For the third week in a row, notable moviegoers tell us the best movies they saw last year. We'll have at least one more of these in the newspaper -- after that we'll run some lists on the blood, dirt & angels (blooddirtangels.com) blog.
Mark Thiedeman, filmmaker (Last Summer, White Nights and Sacred Hearts, Holy Souls):
I'm very much looking forward to seeing a few films that haven't made their way to Arkansas yet, including Toni Erdmann, Silence, I Am Not Your Negro, Paterson and Neruda, but here is an evolving list of favorites from an outstanding year of movies, and where to find them:
10.The Childhood of a Leader (Brady Corbet) -- Corbet's wild and precocious debut borrows from Sartre and is made all the more chilling by our recent election. Imagining the youth of a future dictator, Childhood explores the seedlings of fascism and the ways in which sex and gender dynamics shape young minds -- sometimes dangerously. (On Netflix)
