I got nothing this year. Nothing really stands out. I think the Yoda/Luke scene came the closest.

 Re: Favorite movie scenes/sequences of 2017
Limiting myself to ten:
- Bobby (Willem Dafoe) scaring away the potential pedophile in The Florida Project
- The futuristic city and the wagon-train past in A Ghost Story
- Percy Fawcett and son's final capture and the ensuing ceremony in The Lost City of Z ("So much of life is a mystery, my boy. We know so little of this world, but you and I have made a journey that other men cannot even imagine...and it has given understanding to our hearts")
- The downsizing procedure in Downsizing
- The last 10 minutes of Good Time, from the finale in the apartment building to the end-credits scene with the brother in the residential facility
- The "ménage à trois" (two humans, one A.I.) in Blade Runner 2049--everything to do with the Ana de Armas character is so much more compelling than everything to do with Deckard and replicants reproducing
- The New Year's Eve ball in Phantom Thread
- The performance at the Protestant social club in T2 Trainspotting ("No more Catholics")
- The premiere of The Room in The Disaster Artist
- The staircase fight in Atomic Blonde
My mind also goes to Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which has a lot of terrific sequences (the virtual-reality bazaar, Rihanna's burlesque dance) without being a particularly good film.

 Re: Favorite movie scenes/sequences of 2017
The first thing that *jumped* to my mind was the stairwell fight in Atomic Blonde--not enough words for how much I love that entire sequence (also the brief car chase that follows). I'd have to think a bit about others, as there are many things swirling around, but I think that could be my easy answer for #1. I hadn't watched any trailers for the movie (I had enough info for a viewing simply with Theron+.5 John Wick directors) and I was already a big fan of the what I'd seen so far then we get to the stairwell fight...it was simply perfection. Also I want to stress how awesome Charlize Theron is in the movie in general, but again--that stairwell fight is one for the ages. I could happily watch Charlize Theron beat the shit out of people all day
