We're about at the halfway stage through the year so how would you rank your favourite 5 / 10 movies of the year so far?

 

Here's mine

 

1. Sing Street

2. Zootropolis

3. Eye In The Sky

4. The Danish Girl

5. Room

6. X-Men: Apocolypse

7. Dirty Grandpa

8. Spotlight

9. Grimsby

10. Money Monster

 

With Eddie the Eagle, Deadpool and Me Before You just on the verge I'd say..

 

Looking at my EOY from 2015, six of my top 10 came from the first half of the year and four from the second half, with the same kind of split when expanding to look at the top 20.

 

At the other end of the scale, London Has Fallen, Zoolander 2 and Everybody Wants Some are easily the three worst I've endured so far.

My top 5 So Far:

1. Zootopia

2. The Secret Life Of Pets

3. Finding Dory

4. Ghostbusters

5. The Shallows

 

Very very strong year (I'll do a top 10 later but these 5 are a bit ahead of the rest for me!). Zootopia is still miles ahead at the top, 2nd to 4th are really really close- loved all of them and also loved The Shallows. I'd say Room is also in the top 10 somewhere but can't think of what else I'd choose off the top of my head!

Deadpool, Star Trek, X-Men, Captain America, Finding Dory spring to mind...

 

lots of decent movies though, I'd list them if I could remember them all - but I always comment in the threads B-)

1. Finding Dory

2. Room

3. Joy

 

I would say Joy too but pretty sure that was 2015 :(

Like Jack, my favourite has been Sing Street. Need to think about the rest.

 

 

01 Room

02 Zootropolis

03 Money Monster

04 10 Cloverfield Lane

05 How To Be Single

06 Nerve

07 Finding Dory

08 Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

09 Joy

10 The Conjuring 2

 

Worst:

 

01 Pride & Prejudice & Zombies

02 Mother's Day

03 Midnight Special

04 The Neon Demon

05 Maggie's Plan

 

Controversial I know about Maggie's Plan & Midnight Special as their critics faves but they were so pretentious and longwinded. I was bored senseless in both.

01 Captain America: Civil War

02 The Jungle Book

03 Room

04 Suicide Squad

05 Gods of Egypt

---

---

64 Capture the Flag

65 Dad's Army

66 Midnight Special

67 The Choice

68 The Big Short

 

 

Not even gonna lie, I adored the whole visual package of Gods of Egypt so much :lol: I imagine there aren't going to be many more movies challenging the top 5 for the rest of this year, probably Fantastic Beasts and maybe Moana, Star Wars, Doctor Strange if they end up great.

 

 

The Big Short was like watching a film in another language, not a clue what was happening...

I agree about Maggie's Plan. I didn't totally hate it but none of the main characters felt very likeable and it left me very underwhelmed considering the good reviews.

 

Nerve and Finding Dory would both definitely have a place in my top 10 now

The trailer made it look funny as well, but a lot of the humour went right over my head and like you say, virtually none of the characters were likeable at all.

Only seen a handful of new releases this year but I'd rank them thus:

 

01 Captain America: Civil War (not perfect, but a great culmination of the MCU thus far)

02 Green Room (great, super tense)

03 Bone Tomahawk (very good although a difficult watch at times)

04 The Hateful Eight (excellently made, not sure what it was trying to achieve)

05 Deadpool (consistently entertaining but most of the best bits were in the trailer)

06 Suicide Squad (underwhelming in most ways but still fun)

07 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (enjoyable for spells but generally disappointing and makes very little sense)
