The folding of IMDb message board has put a damper on my movie viewing for awhile. Other than films from 2016 which I saw mostly in January and February or films from this year which I saw mostly in the last 2 months, I saw only 2 other films. Both are very good movies:
Murder on the Orient Express (1974) - I also saw the 2017 version. I like the the 1974 version much more.
This Gun for Hire (1942)

Along Came Jones (1945)
A humorous satire on Westerns - more subtle than madcap.
Ironically, Gary Cooper would go on to make MANY more westerns, including his Oscar-winning role in High Noon (1952).

I mostly watched shorts during 2017 and I enjoyed 90% of them. I don't think I have any favourites. I also watched some features and I think I enjoyed 90% of them as well. Again, I don't think I have any favourites. I was lucky that there were few films I disliked during 2017....
