We have covered the best and now it is time to take a wall down the hall of shame - 2016 was an incredibly underwhelming year when it came to the big blockbusters and I will always remember it for being the year of disappointments. It was actually pretty easy to fill this list of 10 terrible films and for once, I don't think the list is too controversial. Unfortunately, I didn't have the pleasure of sitting through Nine Lives, Fifty Shades of Black, Gods of Egypt or Ben-Hur but I did watch many stinkers and I cannot wait to talk about them....for the final time. This post will literally bury those films in their graves as I hope to never watch or talk about them ever again.

We have reached the end of 2016...what a year that was! I think we can all agree 2016 has been a very interesting year outside of film and I think it definitely applies to the movies and Hollywood as well. I found myself disappointed in many films this year which actually made it a little harder than usual to compose this list as there wasn't too much choice. In 2015, I saw 80 different films in cinema and in 2016 I was able to beat my personal record and see 93 different films - it is going to be hard for me to beat that in 2017. There are films I wish I hadn't have bothered to watch but this is the post dedicated to the best of 2016 so it is all positive from now onwards. I am actually happy with my picks for the year and think that each film covers (generally) a different genre and I would easily be able to package all of these as a 10 film boxset and you would feel satisfied with all of them. Remember, these are my picks and these are the films that have held up as the year as gone on so ratings don't really matter - these are my favourites of 2016 looking back.

I did this same post around a year ago and I was expecting big things from 2016 - the biggest theme for film in 2016 was 'disappointments' - near enough every film was not as good as it could or should have been. Even films I personally liked were slammed by critics - it was a touch year for film so lets hope it is onwards and upwards for 2017. Even audiences were not too kind as many films were not as big financially as they should or could have been. At the time of writing (18/12/16), I have seen 9 out of the 10 films on my most anticipated films for 2016 list and 56% of those were disappointing in some way or another. I honestly hope I'm not jinxing the films on this list...
