    Forget the critics and their art house picks for Best Movie of the Year. Which movie YOU pick as the best one you watched in 2016?

    Mine was a no-brainer for me:

    I really like this movie called Victoria, I think it's from 2015 but I saw it a couple of weeks ago. It's about a Spanish girl partying in Berlin and hooking up with a German guy and his buddies, and then things take a sinister turn when one of them has to return a favour for a local gangster. It's notable for having been filmed in a single, continuous shot.

    Might like it: Noblefart, Anthony, lb4lb, SliceNdice

    Won't like it: panchyprsss

    As funny as it sounds, I only sat down and watched one movie this year. It was at work and it was actually the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore were in it. It was supposed to be a comedy but it was about as funny as terminal cancer. It think it was called "Duplex."

    I did see part of "Straight Outta Compton" and it was really good but I need to see the whole thing. I have always liked NWA and the solo work of Eazy, Ice Cube, Dre and MC Ren.

    Yeah I think for me it was Captain America Civil War and if that's true it's really sad. Although admittedly I didn't see nearly as many films this year as I normally do.

    I have a bad memory for year end lists: I wanna say "Calvary", though that probably came out a year earlier.

    I also enjoyed "DeadPool", though I've gotta admit I must not have seen too many good movies if that heads the list.

    I watched the best reviewed film of the year, Love & Friendship based on the Jane Austen novel 'Lady Susan' and after 40 minutes I turned it off. When a movie viewing feels like a freaking CHORE, you know that this art house bore is not for you. :nono:

    My second best viewing of the year was The Jungle Book ​the most fun I had watching a family movie in years!

    That's not in doubt.
    The thing with Ken Loach movies (for me at least) is....they're so gritty and urban and indicative of modern working-class life that they become hard to watch.

    I watched Hell or High Water over the weekend. Very solid movie. Not a classic, but a good movie. One of the better movies of the very mediocre 2016.
