2017: The year in music and movies.
Sara and I stayed up until midnight last night putting together a puzzle and watching Speed (our New Year's Eve tradition). We tried to time it so that the bus jumped over the gap in the freeway right at midnight (like we did back here), but we were a few minutes off. Today we're planning to make cheese dip and brownies.
I always post a lot of lists at the beginning of a new year. I'll start with the songs I listened to most and movies I watched.

Young Actress Movies of 2017
1) Annabelle: Creation (2017), Talitha Bateman, Lulu Wilson, and others * (* = saw in theaters)

12) Twentieth Century Women (2016), Elle Fanning
Other movies of 2017: Allied, Arrival, Beauty and the Beast (I've decided Emma Watson and Saoirse Ronan are grown up now, which is why this and Lady Bird aren't in the young-actress category), The Big Sick, The Bye Bye Man, The Edge of Winter, The Face of Love, Finding Dory, Their Finest, Get Out, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, It Comes at Night, Jackie, Lady Bird*, The Light Between Oceans (this movie and a few others had young actresses in them, but I didn't think the roles were big enough to qualify for the young-actress category), Lion, Manchester by the Sea, A Monster Calls, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Wonder Woman, The Zookeeper's Wife.
These lists last year are all back here.
