Below, we collect every year-end Top Ten list published by major film critics and publications. This page will be updated throughout December and January whenever new lists are published; be sure to check back frequently.

Critics pick the best movies of 2016

Below is our updated running tally of the films most frequently mentioned by individual critics on the year-end Top Ten lists. Note that if a critic ranks more than the standard 10 films, we will not include films ranked 11th or worse. (Beginning this year, we do include unranked lists of 11-20 titles, though each film gets just one-half of a point.) In case of a tie for first or second, each film will receive the full points for that position. Our points system works as follows:

3 points for each 1st place ranking

for each 1st place ranking 2 points for each 2nd place ranking

for each 2nd place ranking 1 point for being ranked 3rd - 10th, or for being included on an unranked list of 10 or fewer titles

for being ranked 3rd - 10th, or for being included on an unranked list of 10 or fewer titles 0.5 points for being included on an unranked list of 11-20 titles

Individual critic top ten lists

Below are the 256 individual top ten lists published by the film critics regularly included in Metacritic's score calculations, as well as a few extra lists from additional prominent film sources. Some critics merely list films without ranking them in order; such lists are displayed below, without numbers, in alphabetical order.
