My list:

1. Zootopia
2. Arrival
3. Nocturnal Animals
4. Lion
5. Midnight Special
6. Hacksaw Ridge
7. Eddie The Eagle
8. Loving
9. Moonlight
10. Demolition​


The Rise/Dawn of the Planets of Apes award for most overhyped movie


Deadpool

The WTF did I just watch award

Independence Day: Resurgence

The Down Periscope award for most underrated movie

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

The shockingly good movie of the year award

How to Be Single

The I have no idea why this movie is acclaimed at all award

Hell or High Water

This was a terrible year for movies imo. Zootopia and Arrival are the only movies that would be on my 2015 list. I think all the movies in my top 10 are good but only Zootopia and Arrival are a future classic in my book. Had The Lobster come out in 2016 it would've made the top 10 but since it came out in 2015 and won my "The WTF did I just watch award" it didn't qualify. I didn't see Fences and Hidden Figures and those are the only english-speaking movies I haven't seen that maybe could've gotten on the list, me thinks.

Meh my itch for good dramas was satisfied in 2016. It was the blockbusters that lacked. The summer was brutal.

I thought this was a pretty good year. I got 30 movies rated an 8/10 or higher on IMDb which is about five movies more than the year before.

I'm mostly shocked at the Nocturnal Animals love, I didn't think it would stand a chance at getting to the top 10 but I'm glad it did.
