range' movie, much of that being attributable to the decline of the dvd/rental market. we're in a state where we see a large amount of enormous-scale, fairly safe, occasionally pandering blockbusters, and we still have a fairly good supply of sundance-ie independent stuff for those snobs among us, but there seems to be less of the midrange, adult, ambitious film.
