I have to think on this but wanted to drop the thread for others if they know theirs right away.

Checked my tv likes in Exeter's thread so I would say:
Wrecked
Good behavior
Westworld and Stranger things ( tied ) for my 2016 favorites.
On movies, I will have to think on that one I know I liked The Revenant as one...now to think on the other two I would add.
Keanu ( loved this comedy)
10 Cloverfield Lane would be the 3rd choice...it's hard to remember all I really liked in 2016 but ones I liked the most were anticipated ones and they didn't fail to entertain me.
I'm always bad at putting together a Top Whatever list because I don't tend to have a solid idea of where I rank things. In other words, when I like things enough it is hard for me to say "Oh, I liked A a little better than B and B a little better than C." It tends to be I just loved all my favorite stuff equally. LOL!
However, as far as movies.... I definitely can tell you two of the ones from 2016 that would be WAY at the top of my list:
Deadpool and Ghostbusters (the new one from 2016). :) Not that this would surprise anybody who knows me even a little. LOL!
Damn -- that's a hard one to narrow down.
TV --
1. Vice principals
2. American Gothic
3. Westworld
Movies --
1.Deadpool ( agree with Jester)
2.The Hateful 8 ( was that 2016, idk but I'll list it )
3. ( I'll leave blank can't think of a 3rd atm)

[MENTION=42177]pcmaster[/MENTION] ..haven't seen the Warcraft movie , is it a gamers movie?
Well you would understand more if you were a gamer but you still can understand movie even if you never played game. Its more about impressive beautiful graphics and story are explained during the movie.
I never did get into WOW (World of Warcraft) and therefore did not see that movie. However, the buzz I'd heard from friends who WERE into WOW wasn't all that good, at least from the perspective of an actual WOW fan. But, again, that's only going based on word of mouth. I don't know for myself.

Can you find the Leah Remini show online? If so could you suggest a website, thank you.
[MENTION=77017]lovebroken[/MENTION] I am not sure. It's on A & E, so try their website. I record the episodes on my PVR and watch them there, or I watch them live if I am at home in time. If you can't find it on the A & E website, try streaming it from another website, like prime wire or something? That's my suggestion. It's an excellent docu-series and extremely eye opening. If you are interested in learning more about the cult that is Scientology, also check out the documentary Becoming Clear.
Thank you, melancholia. I will look for the documentary too and watch that first. I find the whole concept interesting that people can follow Scientology and buy into what it says, and that so many high profile celebrities swear by it. It is why I am curious to watch a celeb denounce it such as Leah Remini after spending her life in it.
I like that so many people are putting Deadpool on their top list. :) Warms that cold dark place where I'm supposed to have a heart. :D But... you know... only slightly. It's still pretty cold.
[MENTION=77017]lovebroken[/MENTION] My apologies, it's actually Going Clear, not Becoming Clear; but anyway, it talks about why so many celebrities have become Scientologists, and why they stick around for so long. Leah Remini: The Aftermath explains more why regular people get caught up in it and why the cult seems so appealing, so if you watch both the film and tv docs, you will get a great level of insight as to why so many people get caught up in it and why it's so hard for them to get out.
I always wonder about that death of John Travolta's son and how much him being a Cult follower played into what kind of medical care that child received.
Oh, it would have played into the medical care he got 100%. Scientologists don't believe in science and medicine, they believe each person should be able to cure their own problems on their own.

Thank you, I found links to the docu so I can watch that this weekend and after that follow up with the episodes ( when I find them ) of the tv series with Leah Remini. I wonder when people especially celebrities break away from a religion like this are they harassed and made to suffer for leaving or does the church just ignore them and are seen as non entities now.
It depends (you will learn this from Leah's show). If you are a high profile member of Scientology, or a member of the SEA-Org (an organization made up of the most dedicated Scientologists, who live communally and dedicate their lives to the service of Scientology), they will be harassed, stalked, and slandered by PIs and other personnel hired by Scientology. It's INSANE what this cult is (supposedly legally) able to get away with. I really hope this docu-series jump starts the take down of this abusive, horrible cult, masquerading as a religion. It's NOT religion, religion talks about love of all people, and their followers are free to come and go and will not be looked down upon; nor does it require thousands upon thousands of dollars to be a member. Religion is about faith. Faith in humanity and faith in one's god, not some crazy human being who clearly had a serious mental illness, who was succeeded by an abusive sadist (David Miscavige). By the way, members of the SEA-org, who get pregnant are forced to have abortions; and husbands/wives/parents/children are all kept separate and are not allowed to live with each other if they are members of the SEA-org.
That's awful. Isn't this all based off the mind of a science fiction writer? Wonder why people think they don't deserve more than to be abused and used by that organization and why celebrities even find it attractive at all, you'd think it would hurt them being associated with something that abuses so many. Church should be dismantled and FBI should get involved.
Both the HBO documentary and Leah Remini's show do a great job of explaining how and why so many people fall into the trap, and why celebrities do as well. Going Clear explains more about why celebrities get into it and Leah's show explains more about why/how regular people fall into it. It's all cult mentality. If you look at ANY cult, they all follow the same formula. It's very interesting, but also extremely sad and frustrating to watch as a compassionate outsider.
Tom Cruise is the poster child for this cult -- cannot even imagine how many poor victims he himself has brought into that crazy cult. I always thought him and Travolta and even Alley were in their because gay and wanted to have that erased or some stupid shit and were told Scientology could help them with it. Because they didn't go in as a child like Remini did with her family.
Wanted to add into here from my previous comments. I saw Going Clear and wow what an interesting and informative documentary. Now looking forward to viewing the Tv series mentioned in here next.
I forgot Broadchurch, not sure we had new ones in 2016 but I watched one that we had in that year, catching up and now a new season is back now.
I think you guys in the USA got a American version of the show too.
I think I recall that show, megvoh..I didn't watch it though.
I dont know story line of WoW since I dont get into story when playing game. But in a movie was something for everyone.Quote:
