  1. Elvis & Nixon
    As a surreal slice of history served up nearly half a century later, it feels oddly satisfying: A reminder not just of simpler times, but of all the other wild untold stories we may never know, just because no camera was there to capture them.
  2. Legally Blonde
    She may be follically blond, but as an actor of distinction who's all of 25, Reese Witherspoon reveals interesting dark roots even as she plays golden girls.
  3. The Final Girls
    As horror comedies go, this one sadly winds up somewhere between Scary Movie 4 and 5.
  4. Cars 3
    Fee steers Cars 3 like the sleek piece of movie machinery it is—a standard ride with a half-full tank, a gorgeous paint job, and not much at all under the hood.
  5. Moonlight Mile
    In ''Ordinary People,'' at least one character -- Mary Tyler Moore's -- had to fall so that the others could survive. In Moonlight Mile, no one gets shut out of the hug cycle.
  6. Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
    Ultimately though, it’s all secondary to Saunders and Lumley’s riotous chemistry together.
  7. Savages
    Savages is Oliver Stone doing what he should have done a long time ago: making a tricky, amoral, down-and-dirty crime thriller that's blessedly free of any social, topical, or political relevance.
  8. Roll Bounce
    Bow Wow plays the skate-dance hero in a way that's never too cool to hide what an avid achiever the kid is, and he and his buddies converse in a fiendishly alert middle-class trash talk that keeps Roll Bounce jumping.

    • 58 Critic Score
    For a Woman
    The acting is largely irreproachable, but the direction is leaden, and the movie just can’t overcome its clunky framing device and nagging air of inauthenticity.
  10. Together
    Even within the stagy confines of the movie's Scenes From a Marriage setup, Horgan and McAvoy manage to tease out the more subtle and enduring bits in their characters' unravelings.
  11. Mission: Impossible
    It's a movie of profoundly convoluted pop pleasures. Between dazzling suspense sequences, it invites the audience to work for a good time.
  12. Independence Day
    It's the first futuristic disaster movie that's as cute as a button. Which, when all the special effects blow over, is what we Americans like in a monster hit.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Sliding Doors
    The story is hackneyed, and the gimmick only doubles the dullardry.
  14. Confidence
    Confidence may be mannered at times, but its shell-game plot is alive with organic trickery.
  15. American Pimp
    Supple and engrossing, a liquid-smooth street-rap testimonial.
  16. The Boys & Girl from County Clare
    Feel-good ethnocomedy.
  17. Dawn of the Dead
    Don't leave before the final frame -- if you're still breathing.
  18. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
    So badly told that it ends up dissecting a corruption that exudes from nowhere but itself.
  19. Limitless
    In Limitless, a potently fanciful and fun thriller about a drug that turns you into a genius, Cooper proves a cock-of-the-walk movie star.
  20. Jurassic World
    Jurassic World is a blockbuster of its moment. It’s not deep. There aren’t new lessons to be learned. And the film’s flesh-and-blood actors are basically glamorized extras. But when it comes to serving up a smorgasbord of bloody dino mayhem, it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do beautifully.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Barney Thomson
    Ultimately, Barney Thomson’s roots are exposed too easily, and the question of “where’d they get that from?” often trumps our curiosity of where the film at hand is going, and that’s a problem.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Day Watch
    The sequel is a minor wackjob head trip.
  23. Junior
    Schwarzenegger’s willingness to flirt with femininity, to become truly radiant, is the most engaging aspect of Junior. Unfortunately, the script doesn’t portray his transformation to starry-eyed pregnant bliss with much comic ingenuity.
  24. Michael Collins
    For whatever reason, Michael Collins is a troublesome movie, a film about a religious war in which religion is almost entirely absent; a flick that gives us our kicks with thrillingly shot terroristic violence while paying lip service to pious antiviolence sentiments.
  25. We Are Wizards
    This charm-filled documentary about passionate Harry Potter fans (and one foe) leaps all over the place.
  26. Naqoyqatsi
    If Microsoft and Nike ever merged into one corporate megalith (MicroNike?) and commissioned Leni Riefenstahl to direct its visionary new Super Bowl commercial, the result might look something like Godfrey Reggio's Naqoyqatsi.
  27. Barbershop 2: Back in Business
    Smart enough to hook us with the best thing it has going: Cedric the Entertainer's gruffly uproarious and lived-in performance as Eddie.
  28. The Shape of Things
    What it isn't is a believable relationship. Yet that may scarcely matter to LaBute, a gifted and corrosive wordsmith who appears intent, by now, on shoving all romantic couplings into the meat grinder of his misanthropic design.
  29. I, Robot
    A routine Will Smith cop-on-the-hunt thriller at heart, I, Robot lacks imaginative excitement.
  30. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
    A lot of Money Never Sleeps - too much - is about Gekko père's desire to reconnect with his very angry daughter.
