  1. Tower
    This unique blend of docudrama, action movie, and cartoon immerses the viewer in a way that wouldn’t be possible in a more traditional film.
  2. The Girl on the Train
    The film’s flaws aside (those will come later), Blunt’s performance is a hell of a thing, wholly lacking in vanity and brimming with honest, ugly feeling.
  3. 13th
    13th — at times dampened by its own enormous ambitions — would be even more effective if it tried to do a little less.
  4. Paterson
    One of the director’s finest to date, the film derives its unique power from the repetition of daily life, elevating the mundane to a kind of divinity.
  5. Gimme Danger
    Gimme Danger checks the usual rock doc boxes, but it succeeds because of its smashing subject matter. The Stooges may not be the greatest musical act in history, but they are one of the most lively subjects for a documentary.
  6. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
    It’s visually sumptuous, a heady blend of Burton’s usual broken-doll aesthetic and some seriously impressive visual effects. And most importantly, while long, it’s rarely boring. The bad: It simply doesn’t add up to much.
  7. A Monster Calls
    Mixing horror movie imagery with honest, heart-wrenching human truths, Bayona has created a dark, coming-of-age masterpiece.
  8. Moonlight
    Under Jenkins’ direction, Moonlight is both haunting and poetic, a bittersweet elegy for what could have been. His unflinching camera, which tends to follow the film’s characters like a ghost, gives the film a startling immediacy and emotional power.
  9. Phantasm: Ravager
    Phantasm: Ravager will disappoint the uninitiated, but those who are loyal will find enough to love.
  10. American Honey
    In Andrea Arnold’s sublime film American Honey, freedom is relative, but every once in a while it can feel so damn good that the whole world disappears around it.
  11. Split
    Shyamalan ingeniously places his leading man front and center, where McAvoy amuses and horrifies as the cliché plot points sometimes stumble.
  12. Deepwater Horizon
    Berg offers a visceral experience that overwhelms with startling humanity.
  13. The Eyes of My Mother
    Though it doesn’t end with quite the punctuation it deserves, The Eyes of My Mother is a beautiful nightmare from start to finish.
  14. Beauty and the Beast
    The chief appeal of Gans’ Beauty and the Beast is its sumptuous, ornate production and costume design, and the flamboyant glee with which Gans’ camera captures it all.
  15. Queen of Katwe
    Queen of Katwe shows that a film doesn’t have to give up on the tenets of genre, but has the potential to win big if it can enliven them in new ways.
  16. The Magnificent Seven
    Fuqua isn’t interested in pushing the genre forward so much as respecting and updating the model accordingly. The director focuses on establishing his gang of gunslingers sturdily enough that the action becomes easy to engage with, and even get excited about.
  17. A United Kingdom
    A United Kingdom hits all of the necessary emotional notes and political intrigue of a solid historical figure drama.
  18. Mascots
    It might be a lesser addition to the Guest oeuvre, but it’s a welcome one nonetheless
  19. Free Fire
    Free Fire might be a trifle of a quippy, feature-length shootout, but it’s the best damned trifle of a quippy, feature-length shootout you’ll ever see.
  20. Bridget Jones's Baby
    The most surprising thing about Bridget Jones’s Baby has nothing to do with the perennial singleton’s offspring or the tropes of romantic comedies. What’s surprising is that, despite all the contrivances and stale conventions, this movie’s not half bad, and occasionally better than that.
  21. La La Land
    The superficial thrills of the genre are all present and adoringly rendered, but the actual purpose of the whole exercise is much harder to discern.
  22. Blair Witch
    Blair Witch is disappointing on multiple levels, all of which have nothing to do with the franchise.
  23. Snowden
    Snowden is a film of sincere outrage, even when it strains to articulate that outrage in a less from-the-headlines manner.
  24. The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years
    Eight Days a Week will be of most value to die-hard and casual fans of the band alike, but it’s also a reasonably effective primer on them for anyone who might not yet be initiated.
  25. The Assignment
    Once the giddy critical pile-on and hate-watching settles down, the (justified) moral outrage that (re)Assignment tries to thwart will end up being the regrettable and forgettable film’s only lasting legacy.
  26. Arrival
    [A] truly remarkable film.
  27. Nocturnal Animals
    Lofty ideas of class, thwarted ambition, the superficiality of L.A. life, the nature of love, and the meaning of art are all explicitly addressed – and maybe discussed in a pretentious conversation or two – and then just as easily dropped, as if the simple act of naming themes is enough to establish their continued relevance in the film.
  28. The Salesman
    Given that The Salesman strives to be far more than a revenge thriller, Emad’s story isn’t enough to make it an unqualified triumph, but it’s still a genuinely good film, and worth watching.
  29. Loving
    Instead of simple heroes or avatars for big ideas about equality, Loving delivers complex, imperfect human beings who are struggling to find their place in a far from perfect world.
  30. Sully
    The more affecting moments in Sully come when the film puts aside its posturing and really examines what it is to be heroic in a cynical age.
