Hello all. What is the best movie you've seen in 2016 ?

Omnizoa 05-18-16 01:44 AM

Re: What is the best movie you've seen in 2016 ?
 
Does it have to have come out in 2016, or can it just be a movie I've seen for the first time in 2016?

Sausage Party is probably tied with Jungle Book.

For me, former is Zootopia, and the latter is probably Rules of the Game.

Horroist 05-18-16 04:43 AM

So far...

Captain America: Civil War
Deadpool

If I can choose any movie I've first seen in 2016, I'm inclined to say Strange Days.

The only 2016 movie I think I've seen is Batman v Superman and I'm not really big on that.

Re: What is the best movie you've seen in 2016 ?
 
From the movies listed as 2016 on IMDb, I really liked The Nice Guys and Hail, Caesar! a lot.

My 10 favorite films I've seen in 2016 so far (ordered by year):

Faust: Eine deutsche Volkssage (1926) ~ Murnau's genius tackling a profound story.
My Darling Clementine (1946) ~ Great western by Ford that focuses on its interesting characters.
Elevator to the Gallows (1958) ~ A very accomplished film noir with a jazzy Miles Davis score.
Tokyo Drifter (1966) ~ One of the top three most entertaining films I've seen this year.
Le Souffle au Coeur (1971) ~ Great fun with satisfying observational depth.
Naked (1993) ~ A unique piece of cinema that understands its radical content and characters.
Crumb (1994) ~ Mind-blowing documentary. Disturbing and fascinating.
The Last Days of Disco (1998) ~ My personal favorite out of Stillman's unofficial '90s trilogy.
Memories of Muder (2003) ~ Fantastic crime thriller with a great sense of comedy.
Anomalisa (2015) ~ One of the most original films in years. Vintage Kaufman.

I have only seen about 60 films so far this year, but there are definitely other movies that I also really liked as well!

Camo 05-18-16 12:45 PM

Naked and Crumb were top 10 from last year for me Cob :up:

Not seen any 2016 releases but a top 10 of movies i've watched for the first time this year would probably be something like, in no particular order:

The Fly
Capturing The Friedmans
Anomalisa
Red River
A Streetcar Named Desire
La Haine
Night Moves
Throne of Blood
The Descent
Trick R Treat

No actually, this film from 2013 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Moves_(2013_film). I forgot to include Meeks Cutoff from the same director which is fantastic too.

Not seen the 1975 one.

Both are on my watchlist. Haven't seen any of Kelly Reichardt's films yet, but she looks interesting.

I'd highly recommend the 1975 Night Moves by the way, if you're in the mood for a neo-noir film. I believe I even put it on my '70s list.

I've only seen five good movies of 2016 so far...

5. Hail Caesar
4. Jungle Book
3. 10 Cloverfield Lane
2. Deadpool
1. Captain America: Civil War (my new favorite Marvel movie)

I still have yet to see the Nice Guys.

CosmicRunaway 05-23-16 09:58 AM

Re: What is the best movie you've seen in 2016 ?
 
Whenever anyone mentions the 2015 Room by title alone, my first thought is always Tommy Wiseau's The Room. Maybe I should watch the new Room movie so my mind stops defaulting to the terrible one.

While I didn't like Civil War more than Winter Soldier, it definitely was one of the better movies so far this year. It was much much better than it's direct competition though. Deadpool is probably the other best movie this year by default. I haven't seen the Nice Guys yet, but will sometime this afternoon.

The problem is that so far this year has been sort of disappointing. 10 Cloverfield Lane was pretty good, but I wish they hadn't attached the Cloverfield title to it so that the ending might come as a surprise. The Hateful Eight (that was early this year right?) was very disappointing, and Hail, Caesar! was good, but not amazing (except Channing Tatum, he was amazing in it). I expected trash movies like Gods of Egypt and London Has Fallen to be so bad they were amusing, but instead they were just bad. Enough has been said about Batman v Superman on the internet so I won't add to it. The only movies that kind of surprised me were Keanu and The Huntsman, but only because I expected them to be much much worse than they were.

Re: What is the best movie you've seen in 2016 ?
 
So far a lot of the movies that I was looking forward to this year like Midnight Special, The Nice Guys & The Neon Demon have been disappointing. My favorite of 2016 as of now is The Lobster. If that's considered a 2015 film then my runner up is The Witch. For stuff that's already come out which I still want to see, tops are probably Everybody Wants Some and the Brian De Palma documentary because I am a super fan. The worst I've seen so far this year is Deadpool which I didn't really hate, I've just skipped a bunch of bad-looking movies, so that's a very mild worst of the year

Seeing as it's mid-October I might as well wait until the end of the year before posting a proper choice, but I will say that Hail, Caesar! is no longer my #1.

My five favorite 2016 films so far:

https://66.media.tumblr.com/c464f3e8...tsvqo1_500.gif

1) Everybody Wants Some!! ~ Perhaps the only 2016 film that was able to completely satisfy me. According to my feelings this is the "most genuine" film I've seen so far from this year.

2) Love & Friendship ~ Whit Stillman is awesome. This is a perfectly written sexually political comedy.

3) Hail, Caesar! ~ What's there is great and sometimes even brilliant, but these characters deserved a longer and more penetrating film, in my opinion.

4) The Nice Guys ~ Great action comedy. Pure fun!

5) Zootopia ~ Everything good you can expect from a concept like this. Amazingly well done!

mark f 10-27-16 10:12 PM

Certainly not the best movie I've seen this year, but as far as movies with serious subject matter, Indignation has got to be considered. The acting is all quite excellent by everyone, but there are three great scenes between student Logan Lerman and college dean Tracy Letts that are Oscar-worthy. The middle and longest scene is the best scene I've seen in a movie this year and is nothing short of a battle between two different ways of life and covers everything that was repressive about the atmosphere of the 1950s. For those who don't know, Tracy Letts wrote the plays and screenplays for Killer Joe, Bug and August: Osage County.

Now I guess it's Spirited Away which I re-watched this year. For new watches I think that Your Name beats Kamikaze Girls but by a slight margin.

Dillon 12-05-16 11:02 PM

it's tough. It would be a close first and second between Mad Max fury Road and The Man from Uncle. Both were terrific movies in their particular style. Mad Max Fury Road was so unique in so many ways. The Man from Uncle was comedy, drama and action with great scenes and dialogue.
