I haven't actually been to a cinema since 2011, when i saw The Adjustment Bureau in Toronto. Where i live, the Cineplex is way, way out at the other end of town (an hour's walk, at least) and besides, they only seem to screen films that are aimed at idiot teenagers. But i love film. Too bad i rarely have time to watch more than one a week -- and i watch them either on DVD or as files on my computer.
Here's everything i watched in 2016 (titles marked with an asterisk were films i watched for the first time -- the others were all repeats).

And what (i hear you ask) was my favourite of the new ones? I dunno, probably "Gettysburg," although it was far too long. Best performance by an actor in a film that was new to me, would have to go to Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role in "Lincoln," absolutely brilliant.
Of those i'd seen before, well, i never tire of "The Adjustment Bureau" or "Love, Actually" or "Source Code." "Jason Bourne" i watched twice in three weeks -- i love the Bourne films in general but i found this one very confusing.
A word of caution, though, kids. I downloaded "Anthropoid" as a torrent. It wasn't very good and i deleted it immediately, but i was fined $200 by the company that distributes the film in Canada, who tracked me down through my IP address.
