Superb listing and information you always show a keen insight into filmdom. I always wonder if you are not a known Entertainment columnist that is gracing us with your pressense for free.
I would have the same top ten, I might be tempted to include "Creed" at the expense of 'Carol" but it wuld be tough.
I have no doubt that "Vacation" was a steaming pile, but lets not forget “Rock The Kasbah” and the muddled mess that was "Pan" let's hope that puts an end to Peter Pan movies, and lets to skip over the pile that was "Entourage."
Mine was Mad Max and Star Wars to name my top 2. The it would be The Avengers and the worst was Pixels.
I don’t see “Sicario” in your top ten or even honorable mention; I need to know your thoughts on this exceptional if brutal thriller about the Mexican drug trade.
This is one of those movies where I could not take my eyes off the screen; it is one of those where you hold off on any bathroom breaks.
The direction by Denis Villeneuve is superb, the fil is so tightly wound and yes there are some faults with the script but this move keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The acting by Del Toro, Blunt and Brolin is top notch but one of the real stars of this movie is Roger Deakins cinematography, I do not hold anything against The Revenant winning here but the work in this film was outstanding.
I love Mad Max and the rest but Sicario is the best film of 2016.

HONORABLE MENTION:
OTHER BESTS:
And there you go. My thoughts for 2015's best.
Another fine list by Trevor, all excellent movies but I agree with you Jeff there is a place on my top ten list for "Sicario" it was one of the bext movies of 2015 in many ways.

I love your top ten list, all are first rate films but I would have to work "Sicario" and "Creed" there some way or the other and would remove "Ex Machina" and "Spotlight" and that is not because they are not good films.
Oh my fav was Mad Max and then Star Wars, those are two awesome movies, so if I add my thrd it would be Jurassic World.
