  1. Marshall
    Boseman, wildly charismatic, captures Marshall as a magnetic figure, and his drive and fervor are intoxicating.
  2. The Foreigner
    Despite the bait-and-switch of Chan’s limited presence in the film, The Foreigner is slightly better than it appears on paper. Chan and Brosnan offer believable, intense performances, and Campbell coaxes Chan’s style into an abrasive brutality with moments of occasional invention.
  3. Happy Death Day
    Happy Death Day is a lot of fun when it allows itself to have fun.
  4. Lucky
    It’s a striking debut, and the kind of outing that will invariably leave audiences wanting to see more from Lynch behind the camera in the future. But Lucky is a showcase for Stanton above all things.
  5. Brawl in Cell Block 99
    It’s not easy, balancing careful character development and a vivid sense of place with the bloodlust of expectations, but Zahler’s done it here.
  6. The Florida Project
    The film exudes pure humanity in every frame, in all of its messiness and splendor and tragedy, and much of that raw emotion is owed to the performances.
  7. The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)
    Baumbach uses this twisted reunion as a brilliant funnel for all of his world-building — and it’s quite a story, broken down into multiple sections, no less. Yes, he goes nuts with the exposition, but there’s little offense here considering, well, that’s exactly how it would go down in reality.
  8. Kingsman: The Secret Service
    Director Matthew Vaughn’s latest film, Kingsman: The Secret Service, is an attempt at finding a balance somewhere between Austin Powers and James Bond that doesn’t quite succeed.
  9. Woodshock
    There’s agony in the margins of every frame, but it remains muted beneath so many layers of color and so many hands drifting across surfaces.
  10. 1922
    It helps that Hilditch has Jane in the central role. Along with Carla Gugino’s turn in Gerald’s Game, Netflix has two of the strongest performances in any King adaptation to date.
  11. Blade Runner 2049
    Blade Runner 2049’s legacy will be estimated by both its ability to capture the spirit of the original and tell an enticing story in its own right. By virtually every measure, it succeeds — whether it’s Villeneuve’s careful, calculating directorial eye, Deakins’ sharp, distinct cinematography, or the film’s eye-popping visual design.
  12. American Made
    American Made speaks in shorthand, in its visual and narrative language alike, and it’s less the ribald ripped-from-the-headlines commentary it aspires to be than a cynically breezy take on an ugly, unduly buried chapter of American history.
  13. Gerald's Game
    Despite a handful of faults, it’s that rare horror film that works on both a psychological and a visceral level.
  14. Battle of the Sexes
    If Battle of the Sexes is more than a little slight in places, it more than makes up for its shortcomings through sheer entertainment value.
  15. Stronger
    For the majority of its runtime, Stronger manages to escape the traps that populate such films. It’s worth seeing, and worth your investment. Let’s just hope that next time around, Pollono and Green find a way to stick the landing.
  16. Kingsman: The Golden Circle
    It’s a big, vulgar, Saturday morning cartoon of a film, to both its benefit and detriment.
  17. First They Killed My Father
    Out of an act of war, Jolie has created a film of real compassion.
  18. The Shape of Water
    Filmed in aquatic hues and bathed in nostalgic mid-century style, The Shape of Water is both a love story and a love letter to monster movies, musicals, and classic cinema. Del Toro’s affection for the genres – and for the magic of film in general – is clear in so many charming and not-so-charming touches.
  19. Professor Marston & the Wonder Women
    Angela Robinson, who wrote and directed the film, has managed to take what could have been a tawdry or salacious look into Wonder Woman’s naughty roots and give her real-life characters – and their genuine love for each other – the same amount of respect that any vanilla, monogamous heterosexual historical figure would receive.
  20. Lady Bird
    Despite hitting so many classic coming-of-age hallmarks, Lady Bird never feels anything but fresh (and refreshing). This is, in part, due to the the film’s remarkably realistic performances.
  21. American Assassin
    American Assassin never transcends the exploitation at its core.
  22. Brad's Status
    While the ride is often entertaining and the performances mostly satisfying, it’s a frustrating experience, like watching the journal of the least self-aware person you’ve ever met come to vivid, whining life.
  23. mother!
    It’s a dizzying, sadistic feature, and may well be Aronofsky’s most biting work since Requiem for a Dream, but it’s also concerned with some deeply painful and humane material. Where that film aimed for repulsion of a literal bent, however, Mother! is far more concerned with horrors of the allegorical variety.
  24. Molly's Game
    Molly’s Game is a successful crime drama, but it’s also a film that acknowledges the presence of both good and bad luck in the pursuit of excellence. Most importantly, it allows failure to exist as a living and breathing entity, rather than a tragic ending or a fate simply suffered by the morally impure. And that is what you might call exceptional.
  25. Downsizing
    Payne’s heart might have been in the right place with this one, but the execution feels flippant at best.
  26. Suburbicon
    It doesn’t work on a purely aesthetic level or as a political statement, and the combination of the two goes together about as well as a mid-level Coens comedy and a morality play about racism masquerading as a thesis.
  27. The Killing of a Sacred Deer
    While the quality of the film’s craft is up for little debate, though, it’s overall appeal and impact are far more polarizing.
  28. It
    The whole movie is affecting, so much so that Pennywise doesn’t even matter. In a way, he’s more of a McGuffin to the real horrors at hand, from parental abuse to violent bullying to the unnerving revelation that life has only just begun.
  29. Goon: Last of the Enforcers
    Goon: Last of the Enforcers often feels far more like a stock sports film than its predecessor, and that’s what ultimately turns it into a highly underwhelming follow-up.
  30. Death Note
    In adapting Death Note for a presumably American audience, Wingard loses the whole of its identity, and never finds a different one with which to replace it.
