2016 is over and 2017 has begun although it has been a very lackluster year for me personally as I didn't get to see a lot of films this year as many of them came and went.

That's a nice list. Glad to see Arrival show well.
I need to finish the O.J. doc and watch 13th.
Of the ones I've seen I really enjoyed them all except Everybody Wants Some!!.
I love seeing Love & Friendship so high. It's one I just couldn't keep out of my Top 10. Also glad to see Midnight Special on there. It to made my list and it's a film that seems widely forgotten. Big fan of it.
Great stuff! We match up on quite a few. The Neon Demon didn't quite work for me as much as you, but I really dug it.
@Wendell-I can understand why Everybody Want Some!! isn't for you as Richard Linklater isn't for everyone. I really hope you see 13th.
@keith71_98-Love & Friendship definitely stuck around for the long run as it was just so fun to watch as is Midnight Special.
@Kevin-I'm glad someone else here likes The Neon Demon as it is a polarizing film but a damn good one.
Watched 13th last night. The part that most blew me away was the admission from the Nixon folks. Sadly confirms so many things. Great, great doc.
@Wendell-That was shocking but not entirely surprised since Nixon was a prejudiced son-of-a-bitch. If you have a review in the works, I can't wait to read it.
Hell yeah, I love seeing The Neon Demon at number one here. That flick was so goddamn crazy, but so good.
@Alex-I love anything that is willing to be nuts and confrontational. No matter how fucked up it is. I'm not sure if it will change this coming weekend but it is a very important film.
