Everyone ? including us ? has a top-10 list of 2016's best films. But maybe you've seen all those movies (or all the ones you intend to). Maybe you're looking for less predictable or more comprehensive suggestions. If those lists leave you hanging, the list below ? the 150-plus films that were favorably reviewed by our critics this year ? should keep you occupied at least until the top-10 lists of 2017 come around.
