Most Anticipated Films of 2016

[Foggy]

So Star Wars came out so there's pretty much nothing else out now until next year. So it's time to look forward to what's next in the new year:

10 Most Anticipated

1. High Rise -
   [Show spoiler]Everything about this sounds up my alley, dark satire from one of the most impressive and distinct directors working currently. I loved Cronenberg's take on JG Ballard with Crash and apparently there's a lot of similarities there, so I think this is the one I most interested in seeing.
2. Hail, Caeser! -
   [Show spoiler]Coen Brothers being very Coen-y, looks wacky and fun, with Deakins working on Cinematography and that wonderful cast, should be a lot to feast on even if it looks like a minor film by the duo.
3. Deadpool -
   [Show spoiler]Not a lot to say here, I like my comic book movies a bit grungy and violent and it's a character I enjoy. Hope Reynolds perseverance with the product reaps benefits in the end.
4. The Witch -
   [Show spoiler]Always one Horror film every year that promises to be distinctive and truly effective and apparently this year it's this one. Let's hope so.
5. Midnight Special -
   [Show spoiler]I love low-key sci-fi films like this. Jeff Nichols is a director who has impressed my on each of his films yet has fallen short of greatness, here's hoping this one is a home run through and through.
6. Everybody Wants Some -
   [Show spoiler]Linklater doing a successor to one of my favourite films ever. Can I buy my ticket now please?
7. Captain America: Civil War -
   [Show spoiler]Probably the most impressive looking Summer blockbuster out the lot, hopefully it's be the one to bring the 3rd Phase of the Marvel movies to more serious territory.
8. The Nice Guys -
   [Show spoiler]Just seems like a lot of fun, I enjoy Shane Black and Crowe and Gosling seem to have good chemistry, the time period seems fully enriched and it's dark around the edges to be less than predictable, hoping it's a bit of a sleeper hit.
9. Suicide Squad -
   [Show spoiler]Unsure as to how well this will work since Ayer made one really great film and one of the worst films ever back in 2013, but the concept sounds different enough, with what looks like a Heat-style film with supervillians, it'll at least be new and challenging as opposed to the other DC film that looks to be coming out.
10. Kubo and the Two Strings -
    [Show spoiler]Love Laika animations despite Boxtrolls being a let down, but this looks different from their typically dark and grungy aesthetic, with more whimsy and character, hoping this is the breakout hit for those talented guys.

Runner-up: Green Room -

[Show spoiler]No trailer for this so can't include it in my top 10 but really enjoyed Blue Ruin and the word of mouth for this is stellar the reaction to it being compared to that of Whiplash, can't wait to see something from it.
