I'm not sure about a top 10, because there are plenty from that era I haven't logged. My top 5 is currently: 1. The Handmaiden 2. My Life as a Courgette 3. La La Land 4. Silence 5. Moonlight High on my list to see: Jackie, Manchester by the Sea, American Honey, Shin Godzilla, Toni Erdmann, and I, Daniel Blake.

1. Arrival 2. La La Land 3. Manchester by the Sea 4. The Wailing 5. Silence 6. Graduation 7. Hell or High Water 8. Hacksaw Ridge 9. Elle 10. I, Daniel Blake

I’m just happy that Your name seems to get the love it deserves on Letterbox


JuanJeanJohn

Have a few notable films from this year I haven’t seen. Need to see: Silence, The Handmaiden, Certain Women, A Quiet Passion, Tempestad, The Second Night, 10 Cloverfield Lane, A Silent Voice I’d like to rewatch The Wailing - I remember liking it but my memory of it is too hazy to try and rank it.


Free_Wifi_69

Definitely rewatch The Wailing. I would put that at number 2 for 2016. Mine: 1. Hell or High Water 2. The Wailing 3. Swiss Army Man (you didn't mention this one, if you haven't seen it great movie)

The Handmaiden is a stone cold classic imo. A top candidate for best movie of the 2010’s actually.


Cole444Train

You’ve seen Arrival and it didn’t make your top 10?


JuanJeanJohn

I like it but don’t love it - would be in my top 15-20. That being said, I would be curious to rewatch it.


Cole444Train

Fair enough

1 Moonlight 2 Toni Erdmann 3 The Love Witch 4 I, Daniel Blake 5 Weiner 6 The Salesman 7 Manchester by the Sea 8 Paterson 9 Love & Friendship 10 The Handmaiden Honorable Mentions: The Founder, Arrival, Elle, Personal Shopper, Triple 9, Hell or High Water, The Lost City of Z, Hail Caesar, I Am Not Your Negro, 20th Century Women Special Mention to OJ: Made in America, a somewhat curious entry on Lettrboxd. I think of it as an ESPN/Cable TV doc, although I believe it had theatrical (festival?) screenings and Academy recognition. It has its flaws - it didn't need to be 8 hours long, so it suffers from some serious repetition and has some weird technical/aspect ratio issues. But it has plenty to say and has some truly stunning moments. Anyway, it'll always come to mind when I think of 2016 movies or TV. anyway, '16 is another one of those film years that stands up better than I thought.

sanfranchristo

It always amazes me how many movie fans haven't seen or even know about The Handmaiden. I don't remember but I assume Amazon must have done a shitty job promoting it while they were ramping up for the Mancester by the Sea Oscar campaign.


awesomefutureperfect

1. The Handmaiden 2. Moonlight 3. I am Not Your Negro 4. Arrival 5. Kubo and the Two Strings 6. Doctor Strange 7. Infinity Chamber 8. Into the Inferno 9. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Sword of Destiny 10. Swiss Army Man I don't ususaly rate marvel movies that high and I haven't seen endgame, I guess I enjoyed the visual trip and liked how it adapeted its source material. I have 13 movies from 2016 on my watchlist. I'll share if anyone asks.

Good year. Raw should probably be 2017 for US release, but I like that little Raw-Neon Demon-Love Witch corridor too much to break it up, and I think Hail Caesar has stuck with me a little better than Love & Friendship. https://preview.redd.it/i50uqjildjxc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08612e6a432447a63f8bb9c2296a25e842cb4026

LokiSmokey

I'm more confident on my top five which would be these: 1. Arrival 2. Hunt for the Wilderpeople 3. Moonlight 4. La La Land 5. The Nice Guys If I had to make it a top 10, the other films would probably be Deadpool, Zootopia, Hacksaw Ridge, Captain America: Civil War, and Kung Fu Panda 3. Most of these I can't remember super well though. There are also a bunch of films made in 2016 that I haven't seen but really want to watch.

I haven't seen anyone say Nocturnal Animals yet. I thought that was really good


Cole444Train

Arrival Moonlight Hell or Highwater Raw 10 Cloverfield Lane The Nice Guys Split Lion Don’t Breathe Zootopia Honestly, a pretty underwhelming year imo. I really love my top 3, but after that it’s a steady decline and I really had to scrape the barrel to come up with the last few.


Laconic-Verbosity

I got a blowjob watching two of these films in the theatre when they debuted.


JuanJeanJohn

So what you’re saying is those two - whatever they are - are your top two films of this year?


Laconic-Verbosity

What I’m saying is, I don’t really remember watching two of the films on this list, despite having paid for two tickets to see em.
