Top Movies - Top 10 Favourite Films of 2016 - Movie Reviews Sites
article2016 Reviews, articleFilm Favourites, articleLists, articleSpecials,Last day of the year, last post of the year. Following my top ten worst list yesterday, I wanted to end 2016 with a happy bang. So, which movie did make it on my top 10 best list? Go on and read...
Well, here we are just mere hours away from ending this year and beginning 2017. Following yesterday's list of my ten worst films of the year, I am composing today the list for my top ten favourite movies of 2016, thus ending the year on a positive note. As stated yesterday, I didn’t manage to see all movies that came out in 2016 and vice versa, meaning that I saw a couple of films I didn’t have time to review. Since I live in Germany and we have different release dates to the UK or the US, there might be movies that came out last year in other countries but came to theatres this year here.
Just as last year’s list, I want to note that the following movies are ranked by how much I personally liked them and how much I enjoy them while re-watching in theatres or at home. If a movie you liked is not on the list, or not ranked the way you thought it should be, please remember that this list is a representation of my personal taste in movies. Be also aware that this post is my own biased list and therefore scores I gave films have no relevance here. I also can’t account for films such as La La Land, Hell or High Water or Silence, because they still didn’t play in German theatres.
Just as with my worst movie post, it has been really hard to cut down my favourite flicks to just ten contenders. I have therefore eight other movies I would like to give honourable mentions too. These are the films I found to be phenomenal but did not quite make the final list: Nola and the Clones, Nocturnal Animals, Creed, Room, The Nice Guys, The Accountant, Moana & 10 Cloverfield Lane. So, let’s start with my top ten favourite movies of 2016:
10. Doctor Strange - First up on number ten, is Marvel’s solo story of Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme. I figured that I would like the latest MCU blockbuster but I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. Everything about this movie was fantastic; from the well-balanced story and dialogues to the brilliant visual effects and colours used. It looked and felt like reading a comic book! Benedict Cumberbatch not only looked like Stephen Strange, he also gave a fantastic depiction of the character. But what I liked most about Doctor Strange was the change in tone and thematic, as it explored new territory. Ready to read my review? Click on the link: Doctor Strange Review.
9. The Witch - Oh my... Talk about a horror-movie done well! Robert Eggers directorial debut was not only an unnerving psychological hell-trip; it was also a beautiful looking period piece taking place in 17th century New England. It also included fantastic performances by Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie and Anya Taylor-Joy, who displayed how an uncomfortable situation, loneliness and religion fanaticism can tear apart a family. The brilliant acting of young Taylor-Joy, who just starred in her second lead role, especially surprised me. Here is my full review if interested: The Witch Review.
8. Midnight Special - Michael Shannon, a low budget sci-fi story and Mud director Jeff Nichols helming the project, what could possibly go wrong? Nothing! Midnight Special is a beautiful tale about a father trying to protect his extraordinary young boy, who has a unique gift. The raw emotions displayed by Michael Shannon still get me when re-watching this low budget flick, and the cinematography and effects are stunning to look at. I truly loved this movie, which is why it is ranked in my top ten. Here is the link for my complete review: Midnight Special Review.
7. Zootopia - I wasn’t sure about this Disney animation when I went to see it since the trailers didn’t manage to convince me but I left the cinema floored by the premise of this movie. Zootopia is not the typical Disney picture, as it depicted a world with socio-political problems that mirrored those of our own world. Police bunny Judy Hops was constantly confronted with racism, sexism and social classification. That depth of story, combined with the beautiful looking computer-animation, made for one of the best theatrical experiences I had this year.

6. Spotlight - But wait… isn’t this a 2015 movie? Nope, not in Germany. I was looking forward to seeing this film, as the real events it is based on, represents a group of journalists that uncover the truth about child molestations by priests. The real reports earned Boston’s The Globe the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, and this movie was nothing but worthy of depicting these circumstances. This, among other stories, was my inspiration to study journalism and I was happy to see how well it was portrayed on the silver screen. Interested in reading my full review?

5. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Yes, I am a Star Wars nerd and a proud one at that, but it is not the reason why this movie landed on my top ten. Even after all the online commotion about reshoots, Rogue One managed to be one of the better sci-fi flicks of this franchise. Although I still prefer The Force Awakens to this, the first anthology movie not only tied beautifully into A New Hope but it also was a strong stand-alone movie albeit having a few minor issues.

4. Kubo and the Two Strings - Who would have thought that Laika’s latest stop-motion film, could have beat my favourite animation of this year? But it did happen and it also managed to surpass a lot of other movies, making it as far as my fourth favourite film of 2016. Kubo proved that with a little trickery of modern technology, the art of stop-motion can be just as compelling as a fully computer animated flick. But it contains more than just beautiful imagery; the story was well narrated, it contained a lot of emotional substance and included likeable characters that I was rooting for. This is a little gem in the genre of animation and I can only recommend you to buy it on DVD or Blu-ray. Here is the link to my full: Kubo and the Two Strings Review.
3. The Hateful Eight - We are down to the last three films and of course I needed to include Tarantino’s latest western. What can I say that I already haven’t? What I loved about the Hateful 8 was the fact that it combined a conversation heavy story about political, gender and racial issues, with an incredibly suspenseful atmosphere. The last act was powerful and very bloody, while the wide-screen from the Ultra Panavision 70 gave the film a cabin-feverish feeling.

2. Deadpool - Oh yes, this is my number two! How could it not be? Fox finally listened to the fans and approved for this R-rated comic-book movie to be made and it was fantastic. It contained some gruesome jokes, was self-aware of its silliness and was very Meta, not to forget that is was well acted! Deadpool explored a new playground for comic-book adaptations and it paid off in every way possible. Click on the link and read my full review: Deadpool Review.
1. Arrival - I don’t know if you saw this coming, but it is simply a fact. Arrival was not only the best film of 2016; it was also my favourite picture of the year. I went three times to the theatre to watch this sci-fi drama, just to be sure that it is worth putting it in the first place of my list and this movie managed to surprise me even more the second and third time around. I started noticing things that I didn’t when I watched it at first and the emotional impact is much bigger once you know what to expect. Denis Villeneuve is becoming, with no doubt, one of the best directors of this century and I am looking forward to his Blade Runner sequel next year. Here is my full review: Arrival Review.
This is it, 2016 is officially over and I hope you enjoyed reading my list of my top ten favourite films of the year, as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please leave a comment and let me know which movies were your favourites and if you did like this list, don’t forget to share and give it a thumbs-up.
