30 Movies of 2016
I give up. I’ve been late on my posting schedule, so I’m posting my top list of films this year without watching all the 2016 movies I have~ This 2016, I’ve managed to watched 151 brand new movies (dated 2016 on IMDb or commercially released this year), not reaching my 200 mark from last year. However, I also feel I’ve been loving films a lot more than last with a record 16 movies with a clear 4-star rating.
So without further ado~ here’s my list!
