Go ahead, but you should very obviously, preferably in bold and italics, disclaim it's your list of movies you've seen in 2017, as opposed to list of movies that debuted in 2017. The comprehension of many of these forum members is extraordinarily lacking and you need to spoonfeed that to them.

You should also make sure to have a fondness for frogs beforehand in case things go south, though you're already a frog yourself so that seems taken care of.

So, theoretically then, to compress the analogy somewhat, would it be acceptable to include say, The Grand Budapest Hotel in my list of top movies for 2017, having seen it this year and being summarily impressed by it in contrast to the theatrically released fare of the calendar year? At what threshold of years does the analogy become disproportionate? I have watched the aforementioned Aldrich film this year for the first time, but would its inclusion in a theoretical post in 12 months time be preposterous or perfectly acceptable in your proposed system?
Your personal list of top ten movies of 2017 can include any movie regardless of when it came out, assuming your list doesn't specify it's a top ten of movies that came out in 2017. Even if you do specificy that it's time sensitive, then depending on the scenario, it may be acceptable to break the aforementioned critera in an example such as you had missing a December release from last year but had seen it in the year of your list.

You also seem to doubt that people consistently bend the rules of these types of lists, even in the where it's time sensitive. I see examples of it all the time, but the most recent off the top of my head is Gamespot's best of 2017 awards excluding PUBG because they only considered games before December 20th or a similar date to that. PUBG they said would be eligible for their best of 2018 awards despite it coming out the year before.

Yes, you've already lost the ability to post meaningful comments, use apostrophes, punctuate, and capitalize letters.
