This page lists 24 films I saw in theaters in 2017. My movie database lists only films I see in theaters, not those I see on TV, videotape, DVD, or the internet. My culture page lists other cultural events.
Highlights 2017 to date:
- Three great films in one fabulous San Francisco Silent Film Festival day at the Castro: Tol'able David, a compelling glimpse into America's bucolic but troubled past with a wonderful performance by Richard Barthemess; Lubitsch's delightful Lady Windermere's Fan; and William Dieterle's Sex in Chains, a fascinating complex plot beautifully acted.
- And the very next day, at the charming Rafael in San Rafael, Keaton's Spite Marriage, which (amazingly) I'd not seen before; it's not highly rated by critics, but I just loved it, a wonderful plot and some of his most hilarious stunts.
I have kept movie date/title/director data consistently since 1982, with additional details since 2010. I also have some incomplete data from earlier years.
