Top 10 2016 Movies

https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/12/the-50-best-movies-of-2016.html?a=1

From the gallant, heroic soldiers of 13 Hours to the giddy cute courageous bunny from Zootopia, 2016 has been inundated with great films - written books coming live to Hollywood, old directors creating new pieces of work, movies based on "true events", untold biographies, heroes doing their heroic duties as usual, etc. From it, we have terrible movies, great movies, underrated movies, and overrated movies; a whole list that people can choose from and like. I couldn't resist but create my personal list of favorite top ten 2016 movies.

Note, the list will not include superhero films, animations, or documentaries. I believe they belong to their own sub-category list. Some films are not family-friendly or appropriate for every audience. I have not watched every 2016 film; feel free to recommend any additional 16' films I should consider. Again, this list is fundamentally based on films I've enjoyed watching and targets different genres and settings.

10. Loving (PG-13)

A relatable depiction of high school awkward phases, awkward relationships, awkward conversations, awkward humor, and awkward awkwardness. I can only relate to you, Erwin Kim.
