While Xavier Dolan fans are waiting patiently for the director’s upcoming “The Death and Life Of John F. Donovan,” he’s giving them some ideas of other movies to watch in the meantime. The filmmaker has shared his list of his favorite movies in 2017
Guillermo del Toro’s Top Ten Films Of 2017
While it’s unranked, it’s not a big surprise to see smash hit “It” on here, as Dolan positively adored the horror film (see below). Meanwhile, his taste for auteurs runs strong with selections by Guillermo del Toro, Steven Spielberg, Luca Guadagnino and Yorgos Lanthimos. The director also enjoyed the pitch black comedy of “Three Billboard Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” Meanwhile, we’re glad to see the terrific “Wind River” get some attention while being otherwise ignored all awards season long.
Check out his full commentary on each of the selected titles over at Indiewire.
