2017filmranking2I remember years when getting a dozen fantasy and science fiction films was impressive. 2017 gave us 59. Yeah, if you look carefully you might find another or three, but I think I’ve done my share so this is my final ranking for the year. And its been a good year not only for having so many genre films, but having so many good ones. Yes, there are more bad than good, but there are always more bad than good films.

I’ve already created a list of the 10 Best Films of 2017 and the 10 Worst Films of 2017. In the case of the second, it doesn’t match this list because here I’m including all the F&SF films I’ve seen, where that list focuses on the garbage that deserves the focus, that is, big budget or widely released films.

Unless stated otherwise, the titles link to my review.
