I saw some amazing movies and some absolute
trash in 2016, but that can summarize the film scene of any year. Regardless,
these are my picks and mine alone. If you see a movie you didn’t like in the #1
spot please don’t pitch a hissy. This is only my opinion featured here and not
the final word on the subject.
Additionally, I have not seen every movie released this past year (believe me, I tried).
Also, I rarely base my opinions on how well made or "important" a movie is. I go by how much I was entertained by or moved by a particular film (and for those that know me well, I really just want to be "entertained" by a film). So here we go...
