Riley’s Favorite Films of 2017

Ok so we finished out 2017. I’m glad I survived, it was wild here on this end. How about you? Well, along the way I managed to watch a lot of movies. I made this list to show the ones I liked.

Also, I got into a new format here at my blog of shorter reviews (100-300 words) and I got serious about podcasting at the Damien Riley Podcast. The format there is 5 minute film reviews. As you can see, I was busy. The films below were quite enjoyable to me. They are in no particular order because I would have to force that so I decided against it. When I did a podcast on a film, I put the player there for interested ears. Have you seen the whole list? Which did you enjoy in 2017? Please leave me comments!
