  1. Midnight Special
    Only in its final stretch does Midnight Special start to lose its distinct identity.
  2. 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.
  3. The Brothers Grimsby
    Grimsby’s provocative, but not stupid. It knows what kind of humor it wants to achieve, and often scores big.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Creative Control
    Creative Control ably captures the entitled narcissism of modern Brooklyn twentysomethings by way of a plausible near-future,
  7. Knight of Cups
    There’s a note of reflexive, self-aware irony to it, but portions of Knight of Cups feels as though they’re indulging in precisely this same kind of early-college navel-gazing.
  8. The Wave
    To have seen a disaster movie before is to have seen The Wave. But if there’s not necessarily anything remarkable or new about the film, Uthaug finds ways to make the familiar immediate, with a fraction of the money usually involved.
  9. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    Fey delivers the performance like the super-capable talent she is, with range and authenticity. She’s a character with a fully expressed arc, foibles and all. She’s the dramedy’s best weapon.
  10. Zootopia
    There’s a depth to the city that shows how far the form has come in a short time, and Zootopia is better off for it, especially when it still ultimately doesn’t break away from the familiar Disney formula as much as some of the studio’s other recent films have managed.
  11. Right Now, Wrong Then
    The way Right Now, Wrong Then yields different results, moods, and beats as the result of minor shake-ups in the opening scenes is beyond fascinating, often charming, and at times amusingly uncomfortable.
  12. Holy Hell
    Holy Hell ropes us in with tales of delusion before chilling us with tales of terror.
  13. London Has Fallen
    London Has Fallen is terrorism porn, an alarmist, jingoistic piece of CGI-soaked garbage that implores its audience to fear nothing after sensationalizing the slaughter of innocents and the destruction of a major city.
  14. Triple 9
    It’s great when a film leaves you wanting more, but not when you weren’t given much to begin with.
  15. Gods of Egypt
    Gods of Egypt is a dull, meandering, plastic mess of pre-2002 CGI and performances as flat as the green screens behind them.
  16. Mad Max: Fury Road
    Not only has George Miller made an effective return to the wasteland of the Mad Max universe with Mad Max: Fury Road, he has surpassed most action films released … well … ever.
  17. Eddie the Eagle
    Eddie the Eagle trips plenty, but Eddie, insufferable as he may be, represents the people that in spite of failure being visible at the bottom of a 90-meter ski drop, still take that leap.
  18. Race
    Race is a film best enjoyed for its mild ambitions and accomplishments, which easily beat out its missteps.
  19. The Witch
    It falls short of an instant classic. It’s not a mind blowing achievement in horror. But The Witch is a solidly good film.
  20. Mountains May Depart
    Perhaps the film’s most striking quality is its restraint. Thematically and stylistically, it’s a film of quiet medium shots, long takes, and clear but evasive words. Every choice is tiny, but humane and usually deliberate.
  21. Zoolander 2
    Zoolander No. 2 invokes that old Simpsons headline: “old man yells at modern culture.”
  22. How to Be Single
    How To Be Single doesn’t break much at all in the way of new ground, but it’s a decent walk over well-trodden territory.
  23. Deadpool
    It’s hard to imagine a movie much more aware of itself both as a movie and as a moment in a cultural progression of similar movies than Deadpool.
  24. Diamond Tongues
    Although it stumbles a bit at the end with a self-aware redemption that isn’t entirely earned or particularly in character, Diamond Tongues is still a brilliant and realistic portrait of the young artist as a bitter borderline failure.
  25. The Choice
    For a film that hinges so much on the chemistry and charm of its two leads, it’s tough to recommend The Choice on even those grounds.
  26. Where to Invade Next
    It’s a very good op-ed in favor of America’s ability to live up to its potential and build itself into a country that actually represents the idea of liberty and equality that it’s espoused for so long. Thanks to the humor with which it’s presented, it’s also a pretty decent testament to the potential future of the country’s satire.
  27. Hail, Caesar!
    There’s a lot going on in Hail, Caesar!, but in the end, it’s all a bit too silly to register as important.... Nonetheless, Hail, Caesar! satisfies that one criterion that matters most in Hollywood, and will for time immemorial: it’s entertaining as hell.
  28. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
    A comedy of manners and femininity gets bisected by gnarly effects, and the two-tone approach works in its way.
  29. Swiss Army Man
    Frenzied, kinetic filmmaking is hit or miss, but The Daniels are showcasing their talents as opposed to showing off.
  30. Yoga Hosers
    While Yoga Hosers continues Smith’s quest to push himself into increasingly strange and uncomfortable directions as a filmmaker, it’s either too derivative or too malformed to work the vast majority of the time.
