List: Top 5 Movies of 2016 (so far)

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed our favorite films of the year so far in 2016. This year may be a bit divisive depending on who you ask, but if you ask us, it has been a real good year for film so far. We’ve already seen some great gems from Richard Linklater, Jeff Nichols, the Coen brothers, John Carney as well as other notable directors. This year’s summer blockbusters may be hit or miss, but early on in the year, Deadpool, The Jungle Book and Captain America: Civil War took the box office by storm and are films worthy of contention for this list too.

That being said, what 2016 films would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:

*Keep in mind we have different criteria for our lists as well*

    • It’s my #6 but I’d argue the commentary in The Witch is just as important and the film-making overall is slightly better. But I love Zootopia and would agree it’s one of the best of the year, so far.

  3. Good to see Midnight Special get some love. Also I am dying to see Hunt for the Wilderpeople!

    • We are also dying to see that film too! Glad to hear you liked Midnight Special too, I was starting to feel alone in my love for it based off of some feedback we have gotten. Thanks for the comment!
