  1. The Company Men
    Kevin Costner, as Bobby's carpenter brother-in-law, does the finest character acting of his career.
  2. Blue Valentine
    Blue Valentine is lushly touching and gorgeously told.
  3. 127 Hours
    A true-life adventure that turns into a one-man disaster movie - and the darker it gets, the more enthralling it becomes.
  4. Another Year
    What it does have is an overwhelming bittersweet melancholy at the passing of life from middle age into…well, you could call it late middle age.
  5. Boxing Gym
    A riveting and unexpectedly inspiring essay on the peace that comes from shared physical and mental concentration.
  6. Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench
    Damien Chazelle's extraordinary black-and-white retro dream of a feature debut.
  7. Tiny Furniture
    Tiny Furniture is proof, against steep odds, that there are no small stories, only small storytellers.
  8. Poetry
    Facing a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, the older woman enrolls in a poetry class, desperate to find the words to describe beauty before language fails her. She does even better: She herself becomes a kind of poem about what it means to really see the world.
  9. Super 8
    Loving, Playful, and spectacularly well made, Super 8 is easily the best summer movie of the year - of many years.
  10. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    Fincher has made The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo into an electrifying movie by turning the audience into addicts of the forbidden, looking for the sick and twisted things we can't see.
  11. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
    Ghost Protocol brims with scenes that are exciting and amazing at the same time; they're brought off with such casual aplomb that they're funny, too.
  12. Bridesmaids
    She's an Everywoman you can believe in, showcased in the kind of deft comedy of feminine passion - where deep despair meets Wilson Phillips - that a great many people have been waiting for. Now that Wiig and company have built it, will they come?
  13. Crazy, Stupid, Love
    Nothing more (or less) than an enchanting light comedy of romantic confusion... It's a movie that understands love because it understands pain.
  14. The Descendants
    Another beautifully chiseled piece of filmmaking - sharp, funny, generous, and moving.
  15. A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas
    Merrily outrageous, over-the-top fun.
  16. Melancholia
    A movie masterpiece...is Lars von Trier's ecstatic magnum opus on the themes of depression, cataclysm, and the way the world might end.
  17. The Deep Blue Sea
    In this typically exquisite, nuanced, memory-infused work from master British filmmaker Terence Davies, we believe every minute of the torment of Hester (Rachel Weisz).
  18. Meek's Cutoff
    Temperamentally in sync with her "Wendy and Lucy" director, Michelle Williams plays one of the toiling wives. And the actress, with her calm center, compresses the entire history of frontier wifeliness into the concentration with which she gathers firewood and loads a musket.
  19. The Wizard of Oz
    The Wizard of Oz remains the weirdest, scariest, kookiest, most haunting and indelible kid-flick-that's-really-for-adults ever made in Hollywood.
  20. Skyfall
    The third starring the totally captivating cool cucumber Daniel Craig as Agent 007 - is both an elegy and a mission statement. It's also a great, long-lasting jolt of pleasure.
  21. If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front
    The film sweeps us up like a thriller, forcing us to at least ask whether terrorism like the ELF's (which targeted property, never human lives) might ever be justified.
  22. Tabloid
    At 88 minutes, Tabloid is short and sweet (it's pure movie candy), but by the end we've forged an emotional connection to Joyce McKinney at the deep core of her unapologetic fearless/nutty valor. And that's what really makes a great tabloid story: It's a vortex that's also a mirror.
  23. Star Trek Into Darkness
    Into Darkness is a sleek, thrilling epic that's also a triumphantly witty popcorn morality play. It's everything you could want in a Star Trek movie.
  24. Mysteries of Lisbon
    This enveloping dream of an epic narrative experiment comes from the great Chilean-born, France-based filmmaker Raúl Ruiz (Time Regained).
  25. Gravity
    The miracle of the movie is the way that director Alfonso Cuarón, using special effects and 3-D with a nearly poetic simplicity and command, places the audience right up there in space along with them.
  26. A Separation
    Farhadi is no mere formalist. His film is a spiritual investigation into the rise of women and the descent of male privilege in Iran, and a look at the toll that has taken. In a movie of flawless acting, it is Moadi - terse, proud, angry, haunted - who shows us that rare thing: a soul in transition.
  27. Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey
    A marvelous movie.
  28. Le Havre
    The setting is somewhere between a post-WWII Brigadoon and the environs of Marcel Carn classic "Children of Paradise," but the story is as timely as this morning's news from Europe.
  29. Pariah
    Rees presents this vivid, hidden culture with raw honesty.
  30. Miss Bala
    Loosely based on real events, this harrowing, superbly made drama by fast-rising filmmaker Gerardo Naranjo (I'm Gonna Explode) is Mexico's 2012 submission for Best Foreign Language Film - rightfully so.
