The 10 Best Movie Scenes Of 2016 (So Far)

2015 was supposed to be the big one. A year of huge movies - long-awaited sequels to Star Wars, Mad Max and Jurassic Park, a second Avengers, another Bond from Craig and Mendes and not one but two Pixar flicks - the likes of which we'd never seen before. It was the year of Tom Cruise dangling out of a plane during take-off and of DiCaprio making an epic journey of revenge through the snowy wilderness.

4) The Witch – The Coven

For more than an hour, Robert Eggers’ sublime New England horror The Witch retains a feeling of semi-realism whilst always merely teasing the supernatural. In its final scenes, with all but Anya Taylor-Joy’s Thomasin slaughtered and family goat Black Phillip transformed into some kind of Satanic cowboy, Eggers’ movie tips over into full-on, operatic horror.

The Witch‘s final scene is arguably its finest. In that moment, the film enters a kind of dream (or rather nightmare) state, as Thomasin – stark naked – enters the ominous forest neighboring her family’s farm to join a coven of witches. She joins them around a fire, before levitating up into the sky, cackling. It’s an out-there climax of surprising confidence from a first-time director.
