1997 Films Reviewed

NOTE: Don't expect this page to fill up too quickly - as I write this, in early March, only one 1997 movie has washed up on my rather remote shores, with no more in prospect for the next month or so. If you're new to the site and wondering why it's all taking so long, more is explained on the 1996 Movies page - where you'll also find a general guide to the ratings and what they mean.

Due to overwhelming popular demand (I was overwhelmed, I tell ya) it is now possible to see a list of all these 1997 Films Ranked by Rating. Hey, whatever turns you on...
