Top Ten Most Looking Forward to in 2017

So 2017's prospects in terms of politics, I'll be honest, don't look too great at the moment (though there is some hope), but we should take what pleasures that we can.  Time for me to cast my eyes ahead over the next twelve months, and see what cinematic releases catch my interest.  (Assuming the world is still here to watch them in).

Top Ten Movies of 2016

Here we go, my attempt to extract a bit of positivity out of The Year of the Dumpster Fire in the form of the movies officially released in the UK this year.*  Now bear in mind, this is only of the movies I saw, I didn't catch everything, so this list may change a bit when I finally get round to seeing Swiss Army Man, I Daniel Blake, When Marnie Was There, Hell or High Water, Set the Thames on Fire, and quite a few others.  I will say that this was a tough call, there was A LOT of good stuff out this year, so much so that I could have done a top twenty if I wasn't so lazy. I've had to do quite a bit of soul searching over the last few weeks, if I gave it another day's thought this may turn out completely different, but at this moment, here are my top ten favourite films of 2016.

Top Ten Most Anticipated Movies of 2016 - How did they do?

Well, 2016 is coming to an end, and THANK F*** FOR THAT!!!  I'm not going to get too deep into a discussion about this year, I do enough politics on my Twitter, here I'm just going to talk about movies.  So it's time for my regular three-part look at what I anticipated, what I most I enjoyed, and what I'm now looking forward to.  Let's start with my list of what I was looking forward to at the end of 2015 (how young and innocent I was back then!  We all were.).  As always, I'm going to leave out anything from that list that made it to my top ten of the year, so I'm not repeating myself.
