I think making a "best of year" list is pointless when I haven't seen a lot of movies in the year. I still haven't watched a lot from last year (IO, Ant-Man, Martian, Compton, Spotlight, H8).

@filmlover, did you see "The Lobster"?

I'll check it out when it's available on DVD/streaming.

I'm pretty sure I've put more effort in to checking the thread than you have in to putting the list out

 

New entry was just posted

So are we doing rankings? Well, my Top 5 of this year so far is:

 

1. X-Men: Apocalypse

2. Batman v Superman

3. Deadpool / 10 Cloverfield Lane

 

Which is kinda hilarious considering I'm not a big fan of SH movies. But then again, I haven't seen a lot of movies this year. That being said, two of the best movies I've seen this year are not even from 2016 (The Ghost Writer and Stargate - the 1994 one)

Just watch The Martian. It was the best movie I've seen in theaters last year. Damon is just insane.

Cars is a multi billion $ merchandising franchise, MONEY.

 

Plus it's Lassester's pet project series, so I'm pretty sure he wants several sequels made for it.

I mean you can't see everything. I ended up seeing like 45 movies for 2015  and I like my list a lot. Obviously it might look different if I had seen more things but what am I supposed to do about it.

The Martian was freaking amazing! So was Creed. Those were my two favorite films to come out last fall.

I'm with you man. Most of the best movies I've seen for the first time this year range from 3 (12 Years a Slave) to 20 (Jerry Maguire) years old.

[The Futurist]

Cars was probably one of Lasseter s dearest dream project.

Did you see EVERYONE Wants Some, Midnight Special, or Love and Friendship? @filmlover, did you see "The Lobster"?

 

Planning on seeing the first two.  I might see the latter, but that kind of plot doesn't really interest me.

Just saw it again for the first time since theaters, it's miles better than Gravity & Interstellar IMO. Different kind of movie but still I enjoyed the most of the 3.

[RobinHood26]

No A's this year yet for me. But 3 B+'s (seen 16)

 

Cloverfield 

Deadpool 

Zootopia

Why would my happiness depend on excitement for movies?   Like I said, I am commuting right now, and honestly I'm not sure why anyone really cares, but when I get to work I'll put together a list. 

 

Actually, putting on the "serious hat" for a second: If you're a person who normally likes movies, but don't see anything in the foreseeable future that piques your interest, it might be worth looking into other aspects of your life to see if the same thing is happening there. I first thought I might be depressed when I realized I hadn't played a videogame in over six months. The psychologists confirmed it.

I give Interstellar a slight edge

Tbh, I wish more people would use the crowd reports thread.  It's been pretty dead for the most part.

Tele will have nostlagia for Ben Hur, the 1926 version I think.

 

 

 

 

He also has plenty of nostalgia for The Arrival of The Train.

Are the parking lots empty or full?

[That One Girl]

For me, it's:

 

Gravity > The Martian > Interstellar
