Cinema Eclectica’s Top Movies of 2016

Rob Simpson 28/12/2016

As with any year, the past 12 months have had their share of running themes. 2016 was far from a banner year for the superhero film, outside the fourth-wall-breaking filth of Deadpool (just missed out on a top 20 slot), there were an awful lot of middling to average films. […]
