Many of them did not deserve to make so much money, but a few may have been halfway watchable, and an even smaller number actually &#8220;good.&#8221; Which of the year&#8217;s mega-hits did you see? More importantly, which did you enjoy and which were a waste of your time?<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve taken a very loose approach to defining what constitutes a &#8220;blockbuster&#8221; here. Basically, any movie that grossed over $100 million domestically is on the list. For some of these movies that cost well more than that amount to make, a $100 million box office take is actually considered a flop (e.g. &#8216;The Good Dinosaur&#8217;). Nevertheless, for an arbitrary cut-off point, that seemed as good as any.<\/p>\n<p>You may have seen movies this year that you consider better than any of these. Unfortunately, if they didn&#8217;t make big money at the box office, they weren&#8217;t blockbusters and are not the subject of this poll. However, if you were a big fan of &#8216;Mistress America&#8217; or &#8216;Tangerine&#8217;, feel free to sound off about that in the Comments.<\/p>\n<p>Vote for as many options as you&#8217;d
