Best Movies of 2016

Is this it boys?

EMMA STONES UGLY FACE IS DISTRACTING AS FUCK

FLAC OST WHEN?

>Is this it boys?
Lol nah senpai i got this

FRANKLY, yes

a film with very few flaws

I saw every movie of 2016 and can confirm that yes La La Land is the best movie of the year

nah prob american honey or elle

not as good as BvS though

La La Land and most other movies up for awards are just low budget meme-flicks

Yep. Breathtaking art direction and cinematography, a winning soundtrack, solid performances, and - ultimately its winning factor - takes something old-fashioned and revives it into something new and exciting.

that's not hell or high water
That's no the nice guys
That's not moonlight

Kill yourself retard

Dishonest flique

yeah i cant think of any as good as this was and i went in thinking it was going to be really overrated and shit

i dont like movies with autists in them and this had at least two

I prefer Fences.
This is 2015.

That was a very sexy video. I have to owe a lot of that to the girl. There wasn't anything she did that wasn't sexy--including the aforementioned curling of the toes. Keep up with the great videos, buddy! You hit it well.

I would say handmaiden but i'm going to watch them both again to say for sure

my top 2016 films so far

1. Batman v Superman Dawn of justice Director's Cut ™
2. Hacksaw Ridge
3. Zootopia
4. Neon Demon
5. Swiss Army Man
6. Train to Busan
7 .Doctor Strange

>best movie of 2016
A Bride for Rip Van Winkle

2016 was a really awful year for film desu

...

LOL

?

every year is now a terrible year for films
same with now every year is a terrible year for video games

Elle was the best, most provocative and most original film of the year

pro tip: you can't

Swiss Army Man is already a timeless classic.

...

that was my #2 of the year. saw around 60 films, and La La Land is my #1. both very fine films.

welcome to Seb's

The premise of that movie sounds so fucking stupid

Is it really worth watching?

Totally.

It's filled with a lot of silly shit but it manages to be one of the more endearing films I've seen in a while.

...

It was very enjoyable and actually quite touching. I loved it

Yes

Kek

This picture makes me really sad

...

S-stop

...

I-I'm gonna cry, user

...

brb. tearing up.

...

goose...no...

>that part at the end where all the movie's themes are blended together into one track

PURE KINO

>no Hail, Caesar

I haven't seen all the Oscar contenders, but of everything I've seen this year, La La Land was easily the best.

Really hoping it wins big at the AAs, but without having its own category like at the GGs I'm not sure how it'll do when put up against the dramas.

>moonlight
Gaaaaaay

i bet you enjoy the films of wes anderson

Reeeeeeddit

silence isn't even out in the uk yet

>DUDE GAY NIGS LMAO

It isn't even out all over the US yet. The closest showing to me is in another state

can't class it as 2016

The fact that it won Director and Screenplay (the latter of which musicals almost NEVER win) bodes well for it imho.

But at the end of the day the final indicator will be the guilds. Remember 2014?

Boyhood was winning everything: Globes, Critics Choice, BAFTAs....

But Birdman was winning all of the Guilds.... and look what won best Picture.

Have the Guilds already done their votes, or not yet?

>limited release the last week of December
>wide release during Awards season

This is what a LOT of lesser known movies do in order to be in contention for Oscars and then use that exposure to release wide to.

Not yet.

SAGS are at the end of the month. La La Land didn't get an ensemble nomination, which normally doesn't bode well for Best Picture but I feel like that had more to do w. the fact that most of the film focused on just Gosling and Stone (is that correct? I haven't seen it yet).

Honestly if La La Land wins DGA and PGA it'll probably win BP. WGA is a bonus, and honestly I'm starting to get the feeling that Stone might take Best Actress in an upset a la Jennifer Lawrence in 2012 where she won the comedy Globe and maybe will win the SAG? I think that's gonna be a tough category to call, but she might get swept up in the La La land Oscar sweep.

Also will be interesting to see if the SAG picks both Stone and Gosling as compensation for not having an ensemble nomination.... then you'd have to wonder if this film not only will sweep but will win the Big 5 Oscars (which only three films have done... and those were the only 5 they won).

1. The Neon Demon
2. Toni Erdmann
3. Kimi no na wa
4. I, Daniel Blake
5. The Handmaiden

Yeah, I can see it not winning ensemble because the movie really is almost exclusively about their characters. There's really only one other character that gets any appreciable amount of screen time, and even then it's not much.

I would love to see Stone and Gosling win, but I have a hard time imagining they're not gonna go for one of the dramatic roles like Casey Affleck's in Manchester (although I haven't seen it yet). Although between the two of them, I do agree that Stone has got more of a shot than conventional wisdom might dictate.

Every damn time ;_;

>that final scene

really fucked my shit up senpai. Absolutely loved it

>shallow self obsessed characters
>bad direction

wtf Sup Forums? Why do people like this mediocrity?

Was this actually good? The first trailer I saw for it looked like shit, so I didn't even bother looking up reviews.

The other day I ended up looking it up finally and saw it got great reception, and I watched another trailer that seemed a hell of a lot better than the first.

yeh its one of the best films of the year

Honestly I have a gut feeling Stone has a very strong chance to win Best Actress.

