GMD Social Poll: Top Ten Films of 2016

[CiG]

I do still care, hence why I added if it's something he cares about. Mellowed out? Sure I'd rather lists adhere to the dates they became available to the general public but it's not a rule anybody has to follow. I never enforced it or excluded any movies from anybody's list because of it.

Also don't worry I always check the dates for everybody's lists just in case.

I still need to see The Void, definitely doing so for this one. Heard many many good things.

Ah, I envy the thrill of the initial watch. I have a feeling it won't make many people's lists, but it'll probably be in my top five. Enjoy.

Gotta see handmaiden, but think Elle is my top right now

Edit, do docs count? Really enjoyed Into the Inferno

docs certainly count, and while we're on the topic you should check out adam curtis' hypernormalisation.

most lovecraft body horror gore, he should like it. My wife doesn’t. I’ve made her sit through it five times or so.

Initial list, I'll cut it down later. I know that for some of these it's not even in question, but rather than weed out the borderline cases I figured I'd throw them all at the wall for now.

Arrival
The Wailing
The Void
Nocturnal Animals
Train to Busan
Under the Shadow
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (arguably the best of the new movies)
Personal Shopper
Deadpool
Don't Breathe
Midnight Special (now realizing that Nichols wrote and directed two films released the same year? wtf)
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (loses steam in the final act, but up until then it's the perfect balance of mystery and terror)
Hail Caesar!
Split
I Am Not Your Negro
Hell or High Water
10 Cloverfield Lane

Official list:

1. Arrival
2. Under the Shadow
3. The Wailing
4. The Void
5. Personal Shopper
6. Nocturnal Animals
7. Train to Busan
8. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
9. Midnight Special
10. Don't Breathe

I had this list already made up because I wrote it up back then for an article I wrote. Some of the movies might not hold up as well for me now as they did originally but this is that list.

01. The Accountant
02. Captain America: Civil War
03. Zootopia
04. Central Intelligence
05. Jason Bourne
06. Jane Got A Gun
07. The Legend Of Tarzan
08. Star Trek Beyond
09. Hell Or High Water
10. London Has Fallen

There were many others I saw that I liked but didn't make the original list. And some of those are now ones that I watch a lot on On Demand or on TV.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

1. Batman vs Superman
2. Rogue One
3. 13 Hours
4. Captain America Civil War
5. The Accountant
6. Deadpool
7. Sully
8. Doctor Strange
9. London Has Fallen
10. Bourne

Only thing I've seen from this year is Rogue One, which if not a great movie was certainly my favorite Star Wars since the original three. Surprisingly likable characters, and a sense of purpose. The ending was beautiful, but also kinda disappointing because Disney chose only the last couple minutes to introduce sexual tension rather than give it time to develop into something meaningful.

 

[Bloopy]

1. Dnevnik mašinovodje (Train Driver's Diary)
2. The Wailing
3. The Greasy Strangler
4. Tickled
5. Don't Breathe
6. Train to Busan
7. Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie
8. Hunt for the Wilderpeople
9. I.T.
10. Red Dog: True Blue

 

[no country for old wainds]

that gif in the OP keeps making me wanna watch the nice guys again. shane black has annoying tendencies but there are always some great gags in his movies.

 

[CiG]

Just realised that Childhood of a Leader was actually released in 2016, but the sites mark it as 2015 because it played at the Venice film fest that year. All its other dates are 2016.

3. The Greasy Strangler

Fuck yes. A true connoisseur of the retarded. The main theme gets stuck in my head for days on end anytime I hear it.

The Wailing was this year. If you’re a fan of Asian films or horror, don’t miss this one.

Turned a guy onto The Wailing today, a proud moment.

 

[rms]

Just finished A Salesman, frustrating ending haha but gonna pass the Wailing and Handmaiden for me. Not sure what else I gotta check out other then Wainds doc rec

 

[no country for old wainds]

if you’re looking for more foreign movies from this year i’d say the other ‘major’ ones are toni erdmann and elle. i have other favourites which i’ll post in my list soon but those were the ultra hyped ones.

 

[rms]

Elle winning for me still

 

[CiG]

A Bride for Rip Van Winkle.

 

[no country for old wainds]

[CiG]

Yeah last night haha.
