88.) Concussion [12/26/2015]

This year has been a year for films that explore insidious cover-ups by large, powerful organizations (Spotlight, Sicario, etc. etc.) and Concussion continues that trend, where Dr. Bennett Omalu (Will Smith) plays the righteous David and the NFL plays the powerful Goliath; despite the fact that most of this excellent film was spent discussing medical issues (including several montages of actual studying), the film was surprisingly tense, and Will Smith gave what might have been his best performance ever.
