Top 23 of 2016
2016 definitely wasn’t my first year of cinephilia, but it feels in many ways like the first concrete step towards it becoming my all-consuming passion. From joining and becoming immersed in Twitter to watching more and more to writing on here, Seattle Screen Scene, and Brooklyn Magazine, it’s been rather extraordinary.
The following list is formed from the reds, oranges, greens, and blues that I have seen at time of writing that were commercially released in New York City in 2016. It is woefully inadequate and incomplete, but nothing ever is in cinephilia.

1. Manchester By The Sea (Kenneth Lonergan)

2. Mountains May Depart (Jia Zhangke)

3. Cameraperson (Kirsten Johnson)

4. My Golden Days (Arnaud Desplechin)

5. The Handmaiden (Park Chan-wook)

6. Right Now, Wrong Then (Hong Sang-soo)

7. Kate Plays Christine (Robert Greene)

8. Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party (Stephen Cone)

9. O.J.: Made in America (Ezra Edelman)

10. Elle (Paul Verhoeven)

11. Certain Women (Kelly Reichardt)

12. Things to Come (Mia Hansen-Løve)

13. SPL II: A Time for Consequences (Soi Cheang)

14. Cemetery of Splendour (Apichatpong Weerasethakul)

15. The Edge of Seventeen (Kelly Fremon Craig)

16. Creepy (Kiyoshi Kurosawa)

17. Aquarius (Kleber Mendonça Filho)

18. Sunset Song (Terence Davies)

19. The Shallows (Jaume Collet-Serra)

20. Sully (Clint Eastwood)

21. Shin Godzilla (Hideaki Anno)

22. Everybody Wants Some!! (Richard Linklater)

23. Love & Friendship (Whit Stillman)
My Top 10 Discoveries During 2016 (for first-time viewings of films made before 2000)
- A Brighter Summer Day (1991, Edward Yang)
- Chungking Express (1994, Wong Kar-wai)
- Trust (1990, Hal Hartley)
- Wavelength (1967, Michael Snow)
- Manhunter (1986, Michael Mann)
- The Devils (1971, Ken Russell)
- Carlito’s Way (1993, Brian De Palma)
- Out 1 (1971, Jacques Rivette)
- Ran (1985, Akira Kurosawa)
- Days of Being Wild (1990, Wong Kar-wai)
In conclusion:

2016 Film Poll #2: Senses of Cinema
Ryan Swen
Freelance film critic, Seattle.
Based on 2016 New York City commercial releases.
1. Cameraperson (Kirsten Johnson, 2016)
O.J.: Made in America (Ezra Edelman, 2016)
Kate Plays Christine (Robert Greene, 2016)
If there was one genre of film that felt truly innovative this year, it was documentary, and these three films stood out as revolutionary in their own way; even more importantly, all are intensely passionate and emotional.
2. Manchester by the Sea (Kenneth Lonergan, 2016)
The most achingly moving film of the year, but also delightful, shocking, and sensitively interior.
3. Shānhé gùrén (Mountains May Depart, Jia Zhangke, 2015)
Both a grandiose affair and a slow-burn melodrama, this film is multi-faceted and heartbreaking in a way that grows in the mind with each passing day.
4. Trois souvenirs de ma jeunesse (My Golden Days, Arnaud Desplechin, 2015)
A wonderfully nostalgic film as beguiling as the subject’s undying love.
5. Agassi (The Handmaiden, Park Chan-wook, 2016)
While most of the other films on this list aim for subdued minimalism, this film sounds the call for maximalism loud and clear, marrying a delightfully twisted narrative with the most pleasurable romance of the year.
6. Certain Women (Kelly Reichardt, 2016)
L’Avenir (Things to Come, Mia Hansen-Løve, 2016)
Aquarius (Kleber Mendonça Filho, 2016)
A triple bill of women living their quotidian lives, impeccably and empathetically looked upon by masterful, quietly audacious directors.
7. Jigeumeun-matgo-geuttaeneun-tteullida (Right Now, Wrong Then, Hong Sang-soo, 2015)
The most conversational and confessional film of the year, twice.
8. Rak Ti Khon Kaen (Cemetery of Splendour, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2015)
Appropriately mesmerizing filmmaking on every level, woven in with a history that always seems just out of reach.
9. Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party (Stephen Cone, 2015)
The Edge of Seventeen (Kelly Fremon Craig, 2016)
Two films about teens that feel wholly, agonizingly authentic.
10. Shā Pò Láng Èr (SPL II: A Time for Consequences, Soi Cheang, 2015)
Kurîpî (Creepy, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, 2016)
The Shallows (Jaume Collet-Serra, 2016)
Shin Gojira (Shin Godzilla, Hideaki Anno, 2016)
Four great arguments for genre filmmaking, all executed with brutal precision and their share of thrilling highs and only slightly less amazing lows.

Mike D’Angelo’s 100-Point Scale
100-90: Masterpiece, or damn close. Very rare.
89-80: Fanthefucktastic. Near-lock for my year-end top 10 list.
79-70: Definitely something special. Do not miss. Likely list contender.
69-60: Very good, but also flawed or missing some crucial element.
59-50: Didn’t quite work for me, but has many redeeming qualities.
49-40: Demerits clearly outweigh merits.
39-30: I really did not enjoy this picture, but talent was involved.
29-20: When will this fucking picture end. When.
19-10: Outright fiasco and/or unwatchably boring.
9-0: One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Very rare.
W/O: I don’t know the director and the first two reels (about 35 to 40 minutes) didn’t convince me that (s)he has it going on.
On Letterboxd, shift all of the point values up 1 (aside from 100 and 0, of course) to get my star ratings (5 for the first tier, 4.5 for the second, etc.).
Blake Williams’ Richter Scale
A+ 9.4 – 10.0 [Top 10 of All Time contender]
A 8.6 – 9.3 [Masterpiece]
A- 7.8 – 8.5 [Pretty great; Near-masterpiece]
B+ 7.0 – 7.7 [Kinda great; Contender for Top 10 of its year]
B 6.2 – 6.9 [Has a special something]
B- 5.4 – 6.1 [Solid]
C+ 4.6 – 5.3 [Doesn’t arouse any particularly strong emotions either way]
C 3.8 – 4.5 [Useless; Mediocre; Significantly flawed]
C- 3.0 – 3.7 [What a failure]
D+ 2.2 – 2.9 [What-a-failure with cheese]
D 1.4 – 2.1 [Grating]
D- 0.6 – 1.3 [Offensively horrific; Horrifically offensive]
F 0.0 – 0.5 [Worst of All Time consideration]
On Letterboxd, the tiers proceed in half points for Williams’ star ratings (9.5-10.0 for the first tier, 8.5-9.4 for the second, etc.).
Miscellanea
Dan Sallitt’s color-coded lists use the colors red, orange, green, blue, and purple in decreasing order of liking. (parentheses below indicate my corresponding rating for the objective version)
The Movie Nerd Discussion Group uses a rating system of PRO/pro/mixed/con/CON; to conflate it with the ++/+/+x/x/xx Critics Roundup scale, they are as follows:
100 points, an ecstatic reaction/75 points, positive/50 points, mixed, ambivalent or barely positive/24 points, negative/0 points, extremely negative.
The Skandies group utilizes Leonard Maltin’s 4-star scale, with no 0.5 rating. (For my own purposes, I use D’Angelo’s interpretation.)

D’Angelo’s scale is my baseline.
