2017 JWD awards

Welp. It's February. Modern Cinema and Mostly British are on, so my time to catch up on 2017 films is limited. I'll go with what I've got, and hopefully catch a few more before March 4th.

A few things got some year-end recognition aren't properly out till 2018, so I'm saving these for next year: The Rider, Paddington 2, and The Death of Stalin.
