Alright you guys... First of all thank you for sending in so many lists already. I'm going to expand the deadline to next Saturday, because I also changed the bit about only North American releases, since I immediately got multiple lists with films on them, that didn't have a NA release in 1997, but were released in that year in their country of origin.

So... I want to give everyone a chance to take a second look at their lists, in case you were only looking for North American releases.

I definitely can confirm I missed the NA releases bit lmao, I just picked anything I liked a lot from 1997. Thanks for changing it Looch, although I think mine might have been good regardless

I had to put in Selena played by JLO in 97. She had passed away two Years prior so the Wounds were still open from her passing in my Community and I miss her to this day. She would owning the Music Business today because she heading towards going into more American Music and I think she would of been really successful. Thank you JLO capturing Selena so perfectly.

Looch, I appreciate you for that Beverly Hills Ninja nod. It was a pretty funny movie. I enjoy it. Doesn't take itself too seriously.

When I saw it was released in 97, I had to include it... even if that meant to drop a couple of pretty amazing films (most of them got some love though, so not too sad about those). Chris Farley deserves to be in as many of these lists as possible.