Portman seems like the frontrunner, but she's young and already has an Oscar. Plus she lost the Globe to Huppert who also has a bit of a chance, but she's in a foreign film so chances are not as many people will see it.

Also Huppert and Portman might split the vote...

Then there's Stone who, chances are, will get a good amount of votes just because:

A.) She's a likable young actress who's venturing into more dramatic roles and was already nominated once for Birdman

B.) She's in a movie where she acts normally, sings, and dances -- the triple threat

C.) If La La Land Sweeps (b/c if it does Win BP chances are it'll end up winning Director, maybe Screenplay, both music awards, and a shit-ton of technical awards) she could get caught up in it and take the Gold. Same with Gosling, though Affleck has the category locked up much more.

If, however, Gosling wins the SAG over Affleck... then we might be onto something.

Literally girl pepe.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to keep an eye on the SAG awards. I'll be happy if it wins a few, but I'd love to see it sweep.

Are these posts satire.

Here, take it (You)

You need to see more than two films

Kelly Lawler of USA Today noted that Gosling's character has been referred to as a "white savior" by critics, due to "his quest (and eventual success) to save the traditionally black musical genre from extinction, seemingly the only person who can accomplish such a goal."[65] The sentiment was echoed by Ruby Lott-Lavigna of Wired, Anna Silman of New York and Ira Madison III of MTV News.[66][67][68]

They're reddit tourists

Even if it doesn't win the acting awards, if it pulls off DGA and PGA, I'd feel safe saying it'll prob. win Best Picture.

Right now I feel like it's the clear front runner in the following categories:

Best Picture
Best Director
Best Cinematography
Best Editing
Best Song
Best Score
Best Sound
Best Art Direction

Not as clear-cut but still high likelihood:

Best Actress (barely here but I still feel comfortable saying there's a strong chance Stone pulls off the win)
Best Costume Design (Jackie is only competition here)
Best Original Screenplay (its a musical which hurts it, but it's had a surprising amount of success so far with the Globe and the Critics Choice tie... Manchester By the Sea is going to be its big competition here though)

Possible win/Nomination at least:
Best Actor

So what we're looking at here is about 12 nominations and between 8 and 11 wins.

In other words... we might have our first massive Oscar sweep since Slumdog Millionaire won 8 Oscars (Hurt Locker also won 6 but.... meh, for me a sweep is 7 or more when it also wins Best Picture... Gravity also swept but lost Best Pic)

did they really need the musical scenes? story was fine without them Tbh

no jamal, you be trippin

I remember before the Globes, they were saying the only nomination it had a good chance of losing was screenplay, so I imagine that'll still be a tough one for the Oscars.

You seem pretty confident, but didn't you say you haven't even seen the movie yet?

Not yet, I'm basing my picks on the precursors so far + the fact that Hollywood likes nothing more than a movie about itself.

Also it seems like (and I've heard it is) a call-back to old musicals films, esp. Vincent Minnelli.

Keeping that in mind, the fact that it won a record # of Globes + won like 8 Critics Choice bodes well for it. Screenplay normally would be one I think it would lose, but again it could get caught up in the sweep AND it won the Globe for screenplay and tied the Critics Choice.

As far as I see, it's going to come down to La La Land vs. Manchester by the Sea for Original Screenplay since I think Moonlight is going into the Adapted category where it's stiffest competition will probably be Arrival or Hell or High Water.

>plebshit even my baby boomer dadrock listening mom knows about
>kino of 2016

god Sup Forums is fucking underage trash

How many fucking acronyms are you going to use

Well I like those predictions. I'm looking forward to the Academy Awards way more this year than I was last year.

>They're supposed to be like that, they're artists in Hollywood dumbass
>Those very character flaws is what starts the argument in the first place
>Notice how the conflict starts when one is successful and one isn't
>Entire subtext on "the starving artist" lifestyle which, although glorified, you completely missed
>Pretending you know fuck all about cinematography when you don't even have basic comprehension of the themes in the movie

city of stars~

>Adapted category where it's stiffest competition will probably be Arrival or Hell or High Water.

Hell or High Water is original, not adapted

his smile and optimism: gone .jpg

>it's supposed to be mediocre

Fuck, my mistake then.

Original will boil down to Manchester v. La La Land

Adapted will boil down to Moonlight v. Arrival (though I'm sure they'll give it to Moonlight, esp. if La La Land wins BP and they want to give it screenplay as compensation)

0/10

'no'

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing Arrival beating out Moonlight.

You never know though. I mean, yeah Moonlight seems like its the Academy's cup of tea, but a good deal of the voters might be turned off by the whole 'gay black' thing and vote for Arrival instead.

I don't think that'll happen, but you never know.

La La Land will get Picture, Actress, Director, music, screenplay and some of the smaller awards.
Elle will get best Forign picture
Vola Davis will win best supporting actress
Best supporting actor is a tossup
Casey A. will get best actor.

Arrival should get it, but most likely will go to moonlight on the adapted.

I DON'T GIVE A GOD DAMN FUCK THAT YOU SHOT HIM!

screener when

there's already an HDrip.

Isn't it missing the opening scene?

Hell or High Water was my MOTY

Now I need to know as I might want to see this movie.
