Rounding up 2016: Two years in film
I love films, but I’m currently not a regular cinemagoer. My cinema visits in 2016 can be counted on one hand, and involved only one new(ish) release:
- January: The Hateful Eight (2015)
- August: The Princess Bride (1987)
- September: The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976)
- October: True Romance (1993)
- October: The Lives Of Others (2006)
Because I watched everything else at home — hence waited for films to become available for (legal!) downloading or streaming — I’m going to list two Top 10s of 2016: one of 2016 films and one of 2015 films watched in 2016:
My personal top 10 of 2016 films
- The Brand New Testament
- Weiner (documentary)
- 10 Cloverfield Lane
- Midnight Special
- Sing Street
- Hail, Caesar!
- Eddie The Eagle
- Holy Hell (documentary)
- Zootropolis (also known as Zootopia)
- The Secret Life of Pets
My least favourite film of 2016: Imperium (I wrote and posted a review of this film here).
My personal top 10 of 2015 films watched in 2016
This Top 10 “goes to 11” with two titles sharing third place:
