I certainly didn’t get to see nearly as many movies as I wanted to this year but here are the 10 best that I saw. My main criteria for a good/great movie is execution (Manchester by the Sea), rewatchability (Captain America: Civil War) and in-theater entertainment (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story). If a movie did one or more of these things, it was certainly under consideration.

1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (film)
2. Captain America: Civil War
3. Deadpool
4. The Nice Guys
5. Hidden Figures
6. Arrival
7. Manchester By the Sea
8. Doctor Strange
9. Magnificent Seven
10. Zootopia
