BOT's Top 25 Movies of 2016 Countdown. Reveal complete. Master list in first post.

[filmlover]

It's a shame that The Edge of Seventeen was heavily ignored in theaters and wasn't out on DVD until after these occurred. That definitely would've made the top 25 had more people seen it, in all likelihood.

The thing about Arrival that kinda bothers me is the whole “we'll need your help in 1000 years" bullshit. Like that's lame as fuck.

I'm just laughing at how much shit BVS got from people and it still ended up on the top25 with the same score as Civil War. That felt so good.

 

 

 

And yet that ranking still doesn't mean BvS isn't a fucking horrible movie that a lot of people dislike hence it's placement in the Worst 5 films in the other poll.   It's just blowing in the wind.

@grim22 how does a movie get a half point btw?

 

Anything beyond #25 on lists gets half a point, anything beyond #50 gets a quarter point.

[WrathOfHan]

Talisman, you're VERY salty with CW's placement to the point it's comical.

La-La Land was my #1, so I'm completely fine with its placement. 

[filmlover]

La La Land, Manchester by the Sea, and Arrival were my top 3 of the year so them making the top 10 is good enough in my books.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

I'm OK with Arrival being #1. I'd rather it be LLL, but Arrival is pretty damn good.

Being voted the in the top5 worst movies of the year and in the top25 best movies of the year at the same time is actually conclusive proof that it was a very divisive movie.

Whatever. La La Land gonna take the BOFFYs so its okay

[SchumacherFTW]

All that matters is that Your Name made the top 15 really felt that when it didn't show up last night that it was done for. 

[Dementeleus]

I guess I should be happy that HANDMAIDEN got top 35. How many lists was it on, @grim22?

Can look it up later. Actually headed to a Super Bowl get together now, finished the countdown in a hurry as I needed to hit the road (driving to Rancho from OC  )

Yeah. I think so. BOFFYs always have smaller turn out and that should work in its favor

Also, this is probably a very personal problem, but I really didn't like the portrayal of Ian. No scientist I've ever met (and I've met a lot) would say anything as ignorant or arrogant as some of the lines he's given.

 

He was just there to be a sentient Ken doll for Adams' character.

The #1 movie won on literally the very last list which was received 3 minutes before the dealine.

 

Damn, I moved The Lobster above Wilderpeople in the last minute. It didn't help The Lobster, but it kicked Wilderpeople out, a shame.

It was the kind of thankless role women usually get saddled with.   It's remarkable that he had more to do and had more personality ins any of his appearances as Hawkeye.
