WS Fave Five Series~! - Movies of 1997

[Death By Looch]

Welcome to the WS Fave Five Series!
In this Series we'll determine the favorites of our community. Be it Movies, TV Shows, Actors and Actresses or maybe Video Games or Songs or Bands.
Pretty much everything is possible. For the very first edition I decided to go back exactly 25 years to find the favorite Movies of WS from the year 1997.

How does it work?
It's really simple. You make your list of your five favorite Films of 1997 and send it to me via a DM with #1 being your favorite, #2 being your second favorite and so on. I'll tally up all your lists (a Film gets 50 points for a #1 spot, 40 points for a #2 spot, 30 for #3, 20 for #4 and 10 for #5 on each list) and present all Movies that got points as a Countdown in this very thread.

For this one only Films with a release between January 1st 1997 and December 31st 1997 are eligible.
If you are not sure about the release date of a Film, look at the Wikipedia article for the Movie, because I will also use that as a reference.

Deadline for sending in your list is Saturday, January 29nd, 2021.

If you have questions about all of this, please feel free to ask them here in the thread.

What an awesome initiative. Can’t wait to see the results. Perfect excuse to rewatch some classics.

Can you post a list of what was in theaters in 1997? I know I can look it up but it'll probably help everyone in the thread.

I put a couple of Wikipedia articles in the opening post, Kif. The first one is a list of pretty much the biggest movies that came out that year, sorted by the date they came out. The second one is an alphabetical list of notable releases and the third one is the big Wikipedia list.

You can say that again. This is going to be a toughie, think The Game by David Fincher is likely to make mine. That movie was so cool first time I saw it with the plot twists

I'll be straight up. Princess mononoke came in 97 so that's mine but there are so many good ones. Even cult faves like starship troopers

Donnie Brasco is really good. Al Pacino's other roles get more attention, but it's one of my favourite performances by him
