As always, a “2016 movie” is defined as a movie released in 2016 (or the last couple years) which I had a reasonable opportunity to see (played theaters within an hour’s drive of here, or came out on blu-ray) for the first time in 2016. So, Carol<\/em> is a 2016 movie, and I guess Elle<\/em> and Jackie<\/em> will be 2017 movies.<\/p>\n

The ranking of some of these is shaky. I’m not sure exactly how much I like The Handmaiden<\/em> or Cosmos<\/em> or Hateful Eight<\/em> or Everybody Wants Some!!<\/em> or a couple others until I watch them again. I was going to make a separate “great but unranked” list but I’ll just wing it because who cares.<\/p>\n
