In my own defense, a lot of the movies I watched in 2016 were shorts, some only seconds long, particularly those from the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s.
Of the films I watched this year, my favourites include the gorgeous and lyrical first contact tale Arrival; Richard Linklater's contemplative, complicated romances, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight; the unforgivably fascist but unintentionally hilarious Death Wish movies, particularly the absurd Death Wish 3; to varying degrees, the eight Harry Potter films; Best Picture nominees The Defiant Ones, The Lion in Winter, The Postman, Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Big Short, Jaws (yes, for the first time), Cabaret, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and The Pride of the Yankees; Rogue One, the Star Wars prequel with integrity; Grey Gardens, an amazing 1975 documentary about two lives crumbling into ruin; Super Fly, one of the quintessential blaxploitation films; Billy Wilder's great romantic comedy Sabrina; Orson Welles' chilling noir, The Stranger; Marvel's entertaining Captain America: Civil War; the hilariously incompetent Dangerous Men; and the best of the rebooted Star Trek films so far, Star Trek Beyond.
Disappointments included the vile Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the underwhelming X-Men: Apocalypse (particularly in the wake of the very strong Legends of Future Past), a muddled Suicide Squad adaptation, the eye-rolling Jurassic Park III, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. adaptation that could have been great if it had trusted its audience and believed in the source material, the laughable Speed 2: Cruise Control, and a trio of terrible M. Night Shyamalan films: The Village, Lady in the Water, and After Earth.
Anyone interested in my thoughts on some of the movies I watched this year, along with many others, should check out my Letterboxd profile, where I've collected almost 100 of the film reviews I've written over the years.
