  1. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
    For a film that invites so much self-aware chortling over franchise in-jokery, you feel Spider-Verse has missed something essential from its own screen history.
  2. Tarnation
    Painfully beautiful autobiographical kaleidoscope.
  3. Microcosmos
    The revelation of Microcosmos isn’t just that the insect world has a complex and stirring order — it’s how close these bugs come to having minds.
  4. Murderball
    The filmmaking is as strong as the subject matter, with an elegant structure.
  5. Life Itself
    In the end, cancer may have cruelly taken Roger Ebert's voice, but it couldn't silence his greatest gift: his ability to speak to his audience directly, honestly, and with empathy. Thumbs up.
  6. The Shape of Water
    It's both weird and wonderful.
  7. Caché (Hidden)
    The picture moves with stealth, enjoying its own thriller-ness as hints are laid and mislaid. There's a sense that Hitchcock is hovering in the background and cheering for Auteuil, who musters all his French superstardom to play a man having his mask of blandness torn off.
  8. The King and the Mockingbird
    The fairy-tale tableau lifts from Hans Christian Andersen but is shot through with bits of burlesque sci-fi, including a giant robot with an orchestra in its chest.
  9. Bisbee '17
    There’s no denying that Bisbee ’17 has some moments of deep elegiac power or, for that matter, that Greene’s ambition is boundless. But by the end, I often felt like his blurring of the past and the present was an experiment that was easier to admire than be swept up by.
  10. All About My Mother
    Almodóvar's masterwork, is a spectacular synthesis of everything that has always interested him -- proud women, lovely boys, beautiful drag queens, grand movie stars, gorgeous frocks, wild wallpaper .
  11. Moneyball
    The supersmart and rousing Moneyball, which may be the best baseball movie since "Bull Durham," is also about talk, but in a coolly heady and original inside-the-front-office way.
  12. Rushmore
    Murray, meanwhile, turns in a thrillingly knowing, unforced performance--an award-worthy high point in a career that continues, Max Fischer style, to defy the obvious at every turn.
  13. Force Majeure
    It's the rare kind of moviegoing experience that will haunt you long after you leave the theater and lead to some very awkward conversations with your spouse.

    I Know Where I'm Going!
    The writing-directing team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger is best known for Technicolor wonders The Red Shoes and The Tales of Hoffman, but I Know Where I’m Going!, a far less famous black-and-white romantic fable, is as charming as anything in their oeuvre.
  15. Blow Out
    Deliciously twisty and twisted.
  16. Ten
    A glimpse into a society that has grown more open, more free, and also more casually selfish in its interpersonal aggression.

      Ty Burr
    Point Blank
    The lead character has been aptly renamed Walker, and, as played by Marvin in what may be the actor’s most emblematic performance, he strides through Los Angeles like a gangland golem: watchful, unstoppable, frighteningly silent.
  18. Tangerine
    Tangerine is touching for its non-condescending stance toward working girls and the spirit of the sidewalk.

    sex, lies, and videotape
    Compulsively watchable.
  20. The Tillman Story
    Unravels the deceptions -- and the deep dishonor -- that inflated life-size valor into fake superheroism.
  21. To Be or Not to Be
    One of Hollywood’s funniest, and most poignant, classics.
  22. Room
    Room is more than the title of one of the year’s most powerful movies — it’s a state of mind that’s unbearably tense and as claustrophobic as a straitjacket
  23. Anatomy of a Fall
    Films (and novels) are meant to reflect our lives back to us, to hold up a mirror and give us a way to engage with the more thorny issues of our existence via storytelling. Triet is both inviting us to do that with Anatomy of a Fall and warning against putting too much stock in the stories we read and tell ourselves (or is she?).
  24. The English Patient
    Lusts for catharsis yet never quite gets there, because, for all of its bitter romantic anguish, it ultimately coalesces in your head rather than your heart.
  25. Nebraska
    Nebraska isn't a perfect movie. It's often hard to tell whether Payne, an Omaha native, is paying heartfelt tribute to his vast stable of Cornhusker characters or slyly mocking them as simpleminded yokels.
  26. Like Water for Chocolate
    With its cowlike Cinderella heroine pining for forbidden love while she slaves over her bewitching recipes (and knits a shawl as long as a city block), Like Water for Chocolate offers old-fashioned romantic masochism-Harlequin pulp-dressed up in a magical-realist veneer. It makes being a happy homemaker seem wondrous again.
  27. Under the Sand
    Ozon specializes in dissecting the vulnerability, erotic longing, and garbled intentions with which people regularly rub up against one another.

    Written on the Wind
    Boiling over with heated acting and schmaltzy scores, Douglas Sirk’s ’50s melodramas tap neatly into our collective trash psyche. Penetrate the surface, however, and they’re as serious and heartfelt as their director was.
  29. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
    It's a little sad to say that aside from certain surprises, much of Across the Spider-Verse's contents were in the trailers. The job of a trailer is to show viewers the premise of a movie without spoiling the conclusion — but there's no conclusion here!
  30. Heavenly Creatures
    If the pleaures of Heavenly Creatures remain defiantly on the surface, on that level the movie is a dazzler.
