I feel like that list should be flipped on it's head or something but to each their own.

Here's a top 9. Haven't found anything to fill a 10 yet. Based on this list, can someone maybe give me some recommendations? I've been thinking about checking out "Spotlight", "Carol" and "Room" but I don't wan't to waste time on anything bait-y.

1. The Revenant
2. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
3. When Marnie Was There
4. Kingsman: The Secret Service
5. The Hateful Eight
6. Gaspar Noe's Love
7. Sicario
8. While We're Young (I have a feeling had I seen Mistress America, it would take place of this. I love me some Baumbach either way.
9. Ex Machina

Top 3 Worst:

*disclaimer*

I feel I’m pretty good at dodging abysmally bad movies, so these probably aren’t the absolute “worst” movies of the year, just the ones I got duped into seeing, or thought might be good based on early word of mouth, and in my opinion weren’t.

3. Avengers: Age of Ultron
2. Southpaw
1. Jurassic World

Check out Spotlight. Not "bait-y" in the slightest imo.
