Happy New Movie Year! Here is a look back at the previous movie year.<\/p>\n
The Lists:<\/strong><\/p>\n Favorite 2016 Movies<\/a> – Best shows I watched this year, not counting shows I\/we haven’t finished yet, and excluding some miniseries that I am counting as movies:<\/p>\n 1. Full Frontal with Samantha Bee – I find either top-1000 lists or large collections of annual top-ten lists very appealing, because among all the obligatory auteur favorites and consensus greats there’s plenty of room for unusual selections. And 1000 titles seems like a good canon size, a whole lifetime of film viewing for normal, non-movie-obsessed people, and can cover the entire timeline of film history. A compulsive list-o-phile, I’m always tempted to make my own top-1000 list, but stop myself because I feel like I’ve never caught up with enough of the classics – and also it’d be a lot of work, nobody would ever read it, and as soon as I watch Fanny & Alexander<\/em> or The Passenger<\/em> or Paterson<\/em> it’ll probably change.<\/p>\n
