For me, Chasing Amy hands down. Several great films rivaled it that year, but in the end, Kevin Smith is the man. Beautiful picture.

Nice race going between 3 very well-deserving films...
1) L.A. Confidential (5.5 votes)
2) Boogie Nights / Sweet Hereafter (5 votes each)
The 1996 Thread is now open here.
Keep the votes coming!

I'm going to get bashed for this... but...
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Yeah, you all see it as a stupid cashin sequal, but I see it as a smart film that is better then the first one.
Gattaca, Boogie Nights and La Confidential are also great films too...
I've not seen Ice Storm, it's in my DVD player about to be watch in an hour or so.

I'd say my top three are
Chasing Amy
L.A. Confidential
Boogie Nights
And by the narrowest of margins, I'd say Boogie Nights was the best of the three and thus the best of '97. Tough call!

I throw in LA Confidential in for another vote. That scene in which the tension builds where Russel Crowe is gripping that chair and then just
Spoiler:
Nothing beats that, that year.
