Moonlight and La La Land will obviously be remembered just for that Best Picture snafu if nothing else (which is a shame since both are excellent movies).

 

Zootopia will most likely still be a favorite among Disney fans and the kids of today. And Rogue One will probably be brought up just because of its place in the Star Wars universe but eh to the movie itself.

Sadly, I get the feeling that Moonlight will only be remembered as the answer to a trivia question. The film itself is amazing, but it's so mellow and so focused on showing rather than telling that I feel like many mainstream viewers who give it a chance won't get why anyone would like it, let alone why it won Best Picture. I just hope that it doesn't join the ranks of Annie Hall, Ordinary People, and Shakespeare in Love as a great film whose reputation is besmirched by winning the top Oscar over a more popular/culturally revered film. (I added the last qualifier for Ordinary People, which was a bigger mainstream hit than Raging Bull at the time.)

 

I feel like there are two better questions springing off the one presented in this thread: which 2016 films will develop cult followings, and which 2016 hits will be forgotten?

The Nice Guys has "future cult hit" written all over it.

 

The painstakingly slow crawl to $100M will be the only reason anyone will remember Passengers at all within even two years from now, and even then, only box office aficionados will remember it.

some of these movies will play on FX or TNT or or AMC until the end of time regardless of quality

The Nice Guys had better develop more of a following. The "and stuff" lines are among my favorites of the year.

Yep.

 

Deadpool, BvS, Apocalypse, Suicide Squad, Fantastic Beasts, Sully, and Nice Guys will be played on FX/TNT for ages. Probably Accountant as well (it just screams TNT to me). Civil War, Rogue One, STB will mostly be played as part of marathons I would assume.

 

Zootopia, Moana, Jungle Book, Dory, and Pets will live on through Freeform or Disney XD.

I can name so, so many. Jason Bourne, NYSM2, Magnificent Seven, Legend of Tarzan, Me Before You, London Has Fallen, Girl on the Train, Miss Peregrine's, Central Intelligence, KFP3...

All 3 of these will stay alive from FX/TNT/Spike/etc.  IDK about the others though.

I guess CI could be a TBS staple like Get Smart and Jason Bourne could live on through Bourne marathons (though people would probably be asleep before it comes on) but Miss Peregrine's? REALLY? People stopped caring about it when it left theaters (maybe during the middle of its run).

Peregrine's seems like something that FX will spam to death.

Anything Disney does is going to be remembered. Disney's the master of reminding people of their stuff.

AiW2? "The movie no-one wanted." [emoji4] In general I do think you have a valid point.

[SchumacherFTW]

Everyone knows God's of Egypt will be remembered for its Stupendous assets.

Deadpool and Civil War the good CBM'S of 2016!

[Ethan Hunt]

La La Land, Zootopia, and Deadpool seem obvious. anything else can't really say for sure yet

[YM!]

Zootopia, Deadpool, Arrival, and La La Land.

[cannastop]

I think Arrival is the true underappreciated gem of 2016. It will grow in appreciation.
