  1. 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.
  2. A Monster Calls
    Mixing horror movie imagery with honest, heart-wrenching human truths, Bayona has created a dark, coming-of-age masterpiece.
  3. 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.
  4. Phantasm: Ravager
    Phantasm: Ravager will disappoint the uninitiated, but those who are loyal will find enough to love.
  5. 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.
  6. Split
    Shyamalan ingeniously places his leading man front and center, where McAvoy amuses and horrifies as the cliché plot points sometimes stumble.
  7. Deepwater Horizon
    Berg offers a visceral experience that overwhelms with startling humanity.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. A United Kingdom
    A United Kingdom hits all of the necessary emotional notes and political intrigue of a solid historical figure drama.
  13. Mascots
    It might be a lesser addition to the Guest oeuvre, but it’s a welcome one nonetheless
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Blair Witch
    Blair Witch is disappointing on multiple levels, all of which have nothing to do with the franchise.
  18. Snowden
    Snowden is a film of sincere outrage, even when it strains to articulate that outrage in a less from-the-headlines manner.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Arrival
    [A] truly remarkable film.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
  26. The Sea of Trees
    It would have been one thing to settle for vapid sentimentality, but what makes The Sea of Trees so galling, as it turns the afterlife into a game of riddles, is how manipulative it is.
  27. The Light Between Oceans
    The Light Between Oceans is an effective melodrama, but the lingering sensation the film leaves after its end is that it might have been much more.
  28. XOXO
    XOXO is goofy and stickily sweet, like a mystery lollipop handed to you at an Avicii concert, but the film also lacks a strong take on the culture it’s documenting. It’s full of rave and fury, signifying nothing.
  29. Morgan
    Morgan isn’t hard sci-fi. It isn’t trying to solve the questions that have suffused the genre since its inception. Rather, it couches those ever-more-timely concerns in scenes of high action and affecting character connection.
  30. Cameraperson
    Johnson, being a primary voice behind some of this century’s most important documentaries, is a particularly qualified candidate to chronicle life in this way, and her greatest feat, one I can’t imagine anyone else achieving, is her ability to tell the story of her life without ever once talking about herself.
