This has been a year, and I think we’ve seen some of the best movies of 2016 already! It has been said that the blockbuster movies don’t hit theaters until August or September, in time for award season. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case this year. It seems that some of the best movies came right out of the gate at the start of the year. Here are the best movies so far in 2016.

Ha, I’ve actually seen all of these! I don’t know whether to be proud or sad. Interesting how most of them are kids movies too! Have a great Thanksgiving!
I haven’t seen most of these.., but planning to.
The Jungle Book and the Civil War movie was so good!
This is the best time of year for big movies. Can’t wait!
I am ashamed I have not seen a single one of these movies. I will have to remedy that soon! Thanks 🙂
I enjoyed a lot of these movies as well!
Deadpool was a movie worth waiting for! I really loved everything that I’ve seen so far this year! And with the year ending with Star Wars, how can you not love this year!
I’m really enjoying this year’s fair share of movies! Everything’s been really entertaining and moving so far and I’m looking forward to more movies before the year ends!
Loved Captain America and Jungle Book. I wanted to see Deadpool but my husband and son said I wouldn’t like it so I haven’t. yet.
I haven’t seen any of these movies yet but I need to, Deadpool looks so funny!
I think I’d find these hard to sit through. I really liked the new Harry Potter spin off though.
I love all these, I’m a movie watcher and definitely have to say these are great!
Fun list, I’ve watched all of these except for Jungle Book. Hope to see that soon. Although, the original Jungle Book holds a special place in my heart.
Sounds like an awesome movie. Even though my kids are older we still like cartoons together 🙂 -Glenda
I knew Dory was going to be on there. All the kids, big and little loved that one. 🙂
