:
1. Silence - This Martin Scorsese masterwork is most assuredly going to stay as my #1 of the year. I can't imagine any other film knocking it off its perch.

Heavy on Hollywood there, SBD, but that's OK. However, there were unusually few Hollywood blockbusters that made it to my list this year. Which is strange, because there is usually a pretty good selection between the more independent or 'arty' stuff I also like.
The ones that DID make it were ARRIVAL, JASON BOURNE, HACKSAW RIDGE, 13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI and A MONSTER CALLS. Also, in honourable mentions: ROGUE ONE, THE HATEFUL EIGHT, DEEPWATER HORIZON and 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE.
So except for 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE and A MONSTER CALLS, none of the films on your list made much of a (positive) impact on me, I'm afraid. I'm seeing MOANA next week, in preparation for a hopeful interview with directors John Musker and Ron Clemens.

I'm finally catching up on the remaining 2016 films I needed to see. My top 10 of the year will likely be:
1. Silence
2. La La Land
3. Paterson
4. Hail, Caesar!
5. Patriots Day
6. The Light Between Oceans
6. Lion
8. Love & Friendship
9. Manchester by the Sea
10. Hacksaw Ridge or Moonlight for now. Or something unexpected I haven't considered, but will later see and be wowed by.
