We Got This Covered’s Top 10 Movies Of 2016

As we head into the final days of 2016, it's time to look back on the past 12 months in film and reflect on the hits and the misses, the surprises and the disappointments. While this year hasn't been particularly strong, at least in our opinion, there were still a handful of notable efforts that moved us, brought us to tears, had us rolling in our seats laughing or standing on our chairs pumping our fists in the air.

10) Nocturnal Animals

Fashion icon Tom Ford bravely stepped into the cinematic spotlight with his 2009 drama A Single Man, which earned Colin Firth his first Oscar nomination and Ford towering praise as a filmmaker, a seamless transition between two polar opposite arts that was no small feat.

Fast-forward to 2016 and finally, we get a follow-up film from Ford in the form of Nocturnal Animals, which definitively proved that the man is no fluke. The movie has earned him two Golden Globe nominations for Best Director and Best Screenplay, in addition to a supporting role nomination for Aaron Taylor-Johnson, which could’ve easily been parlayed with co-star Michael Shannon.

Co-leads Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal violently orbit one another like a binary star in this sleek thriller, delivering a pair of powerhouse performances driven by strength and deepened by vulnerability. Carrying a sultry silkiness throughout and Ford’s attentive visual flair, there’s no denying that Nocturnal Animals is one of 2016’s must-see films.
