While we may all be scrambling to fit as many 2017 films in before we turn the calendar and our attention over to 2018, the calendar itself is very close to moving on without us. With that in mind, I have compiled my own watchlist, trying to be as exhaustive as I can to include all films which should be of interest to this group. I for sure have missed a few. Release dates are tentative, of course, and I am sure many of these won't see 2018 release.
