This is the second year I’ve done the Blind Spot thing and I’ve really enjoyed it. I saw 24 great films these past two years! (Here’s my ranked list of my 2016 Blind Spot choices)
I think my choices were slightly stronger last year but I still really liked all of the below films except number 12 and I think the top 7 are especially brilliant.
So here are My 2017 Blind Spot Movies, (from my least favorite to my favorite):
12. The Last Temptation Of Christ
11. Altered States
10. The Raid
9. The King & I
8. House (Hausu) (1977)
7. The Hustler
6. Jackie Brown
1. Rocky
See you tomorrow for my ranked list of all the books that I read in 2017.

Quite a few here I still need to see, but I too watched Jackie Brown this year and… didn’t love it. I’d put it in the middle of the Tarantinos I’ve seen (which is most of them now).
I thought The Raid was quite good, but I bloody loved The Raid 2. It’s quite a different film — much longer and more epic — but still with all the bone-crunching action.
Aww. Jackie Brown grew on me. I liked it more the more I thought about it. But the soundtrack was a HUGE part of that. And I loved Pam Grier & the relationship with the detective guy. SO wanted them to hook up. But everything else about the movie was very weak. So, in a lot of ways, it certainly wasn’t Tarantino’s best. I really do want to see The Raid 2 ASAP! Waiting on the hubby since he wants to watch it too. 🙂
Man I love seeing The Untouchables so high. Just an all-time classic for me.
Agreed! I really liked that one. Deserves more credit than it seems to get!

Yeah, I really enjoyed my 2017 choices. And I’ll NEVER forget Hausu! That’s the kind of thing I like – something truly memorable. 🙂
