Not keen on your number one (and a few others), but you have three "all-timers" of mine. Not bad.

Ps those all-timers are Zero Dark Thirty, Steve Jobs, and the criminally underlooked Cemetery Junction.

The Grand Budapest Hotel
Zero Dark Thirty
Short Term 12
Headhunters
Manchester By the Sea
Toy Story 3
Ex Machina
The Lego Movie
Everybody Wants Some!!
The Ghost Writer
The American
Room
Inherent Vice
The Wind Rises
Gravity
Nebraska

Boyhood
Cloud Atlas
Whiplash
Skyfall
127 Hours
The Hunt

Somewhere in the middle:
The Social Network
Inception
Steve Jobs
La La Land
12 Years a Slave
Birdman
Midnight in Paris
Wild
Nocturnal Animals
Arrival


Django Unchained
Coherence

I'm always so excited to see The American appear on any list in a positive way, so I really appreciate that. And any love for Short Term 12 and The Wind Rises can only be a good thing.

That's a freaking great Top 5 (even if the order could be switched a bit ). Didn't know you had seen Manchester, overall thoughts?

Your Django and Coherence hate will always be upsetting.... but you make up for it with your The American passion 

Thanks bud. 
Yeah I've seen nearly all of the 2016 films that I'd been hoping to see. Just a few left.
Manchester was lovely. Unexpectedly funny, considering the film's plot and subject matter, but just as equally devastating. A wonderful analysis of grief and guilt, all set around such a realistically troubled character. Casey Affleck is amazing in such a quiet, lived-in role, and Lucas Hedges is great too (he just misses my top 5 due to how great the year was). I think the structure is handled so incredibly well, diving between past and present seamlessly with little confusion, allowing events to slowly unfold where necessary. It's so wonderfully written, so wonderfully told, it's just.... wonderful.

But damn it, the only thing that really bugs me, is when the camera briefly follows Lonergan after he makes the sarcastic parenting comment, i mean.... why?! It feels so out of place.

But overall I love it.
A huge improvement over Margaret, and a lovely companion piece to You Can Count on Me. 
Lonergan really seems to understand people.

Some very fine films on the list...and then at #21 complete and utter garbage. Pathetic, ridiculous trash.

But yeah, it's mostly a pretty good list.
