"Hidden Figures" was my hands-down favorite for 2016. It's only flaw was that they kind of made the bathroom situation a joke in the first half of the movie, but they recovered big time.
As for 2017, that's not easy because most of the meatier stuff hasn't come out yet. Most of what I've seen and liked have been the shallower summer blockbusters. That said, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" was even better than the original. "Wonder Woman" was pretty spectacular too. Of course it wasn't super deep or well-plotted. It was just fun and surprisingly feminist (in the good way, not the insane way). Her outfit was more modest than the original, yet still showed off Gal Gadot. She wasn't easily shushed and was definitely the hero of the film. (I half expected they would have her need rescuing from one of the male leads, but they didn't go that route.)
You?
