The Best 2. 01. 6 Movies, As Ranked By Empire Magazine. We’ve revelled at The Revenant, delighted at Denis Villeneuve, battled with Batman and Superman, gone ga- ga at Ghostbusters, rocked out with The Rock, marvelled at Marvel, and hunted for some wilderpeople. There’s been a raft of memorable 2. Empire staff, are 2. Note: This list reflects films released in the UK between January and December 2. Room. Lenny Abrahamson’s adaptation of the best- selling novel by Emma Donoghue centres on two exceptional performances. Brie Larson earned all the headlines, of course, for her Oscar- winning turn as the captive of a barely- seen Fritzl- esque kidnapper; but a then seven- year- old Jacob Tremblay, playing her son, very nearly steals the show.

It’s through his fairytale perspective that we experience a turbulent and traumatic set of events, turning what could be a clichéd drama into something distinctive and oddly uplifting.

Son Of Saul. There have been plenty of films that tackled the unspeakable horrors of the Holocaust, so it takes a filmmaker of singular vision to place a fresh spin on it. Son Of Saul is no less harrowing or soul- searching than those that came before it, but in its riveting story of the Sonderkommando’s revolt, it presents a tale of resistance rather than victimhood, and frames it almost entirely via a close- up of Géza Röhrig’s extraordinarily emotive face. Stream Son Of Saul now with Amazon Video Read Empire’s review of Son Of Saul. The Childhood Of A Leader. In a year where megalomaniac fascists have been cheerfully welcomed into mainstream politics, this terrifying account of a small boy who grows up to be a megalomaniacal fascist dictator takes on absolutely no extra real- life resonance whatsoever.

Cloverfield Lane. J. J. Abrams is quite the tease. The original Cloverfield was as memorable for its enigmatic marketing campaign (its first title was simply the release date) as it was for its shaky- cam science- fiction thrills.

Cloverfield Lane, originally entitled The Cellar, continues the less- is- more approach, from the trailers onwards, with otherworldly threats meeting mundane low- key tensions in John Goodman’s claustrophobic bunker. Tommy James and the Shondells’ I Think We’re Alone Now can never be listened to in the same way again. Stream 1. 0 Cloverfield Lane now with Amazon Video. Read Empire’s review of 1. Cloverfield Lane.

Nobody was hankering for another film about financial instability – especially those of us who become instantly comatose at the sight of numbers and stocks. It was lucky, then, that Margot Robbie was on hand to explain all the difficult bits – suddenly the mid- 2. With Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling all delivering knockout performances, director Adam Mc. Kay’s first proper dalliance with drama remains one of the year’s best.

The opening titles to Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals’ feature a number of naked, obese women dancing through clouds of sparkles in slow motion – as if Dario Argento directed a James Bond credits sequence. It’s a fairly startling way to open a film, and what follows is no less surprising, as we flit between a glossy LA high- life and a gritty Texan murder mystery, the lines of fiction and reality blurred. As you might expect from a fashion designer behind the camera, Nocturnal Animals looks extraordinary, but its real power lies beyond the visual.

Creed. There was a time when folk scoffed at the idea of a seventh film in the Rocky series: quickly dismissed as a cash- in, a desperate attempt to keep afloat an ageing and soon- to- be- forgotten boxing franchise. What a happy surprise to find this was actually one of the most thoughtfully- calibrated reboots in memory: affectionately doffing a cap to the spirit of the original, while ploughing its own muscular, confident furrow. Creed is smart, surprising, entertaining, joyful, emotional, and has important, timely, powerful things to say. More, please. Stream Creed now with Amazon Video.

Read Empire’s review of Creed. Sylvester Stallone: in his own words. Hail, Caesar! The seventeenth Coen brothers film is perhaps the most Coen- y of them all, taking in all their favourite elements: a sometimes violent potboiler of a plot, a ‘5. A- list characters (Alden Ehrenreich and Tilda Swinton among the highlights). The madcap tour of classical Hollywood dazzles; the existential and political machinations intrigue.

It’s astonishing how the Coens remain in a league of their own, after three decades of consistent quality, and still make it look simple. Would that it were so simple.. Stream Hail, Caesar! Amazon Video. Read Empire’s review of Hail, Caesar!

Read an interview with Alden Ehrenreich. The ultimate guide to the Coen Brothers. Love & Friendship. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an actor in possession of a good blockbuster fortune, must be in want of a critically- acclaimed indie hit. So it was with Kate Beckinsale, who had spent so much time making countless Underworld sequels that we had almost forgotten what a tremendous actress she really is. And while the corsets of 1.

England could hardly be any more comfortable than vampire- leather, Beckinsale’s piercing wit and sly delivery proves the indisputable highlight of Whit Stillman’s shrewd Austen adaptation (though Tom Bennett's lovable idiot threatens to steal the show). General incivility at its finest.

Anomalisa. Charlie Kaufman is still not particularly cheerful. Good for us, frankly, if he keeps making films like Anomalisa, another exercise in exquisitely artful miserablism, told through the medium of scarily realistic stop- motion puppets. Team America, this ain’t.) Though his outlook may be bleak – given an extra pessimistic twang from the weary Lancashire voice work of David Thewlis – there’s something oddly hopeful, and typically witty, about this strange little tale of a man who only sees the same face and hears the same voice on everyone.

Watch the trailer for Anomalisa. The Witch. With its meticulous period setting and language, The Witch comes across as much like The Crucible as it does your average demonic possession horror. In fact, there’s really nothing average about The Witch at all: a devastating psychological ordeal that works as well taken at face value (the goat IS the Devil) as according to more complex theories.
