  1. Fireworks Wednesday (2006)
    The film possesses a quiet, considered tension that draws the viewer in.
  2. Elvis & Nixon
    Elvis & Nixon will not go down as the best movie you’ll see this year, but it very well may be among the most purely entertaining.
  3. The Jungle Book
    It’s a marvel of filmmaking created from nothing (and one of the more meaningful uses of 3D in recent memory as well), and Favreau stages one scenic tableau after the next with uncommon skill.
  4. Sing Street
    Few films are ever as enjoyable and endearing as Sing Street.
  5. Green Room
    The plot unravels beautifully, at a pace that’s methodical but still anxiety-inducing, building up an air of psychological fear so impenetrable that the only relief from it is an occasional splattering of visceral horror or an even more rare quip along the way.
  6. Hush
    Hush‘s madman makes himself visible and vocal to his prey from the get-go. As a result, Flanagan and Siegel both get to lay their cards on the table early, freeing up their characters to focus solely on how to outsmart one another.
  7. Louder Than Bombs
    Louder Than Bombs is a ghost story disguised as a domestic drama.
  8. The Boss
    After their muddled but well-meaning Tammy, McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone’s follow up is a superior mix of jokes, to the point that even when the film misses its mark, McCarthy and her crew wheel and deal to the bitter end.
  9. Hardcore Henry
    The film starts to risk adrenaline fatigue after the first hour.
  10. Demolition
    Much like the characters themselves, all of these off-kilter and seemingly disparate elements come together far better than they should and something just a little beautiful happens as a result.
  11. The Invitation
    The Invitation is supremely well-crafted.
  12. God's Not Dead 2
    There is a tone of anger that sneaks out of the film in even its moments of levity.
  13. I Saw the Light
    It should be impossible to turn this kind of raw material into such an interminable slog, and yet somehow writer and director Marc Abraham...managed to do just that.
  14. Kill Your Friends
    Kill Your Friends is effective and enjoyable in the way that dusty music compilations are.
  15. Born to be Blue
    Born to Be Blue serves as an honest and heartfelt ode to not only Chet Baker, but those who revel in the occasional highs and neverending lows that overwhelm the pursuit of art.
  16. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is about as unmemorable a movie as you’ll find in 2016. Everything about it, from Vardalos’ screenplay to the limp retreads of the first Greek Wedding’s better moments, stinks of an extended HBO special that somehow made its way to theaters.
  17. Krisha
    Krisha, directed by first-timer Trey Edward Shults, is a masterful opera of discomfort and hurt feelings.
  18. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice isn’t a film. It’s a two-and-a-half-hour movie trailer. Better yet, it’s one of those videos that pop up on screens before a ride at Universal Studios, where all the actors speak to you and keep hinting at bigger things to come — you know, like a ride? Basically, it’s everything the SEO-friendly title promises — and more.
  19. Eye in the Sky
    It’s a film with no easy answers, and rightly, Hood doesn’t strain to offer them. If the film’s attempts at barbed satire don’t land as well as its graver moments, it’s nevertheless an effective look at the new kind of war.
  20. Pee-wee's Big Holiday
    It’s not exactly the repeat masterpiece of yesteryear, but that was never going to happen. Instead, it’s a proper and agreeable reunion for fans who grew up, but still have that hungry desire to toss aside reality and enjoy a little unadulterated fun.
  21. The Bronze
    The Bronze is so satisfied with its own winking crassness that it lets epithets constitute everything it has to say. Between that and the film’s scene-by-scene tonal shifts, what could’ve been an off-kilter curiosity curdles into a dull roar of disappointment.
  22. Miracles from Heaven
    There are plenty of fantastic films with Christian messages, but Miracles From Heaven is more interested in simplistic proselytizing to a heavily evangelical market that just wants their own existing beliefs confirmed. This is what makes the film so frustrating to watch; for the vast majority of its runtime, it’s essentially a good (if not great) family drama.
  23. My Golden Days
    Arnaud Desplechin delivers a thrilling reminiscence that romanticizes and believes in youth’s ungraceful but intense splendors.
  24. Don't Think Twice
    Don’t Think Twice is a brisk, engaging watch. It’s sweet, it’s melancholy, and, perhaps most importantly, it’s hilarious. And despite the film’s soft teeth, it’s still the most honest and unfiltered exploration of improv comedy you’re likely to find out of Hollywood.
  25. Midnight Special
    Only in its final stretch does Midnight Special start to lose its distinct identity.
  26. Everybody Wants Some!!
    A lot of it’s funny — especially any scenes involving Powell’s admittedly charming Finnegan or Hoechlin’s testy McReynolds– but hanging out with these guys eventually becomes a chore.
  27. The Brothers Grimsby
    Grimsby’s provocative, but not stupid. It knows what kind of humor it wants to achieve, and often scores big.
  28. Embrace of the Serpent
    This is that rare film that has the power to transform, to shake one’s belief system so thoroughly that one feels like a slightly different person walking out of the theater.
  29. 10 Cloverfield Lane
    Approach 10 Cloverfield Lane on its own terms, let Trachtenberg and his top-notch cast (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher Jr., and a ferocious John Goodman) yank you into their world, and try not to sweat through your clothes.
  30. Creative Control
    Creative Control ably captures the entitled narcissism of modern Brooklyn twentysomethings by way of a plausible near-future,
