Okay, am I the only one who actually thought that the new Ghostbusters was an awesome summer movie? Sure, it wasn't as well made as Civil War, but it was a lot more fun as it was one of the few big movies last year that wasn't dark and depressing. Also, I'm still confused by how you found Kate Mckinnon (who was my favorite character)'s quirkiness distracting, but Eddie Redmayne's quirkiness in Fantastic Beasts likable (Don't get me wrong I liked him in that film too, but I thought he was just as quirky). Finally, I thought she had one of the most badass moments of any film last year when she took on all of those ghosts with her pistol blasters while probably one of the greatest versions of the Ghostbusters theme music was blaring like it was a superhero film.

Let me respond for Brad:
Yes, because I liked/disliked a quirky character in one movie, I MUST feel that way about quirky characters in any movie!

Eddie Redmayne felt like an actual character wherein one of his traits was simply that he was quirky and awkward. Kate McKinnon just did weird things for the sake of being weird with zero context, setup, or any other character trait for that matter. More often than not she put characters in danger only because "ha, I'm a quirk machine."

But like my clone said, I guess liking one quirky characters means that I automatically have to like ALL quirky characters, despite writing, humor or context.

Yes, and just because I loved the original film, I must be against the idea of a remake (even if it does something different with the premise)!

Am I the only one who thinks Ben Foster should be the next Wolverine?

1. Captain America: Civil War
2. Hacksaw Ridge
3. Sully
4. Deepwater Horizon
5. Star Trek Beyond
6. Doctor Strange

We doin' this? WE DOIN' THIS?!

Here's my top 10:
Rogue One
Deadpool
Batman v Superman

...Shit, I only saw three movies. I pirated BvS, though. Didn't want to pay for a follow-up to the terrible Man of Steel movie. Good thing, too. I fucking HATED it. Deadpool was forgettable. Rogue One, unfortunately also forgettable.

2016 was just a bad year all around.

Brad, I was wondering if you were planning on doing a Netflix binge watch on A Series of Unfortunate Events? I really liked it and felt they were close to the books but anything is better than the Jim Carrey (as much as I love Jim Carrey) movie that they made.

Not surprised to see Hell or High Water at Number One, Brad. You and Dave had nothing but praise for that movie.

Here's my own Top 11 Favourites of 2016:

11) Zootopia
10) Deadpool
9) The Infiltrator
8) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
7) Silence
6) Triple 9
5) Kubo and the Two Strings
4) Storks
3) Hands of Stone
2) The Nice Guys (best movie of 2016)
1) War Dogs

2016 movies I have seen that did not make the above list:
The Accountant
Hail, Caesar!
Hell or High Water
Jason Bourne
Keanu
La La Land
Moonlight
The Neon Demon
Nocturnal Animals

It seems that 2016 is a year where I differ from the majority of critics. La La Land and Moonlight, the two most critically acclaimed movies of that year, I found to be well-made and well-acted. I just could not get invested in the stories of either. It's the same problem I had with Saturday Night Fever (1977); yes, that movie is objectively very good, but I could not bring myself to care about the story or the characters.

Best films of 2016 are very different from the after years. I think they are all meaningful
