Screen Rant's Top 5 Favorite Movies of 2. Still, as competition raged between Marvel fans and DC fans, via Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad,Captain America: Civil War, and.

Doctor Strange, 2. Moonlight), to irreverent antiheroes (Deadpool). As a result, the line between the “best” films of the year and a moviegoer’s “favorites” could be especially blurry this round. Every year we put together our individual Top 5 “Favorite” (not necessarily “Best”) movie picks and 2. Our Top 5 Favorite Movies of 2. Screen Rant endorsement, it’s an opportunity for each one of our editors to call out the movies that touched us, wowed us, and reminded us why we love going to the theater.

Consider technical & artistic quality—photography, script, lighting, directing, acting, music, effects, costumes, sets, stunts, and overall effectiveness at.

Higher ticket prices are hiding an inescapable fact: Fewer people are going to the movies. To stay relevant, the biz must win them back. A reader asked on my last post if I could get more in depth on my strategy for picking up girls in malls in the Philippines - or basically handing out my number and.

As with prior years, some of the year’s “Best” movies won’t make it onto any of our “Favorite” lists – so make sure to look over our movie review archive to find out what we thought of your own personal choices  – then share your own Top 5 Favorite Movies of 2. Ben Kendrick. 1. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Cut)3. Kubo and the Two Strings. Nocturnal Animals.

A Monster Calls. Honorable Mention(s): Suicide Squad and Doctor Strange. There was a lot to like (and not like) at the 2. Batman V Superman may be the most controversial pick on my list, but as an editorial we recently posted here on the site already pointed out, following the 2. Dawn of Justice make a more poignant point than ever – especially in the film’s definitive “Ultimate Cut”. It’s not for everyone, and I understand why, but I’d be lying if I didn’t count it among my favorites of the year – if for no other reason than because of all the interesting conversations about superhero films that it spawned. In a slate packed with blockbusters, Kubo and the Two Strings was a refreshing change of pace – and succeeded as my favorite Laika film date. It’s a beautiful film that, more than any other this year, was packed with sincere “movie magic.” Conversely, Nocturnal Animals marks my most intense and haunting film experience in 2.

I’m still unpacking after three viewings. Following the leaked Deadpool test footage, it was incredibly exciting to find that the final film exceeded the hype (after a brilliant, self- deprecating, marketing blitz) – and, in the most playful way imaginable, provided a cathartic return to the superhero genre for both Ryan Reynolds and those who felt burned by his prior appearances as Wade Wilson (in X- Men Origins: Wolverine) and Green Lantern. Rob Keyes. 1. Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The Nice Guys. Honorable Mentions: Mr. Right, Pete’s Dragon, Sausage Party, The Legend of Tarzan. In 2. 01. 6 I sadly saw fewer movies in theaters than any other year in the last decade, such is the nature of an ever- changing job description and a happily growing website and family of sister sites. While the box office boomed this year as premium experiences evolve in theaters, there was no doubt more disappointments critically and financially than any other year in recent memory.

Long- awaited sequels failed miserably (looking at you, Independence Day and Alice in Wonderland), video game movies still disappoint (Assassin’s Creed, Warcraft) and studios try too hard to rush into mega franchising and stumble (X- Men: Apocalypse and Suicide Squad). Still, there was quite a few gems (including some Oscar bait end of year flicks I’ve yet to see) and some unexpected hits from remakes (The Jungle Book, The Legend of Tarzan, Pete’s Dragon, etc.). Although my #Why. Not. Deadpool hashtag from years ago helped – in the tiniest possible way perhaps – result in my fave movie and the top- grossing X- Men movie to date, so that’s something : )Hannah Shaw- Williams. Film Noir Movies Downsizing (2017). Suicide Squad. 3.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Cloverfield Lane. High- Rise. Honorable Mentions: The Witch, The Lobster.

I saw and my personal favorite happen to be the same: Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival, which is a perfect slice of original science fiction, combining high- concept sci- fi with a genuinely moving story. Arrival steals into first place ahead of my most anticipated movie of the year, and also the one that I saw the highest number of times in theaters (in part due to repeatedly dragging friends to see it, insisting, “No, ignore the reviews, it’s loads of fun!”) – Suicide Squad.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story sneaks in as a late- year entry at #3, for being the first Star Wars movie that actually got me invested in the Star Wars universe, followed by the high- tension- in- a- small- bunker fun of Dan Trachtenberg’s 1. Cloverfield Lane. Finally, Britain gets some solid representation on the list with Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of J. G. Ballard’s dystopian novel High- Rise, a total trip of a movie that features some top- drawer dark humor and some high- quality slow- motion dancing from Luke Evans and Tom Hiddleston.

Sandy Schaefer. 1. La La Land. 3. The Edge of Seventeen. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Honorable Mentions: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Zootopia, Pete’s Dragon, Manchester by the Sea. Moonlight is a quietly profound and poetic exploration of how people continuously come of age in search of their true selves throughout their lives, bolstered by gorgeous visuals, great music and soulful performances from such hard- working character actors as Mahershala Ali and Andr.

La La Land similarly examines the struggle between embracing your dreams and living in reality, as well as holding onto the past while still embracing the inevitable future, through the lens of a vibrantly colorful and charming throwback to the sort of classic Technicolor musicals that such Hollywood icons as Gene Kelly made over the course of their careers. Finally, no other superhero movie released in 2.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, a film that continues to improve upon repeat viewings. Kevin Yeoman. 1. Hail, Caesar! Manchester by the Sea. The Lobster. 5. Love & Friendship. Sometimes the simplest conceits are the most effective. That is certainly true of Robert Eggers’ debut film, The Witch. A unique horror movie dedicated to the fine art of crafting an authentic sense of dread, the resulting apprehension of which is so strong everything else ostensibly falls into place.

Eggers’ film places an emphasis on atmosphere above all else, making for an astonishingly eerie viewing experience that derives its complexity not from an overbearing plot or a multitude of jump scares, but from the characters’ overwhelming fear of the unknown. A film like The Witch is made richer through its enticing specificity, an aspect shared by the other films on my list of favorites this year. The Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar!, Kenneth Lonergan’s Manchester by the Sea, Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster, and certainly Whit Stillman’s Love & Friendship all stood out as a result of their immersive details and strong sense of place. That distinction went a long way in making moments of absurd humor, devastating grief, mounting tension, and even outright surrealism become an indelible part of my 2.

Andrew Dyce. 1. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Cut)2. Assassin’s Creed. The Nice Guys. 4. Doctor Strange. 5. The Legend of Tarzan. Honorable Mention(s): Suicide Squad and The Wave.

It’s always difficult narrowing a year of movies down into a list of . The film wasn’t for everyone, but as a lifelong comic fan who embraces creativity, even– no, especially when it’s applied to iconic characters, I was among those for whom the movie was made.

A slow- burn, three- hour- long dose of fan- service, visual storytelling that demanded repeat viewings, a Batman torn right from the comics, and a Wonder Woman who stole the show still seems hard to believe. From there, it’s a chance to single out the movies that impressed me for different reasons. Assassin’s Creed smartly sought to capture the feeling of the video games, not re- tell the story, and director Justin Kurzel’s subtle choices, practical approach and stuntwork excited the same part of my brain that Fury Road obliterated.
