Director: Mario Cornejo
Cast: Sid Lucero / Ana Abad-Santos / RK Bagatsing
Gwen Zamora / Annicka Dolonius/ Archie Alemania
Distributor: Arkeofilms
Release Date: 26 October 2016
"Apocalypse Child is a mature, thematically complex, yet thoroughly entertaining work. It is that rare piece of work that can be appreciated on all levels. It can be taken as just a sad little love story, or expanded into greater themes of culture and memory. This film just deserves to be seen."
Philbert Ortiz Dy, ClickTheCity.com
10. DOCTOR STRANGE
Based on Doctor Strange by Stan Lee & Steve Ditko
Director: Scott Derrickson

Tilda Swinton
Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Box Office: Php307,918,259
$656,741,387 (WW)
"A nice balance of solemn myth making and genre irreverence lifts Doctor Strange to Marvel's first tier of movie franchises. A title card promises his return, and not one but two end credits scenes confirms it, as soon as next summer. The doctor is in. Make an appointment."
Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times
9. SING STREET
Director: John Carney
Cast: Ferdia Walsh-Peelo / Lucy Boynton
Maria Doyle Kennedy / Aidan Gillen / Jack Reynor
Kelly Thornton
Distributor: The Weinstein Company
Release Date: 14 September 2016

"Sing Street is a wholly appealing genesis of teenage romance and music-group therapy for one Irish boy and a instant retro classic for those still hungry like the wolf."
Brian Truitt, USA TODAY
8. CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

Sebastian Stan / Anthony Mackie / Don Cheadle
Jeremy Renner / Chadwick Boseman / Paul Bettany

Release Date: 27 April 2016
Box Office: Php704,064,902
$1,153,304,495 (WW)
"Captain America: Civil War has an unshakeable faith in these decades-old characters: they’re not wrangled into standing for anything other than who they are, with no gloss or reinterpretation or reach for epic significance required. This is the cinematic superhero showdown you’ve dreamt of since childhood, precisely because that’s everything - and all - it wants to be."
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
7. MOANA
Directors: Ron Clements & John Musker
Cast: Auli'i Cravalho / Dwayne Johnson / Rachel House
Temuera Morrison / Jemaine Clement
Nicole Scherzinger / Alan Tudyk
Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Release Date: 30 November 2016
Box Office: Php174,134,172
$347,287,730 (WW)
"Everything in the picture, from the characters’ clothes and hairstyles to the vessels they sail, bear the stamp of authenticity. But Moana’s greatest strength is the verve in which they move the action along and the sheer joyousness evident in every aspect of their storytelling."
Soren Andersen, The Seattle Times
6. KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS
Director: Travis Knight
Cast: Art Parkinson / Charlize Theron / Ralph Fiennes
Rooney Mara / George Takei / Matthew McConaughey
Distributor: Focus Features
Release Date: 12 October 2016
Box Office: Php1,030,578
$69,929,545 (WW)
"Kubo And The Two Strings is a lovely, unforgettable film about creativity and storytelling - about creating one's own fate by taking charge of one's story. And about learning to love others by sharing in their stories."
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
5. ANG BABAENG HUMAYO
Director: Lav Diaz
Cast: Charo Santos-Concio / John Lloyd Cruz
Nonie Buencamino / Sharmaine Centenera-Buencamino
Michael de Mesa / Marj Lorico / Mayen Estanero
Romelyn Sale / Lao Rodriguez / Jean Judith Javier
Mae Paner / Kakai Bautista
Distributor: Star Cinema
Release Date: 28 September 2016
"Ang Babaeng Humayo is a taut exercise in which every shot burns with condensed emotions and human empathy. Lav Diaz has also taken his conventional ingredients - the literary source, the revenge-noir narrative, the top-billing A-lister - and produced something that is greater than the sum of its parts."
Clarence Tsui, The Hollywood Reporter
4. ROOM
Based on Room by Emma Donoghue
Director: Lenny Abrahamson
Cast: Brie Larson / Jacob Tremblay / Joan Allen / Sean Bridgers
William H. Macy
Distributor: A24
Release Date: 17 February 2016
Box Office: $36,222,822 (WW)
"Room is a film about entrapment. Yet it’s also one about liberation, about letting go of one’s fears and moving on from trauma. At one point Jack asks to be shorn of the locks he has been cultivating since infancy. It’s a revelatory, transformative moment in a film you won’t find nearly so easy to say goodbye to."
Neil Smith, Total Film

Box Office: Php50,690,689
$1,023,784,195 (WW)
"Bursting with a rich blend of timely themes, superb voice work, wonderful visuals and laugh-out-loud wit, Zootopia is quite simply a great time at the movies."
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Liev Schreiber / John Slattery / Stanley Tucci
Distributor: Open Road Films
Release Date: 10 February 2016
Box Office: Php425,613
$90,065,169 (WW)
"For all of its modesty and dedication to process, Spotlight winds up being a startlingly emotional experience, and not just for filmgoers with intimate knowledge of the culture it depicts."
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
1. YOUR NAME.
Based on Your Name by Makoto Shinkai
Director: Makoto Shinkai

Aoi Yuki / Kaito Ishikawa / Kanon Tani
Distributor: Toho
Release Date: 14 December 2016
Box Office: $288,803,434 (WW)
"Part body-swap comedy, part long-distance romance, part... something else. If any film has the right to be called this decade’s Spirited Away, it’s this one."
Dan Jolin, Empire
