Been a bit slow with this one but I wanted to take my time, make a real considered opinion ya know? 2016 was big. Not just a lot of great films and a lot of big blockbusters, but a lot of great blockbusters. MI:5, Spectre, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, all big popcorn movies but all had storytelling at their heart rather than just wham-bam spectacle.
1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
2. Whiplash
3. Mad Max: Fury Road
4. Ex-Machina
5. Kingsmen: The Secret Service
6. The Martian
7. Spectre
8. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
9. Avengers: Age of Ultron
10. Straight Outta Compton
Remember when movie titles didn't have colons? Another byproduct of our current age of remakes, sequels and spin-offs. But 2015 was a strong year and other honorable mentions have got to go to - Macbeth, Legend, It Follows, Furious 7, Jurassic World and Ant-Man. 2016 has got a lot to live up to, but with the likes of The Revenant, The Hateful 8 and Captain America: Civil War, no doubt it'll fill those shoes and need a new pair.
