  1. The Lost King
    Like so many of Frears’ films, The Lost King works because of the compelling cast on hand.
  2. Alienoid
    Alienoid is a movie that wants to be everything and satisfy everyone, and when you try to satisfy everyone, you invariably end up satisfying no one.
  3. Sharp Stick
    Dunham's latest has a particularly game cast, and a solid concept, but Dunham makes this feel like a collection of mismatched ideas and inconsistent characters.
  4. Avatar
    Cameron’s epic can still thrill the audience with breathtaking set pieces, bring them to tears with moving moments, and amaze people willing to explore a fantasy land like no other. Every frame is developed with such care that the movie remains one of the most beautiful works of art ever created by Hollywood. [2022 re-release]
  5. The Strangers
    The Strangers might not be the kind of horror movie I’ll revisit time and time again, but it will stick with me, finding ways to freak me out with minimal resources.

    Melissa P.
    Guadagino’s second film as a director isn’t unwatchable by any stretch of the imagination but lacks the clarity of vision that would dominate his later work. While it certainly features impressive performances from young stars Maria Valverde and Primo Reggiani, there’s not much that distinguishes Melissa P. from other coming-of-age dramas.
  7. Holes
    Every scene of Holes is risky since it avoids easy answers and exposes some uncomfortable truths about the justice system.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The Protagonists
    Fans of the Italian director have probably not seen it, and it’s surely the strangest film he’s made, with signs of his favorite cinematic elements he would bring into later, more well-known films.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Run Lola Run
    What the cast and crew of Run Lola Run achieves is pure innovation in film.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Fallen
    Contrary to the film's critical reception, Fallen stands out as one of the most interesting portrayals of demonic possession ever put to film (not to mention managing to be a compelling detective thriller).
    • 86 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Hard Boiled
    Hard Boiled escalates perfectly, with the action starting out spectacular, and then getting increasingly grand in scale and ambition as things march along. The whole final act is particularly great, and largely responsible for making the movie an all-timer among action/crime flicks.
  12. Batman Returns
    The passion that was brought to creating the perilous and dark world is just so spectacular to take in. If modern superhero films had even one iota of the creativity of this one, they wouldn’t grow so tiresome.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dead Poets Society
    It is Williams’ portrayal of Keating and his earnest passion that effectively conveys the film’s message as the excitable and unique teacher leaves the audience longing to be inspired.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Miracle Mile
    Miracle Mile could've easily coasted on the virtuosity of its stark tonal pivot, but Steve De Jarnatt expands upon these contrasting emotional modes by examining our relationship towards love and death.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Slumber Party Massacre II
    This insanely fun sequel takes the franchise in a musically supernatural direction. It's a bizarrely entertaining film full of disturbing imagery, amazingly memorable kills, and one of the best finales in horror history.
  16. Predator
    The film tackles an age-old theme of man versus monster, but does so in a way that creates a strangely perfect balance between action, science fiction, and even a dash of horror.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gardens of Stone
    It's certainly not Francis Ford Coppola's most well-known war movie, but Gardens of Stone is a pretty decent one, and does feel somewhat underrated.
  18. Aliens
    Cameron taking the most thrilling aspects of what worked in Alien and punching them up into an action film fits the xenomorphs (and their queen) much better.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Care Bears Movie
    It would have been easy to phone in generic songs and performances, but the creative team surprisingly put in a good deal of care for a movie about colorful bears.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Last Hurrah for Chivalry
    With Chivalry, John Woo scored an early hit that’s too often overlooked and under-appreciated. It’s a film of tremendous skill and promise, and a masterpiece in its own right.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Something Wicked This Way Comes
    Despite its flaws, Something Wicked is the great standout from Disney’s experimental phase under Miller.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Watcher in the Woods
    The Watcher in the Woods is a great movie for seventy minutes, but the subpar ending really does stain an otherwise solid watch.
  23. He Knows You're Alone
    The problem with He Knows You're Alone is that it's, well, boring. The characters are likable enough but dull, the subplots go on too long, there are more jump scares than suspense, the killer isn't all that scary, and his kills are mostly bloodless.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    North Dallas Forty
    It's both biting and prescient in its satirical message that details the contrast of the desires of selfish individual player taking precedence over the team mentality that the coaches encourage in the locker room.
  25. Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles
    Not only is it a stunning piece of filmmaking that is as rich in detail as it is patient in its exploration, but it also makes the most of absolutely every single element of its slice-of-life portrait.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Tentacles
    If you aren’t charmed by Tentacles’ impressive cast or fascinated by the film’s clever use of octopus skills, surely you will be won over by the film’s campiness that culminates in an underwater orca versus octopus showdown.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Young Frankenstein
    In addition to just being side-splittingly funny, Young Frankenstein is an aesthetic triumph.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Messiah of Evil
    Given its troubled production history, Messiah of Evil is far from perfect. Mood can only get you so far when not much happens for a good hour of the film. But it flows with the blood of New Hollywood in its veins, defining the wave as more than just gritty dramas and excessive blockbusters.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Buck and the Preacher
    By boldly balancing historical responsibility with modern social critique, Poitier establishes his Western masterpiece as both a time capsule and timeless adventure, flowing effortlessly between the genre’s entertaining shootouts and robberies and the prescient commentary of subverting racist systems by all means necessary.
    • 100 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Tokyo Story
    Tokyo Story, Ozu’s 1953 magnum opus, has frequently been acclaimed by filmmakers and critics alike as the greatest film ever made, and it very arguably could be. Regardless of where you’d place it on the hierarchy of the “best ever’s", Tokyo Story is certainly the ultimate family film—that is, the ultimate film about family and what family actually means.
