AMovieGuy.com’s 2016 Top 10 & Movie Awards

December 29th, 2016

 

 

 

In 2016 we lost Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Bowie, Prince, Alan Rickman, and had an election that has divided the country for what will be at least 4 years. It was not a good one. As for movies, they started pretty rocky as well, but the awards season brought on some strong competitors to at least lift our spirits. The summer was atrocious, which didn’t help as summer blockbusters seemed to reveal that greed does not make good movies. By the end of the year I was happy the best movies were saved for last, but I look forward to a more promising 2017. Let’s talk about the good movies though. Here are AMovieGuy.com’s Awards for 2016:
