6.) Hateful 8 [1/15/2016]

Quentin Tarantino has long been know for making excellent pastiche films: Reservoir Dogs, Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and so on.  With Hateful 8, he makes a pastiche of Tarantino films, borrowing the best parts of each of his films to make a weird conglomerate that doesn't really hold together well.  It was long, full of unnecessary digressions, and overly violent without any context for the violence.  If this was his first movie, I would have been interested in a second film, but seeing as this is really late in his career, I was left feeling like he might be out of tricks.
