Favorites of 2017

Lots of people are saying it's been a very good year in Cinema. But, I didn't feel that much. Yes, I still have not seen many films of this year, but yes I had high expectations from whatever I have seen. Sometimes I feel Awards are overrated and unnecessary, so I will name only favorites this year.
