The 10 Best Movie Scenes Of 2016 (So Far)

2015 was supposed to be the big one. A year of huge movies - long-awaited sequels to Star Wars, Mad Max and Jurassic Park, a second Avengers, another Bond from Craig and Mendes and not one but two Pixar flicks - the likes of which we'd never seen before. It was the year of Tom Cruise dangling out of a plane during take-off and of DiCaprio making an epic journey of revenge through the snowy wilderness.

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

It’s testament to a director’s ability when he can create a sequel that’s superior to the original, on half the budget, despite having never made a feature – or any film lasting more than nine minutes, for that matter – before. 10 Cloverfield Lane is much smaller in scale than the original, but it beats Matt Reeves’ predecessor by being so excruciatingly tense from beginning to end.

The best part is when Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Michelle, effectively held in captivity by John Goodman’s creepy paranoiac Howard, finally manages to escape the bunker she’s found herself trapped in. It’s a messy breakout, with Howard part-melted by a vat of acid and Michelle forced to crawl away through the air vents, all masterfully executed by first-time filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg.
