Douglas Laman's 20 Best Movies Of 2016 (Part Two)

I thoroughly apologize for this taking much longer to get done than I originally planned, but hey, here we are and now it is finally time to look at the other half of my 20 Best Movies Of 2016 piece, which includes my pick for the best film of 2016 overall!

Douglas Laman's 20 Best Movies Of 2016 (Part One)

I started out this years Best Movies Of The Year list by wanting to trim down the amount of movies I recognized from 25 to something smaller. I started out doing just 10 of the best movies of the year, then 12, then 13, then 16, then 18 and now I managed to get it down to 20. Yay for brevity! Yes, this is the 20 Best Movies Of 2016, as I cull from the 151 movies I saw from 2016 as of February 17th, 2017, to create a list that examines the best of the best. Plenty of great movies (notably The Handmaiden, The Little Prince and 10 Cloverfield Lane) barely missed this list while I'll freely admit I still haven't many critically raved about movies like Toni Erdmann, The Salesman or I Am Not Your Negro yet. As in the past two years, I rank my movies in alphabetical order instead of from best to worst, though, again as in years past, have selected one movie to be the absolute best of the year.

With all of those formalities out of the way, let's start things off with the first part of my look at the 20 Best Movies Of 2016!
