  1. Ocean's 8
    Ocean’s 8’s girls-just-wanna-have-grand-larceny conceit is the kind of starry, high-gloss goof the summer movie season was made for, even if it feels lightweight by the already zero-gravity standards of the genre.
  2. The Weather Man
    The Weather Man is what indie misery looks like when re-created by one of Hollywood's big studios.
  3. Respect
    It isn't nearly as compelling a movie as Franklin was a singer, but while the film never fully captures her brilliance, it does at least effectively allude to it.
  4. Hot Shots!
    Hot Shots! offers a satisfying kick in the pants to a movie (and an era) that has more than earned it.
  5. Addams Family Values
    Wittier and more consistent than the first Addams Family movie. Paul Rudnick’s script offers sharp-edged variations on the topsy-turvy Addams worldview, and it’s much better at getting the Addamses out into the straight world, where they can really do some damage.
  6. Traitor
    A slippery entertainment that's all feints and few punches thrown at a fight card of indistinguishable terrorists, Muslim and otherwise.
  7. A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas
    Merrily outrageous, over-the-top fun.
  8. Laurel Canyon
    The characters are tedious, as are the fussy performances of Bale and Beckinsale. Everything good in this rock & roll fantasy belongs to the sexy, worldly-wise McDormand, who makes Jane ripe, real, and irresistible.
  9. Welcome to Collinwood
    Excitement trumps incompetence as one colorful loser recruits another. Pretty soon, the screen is filled with hip actors playing clueless lowlifes, pretending they're in a Bizarro World production of ''Ocean's Eleven.''
  10. Blue Crush
    The final 20 minutes of Blue Crush can stand as one of the few highlights in a movie summer of mostly hollow action-carnival fireworks. The trick, for once, isn't that we're watching superhuman stunts; it's that we're watching deeply human stunts.
  11. Rumble in the Bronx
    Rumble in the Bronx never quite achieves the smack-you-around zest of Chan's Hong Kong pictures. Still, it's hard to dislike a movie with such a friendly sense of the preposterous.
  12. Capitalism: A Love Story
    At its best, Capitalism: A Love Story is a searing outcry against the excesses of a cutthroat time. At its worst, it's dorm-room Marxism.
  13. Secretariat
    This pleasantly rote movie will rouse you.
  14. Day Night Day Night
    A stunt masquerading as a statement.
  15. She's So Lovely
    Re-creating that ensemble buzz and that alcoholically fueled soul scraping is an almost impossible task, but in She’s So Lovely, director Nick Cassavetes, working from an unproduced script by his old man (who died in 1989), gives it a ballsy go.
  16. Nymphomaniac: Volume II
    A notch more watchable than Volume I, if only because Joe, the self-destructive heroine, is now played front and center by the magnetically dyspeptic Charlotte Gainsbourg instead of the vacuous model Stacy Martin.

    Topaz
    Though one of his later films, Topaz suffers from unusual pacing that drags for long stretches, but it also features exemplary Hitchcock suspense sequences, including a brisk escape set piece in Copenhagen and an impossibly tense scene in Harlem.
  18. Wah-Wah
    An overdeveloped coming-of-age potboiler.
  19. Wall
    The interviews Bitton conducts, almost all with Arabs and Jews who share her despair, are less meaningful than what she captures in silence: the sight of farmers separated from their farmland, everyday people thwarted in their dailiness, and children playing next to what looks like prison walls.
  20. Fast & Furious 6
    Check your brain at the door and fasten your seat belt.
  21. Muppets Most Wanted
    The film loses some of its fizz by giving in to a so-so caper plot that unintentionally proves the axiom they were just satirizing.
  22. Onward
    Even at a relatively brief hour and 37 minutes, the familiar contours of Scanlon's story line struggle to conjure the wonder that Pixar’s most transcendent movies do; instead of truly new, it’s mostly old things borrowed, and tinted blue.
  23. This Is Me…Now: A Love Story
    Who among us comes to a J.Lo joint just for the music? She is more than a pop star, an actress, a fragrance mogul — Jennifer Lopez is spectacle. Then, now, and always.
  24. Ransom
    Ransom has some clever and exciting moments, but in scene after scene it teases you with gamesmanship only to pummel you with contrivance.
  25. 13 Tzameti
    French art thriller 13 Tzameti has a literal hair-trigger premise, yet it's so lacking in human dimensions that it creates virtually no suspense.
  26. Extract
    Couldn't Mike Judge, with his acid wit, have come up with a better title for a suburban-schlub comedy than ?Extract?
  27. Abominable
    Abominable’s themes and arc are familiar kids’ movie fare, with only one real plot twist. But its reverent attitude toward nature and wonder is a welcome addition to the cartoon canon.
  28. Role Models
    The fun of Role Models is that it's a high-concept movie executed with speed and finesse and the kind of brusquely tossed-off obscene banter that can get you laughing before you know what hit you.
  29. Giuliani Time
    The trouble with Giuliani Time is that Keating, as a filmmaker, wants to give power to the people but in his every perception he takes it away from them.
  30. The Kite Runner
    In making a movie about the hot mess of Afghan history, a sense of reserve turns out to be a useful tool for peace.
