2016 will always be remembered as a politically volatile year and one which included all kinds of tragic deaths in the world of entertainment. George Michael, Carrie Fisher, Alan Rickman, Prince and David Bowie were among the many creative talents that passed far too soon. There were also another new set of films, with superhero blockbusters, friendly animation and comedies among them. How many of the 15 (in no particular order) do you know?

4 out of 15. I think I only went to the movies 4 times last year.
I went a lot more last year. In stages really. Wouldn’t go for 2 months and then about 4 in a fortnight.
12 out of 15.
A solid score. Hope you had a great Christmas and new year.
Thank you!
Happy New Year.
12 out of 15! Woohoo!
Solid stuff. Hope you had a great Christmas. All the neat for your 2017.
12 out of 15.
That’s not bad. What films are you looking forward to in 2017?
So many to name. I’m currently deciding what to watch this month in the run up to awards season.
13/15. I either saw all of these or were able to guess what they were – except for 4 & 11. Happy New Year, Alex!
I was very disappointed with The BFG. I wasn’t fussed about watching Eddie the Eagle.
Knew all of them! Yay 😀
Awesome. I was wondering if anyone would.
Knew all of them except for Film 11. Much better than I expected to do. Happy New Year, Alex!
That was probably the trickiest one. It’s the true story of a plucky loveable loser type on the ski jump. I don’t think the film did too much outside of the U.K.
Best not mentioned 🙂
You’re always welcome whatever your score 🙂
🙂
10/15! Great stuff, mate. Had fun with it.
Happy we found each other’s blogs. Which was your favourite film of the last year?
Bearing in mind I missed a TON of titles this year, I had a fantastically fun theater experience with the Magnificent Seven. I’m a fan of the original, and while the adaptation wasn’t nearly as smart or well-written, I was engaged in the action, characters, and story. My favorite of the year? I can’t go so far as to assign it that label, but I sure did enjoy it!
I didn’t see it. Always nice when you have a great cinema experience.
I got twelve 😀
That’s not too bad. What was your biggest disappointment film wise of 2016?
I’d have to say batman vs Superman. How about yours?
I think plenty would agree. I was really disappointed with The BFG. I’m a huge fan of Dahl and with Spielberg involved too just seemed so promising. But it was so flat.
I didn’t get two. I guessed Zootopia instead of the correct title for Film 2 and didn’t get Film 13. Have seen 11 of the films listed.
That’s even more impressive then. Well done Lloyd.
Thanks Alex.
14/15 only missed eddie the eagle 🙂
Impressive stuff Rob. Very little gets past you. Are you familiar with him at all?
Nope. Should I be?
I didn’t see it. He was a loveable loser type. Funny it being made when Britain is at a sporting peak. We’ve even won gold medals at the Winter Olympics.
I got a full 15/15. Some say I’ve wasted my time, spending all year at the cinema. I regret nothing. I didn’t speak to my mates for a full 365 days just so I could complete this quiz!
Superb score. Sure they understand. What was your best/worst film?
Out of that 15, I’d have to say Arrival was the best and – sigh – Ghostbusters was the worst. I was SO looking forward to it being good; then I was just SO looking forward to it being over. What about you?
Arrival closely followed by Rogue One. I didn’t see Ghostbusters which sounded like a good move as reviews from everyone were pretty poor. Really didn’t like The BFG at all.
Whoo-hoo! Only seen seven, but I knew all fifteen! I credit all the reviews I’ve read over the year more than what I’ve seen. A Happy New Year, Alex, and may it be better than the last!
Impressive stuff. Well done. Some great films to look forward to this year.
Well…. I got them all. Do I watch too many movies?! ; ) lol (Although, I’ve not seen all these!)
Superb stuff. I never doubted you! Which films are you most looking forward to this year?
I honestly haven’t looked into what’s coming out! Well, the next Star Wars. Of course! : ) And there are a lot I want to see over the next few weeks: A Monster Calls, La La Land, Split…
Alex, just want to wish you a brilliant and serene 2017…
I wish it back double your side 😊
So kind…thanks Alex!
There are a few here I haven’t seen.
I don’t normally watch scary movies but I’m watched a couple of mild ones to get a fix on seeing ghosts, this reminded me that I have far to good an overactive imagination to watch scarey films.
The films I watched
The Others and Sixth Sense.
I saw The Sixth Sense and a few other horror films but I’m way too jumpy to watch many.
12/15. That felt great, I thought I was missing out on films last year.
Thanks, this was enjoyable.
Nice quiz, I done awful though haha
Plenty of others on here I’m sure you’ll ace 🙂
