Best films of 2016: We take a look at the top 10

As much as I love watching films, I dare not add up how many hours of my life I have dedicated doing just that.|

This year, it was probably less than previous years – so there are going to be omissions that some may find baffling.

It was a great year for thrillers and comedies with strong social commentary.

Despite the usual barrage of action blockbusters, not many stuck.

Golden Globe nominated Deadpool was the best of the bunch but not good enough to make the cut.

Honourable mentions: Art of the Prank, Little Sister, Weiner, The First Monday in May, Eye in the Sky, Microbe and Gasoline, 10 Cloverfield Lane, 45 Years, Green Room, Don’t Breathe, Arrival.
