  1. Beasts of No Nation
    Cary Fukunaga’s stark, beautifully shot drama was likely never meant to be a blockbuster; its brutal account of a child soldier in an unnamed African country is far too discomfiting for wider audiences. It absolutely does belong on a big screen, though, and more important, it just deserves to be seen.
  2. Iron Monkey
    Gravity-defying kung fu choreography.
  3. An Angel at My Table
    Told in Campion’s fancifully fractured style, An Angel at My Table is very accomplished, but it’s also an epic act of perversity: a 2-hour-and-38-minute movie about a wallflower.
  4. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
    Two of the chapters stand with some of the best work the merry-prankster filmmakers have ever done, while the rest are varying degrees of… fine.
  5. Godzilla
    Godzilla is still the most awesome of tacky movie monsters.
  6. The Visitor
    This audaciously issues-loaded indie drama works, improbably and entirely, on account of the marvelous, often familiar-looking, rarely starring character actor Richard Jenkins and his perfect performance as a stodgy, widowed economics professor.
  7. Green Room
    Part of being in a punk band involves having to play some pretty hostile venues. But the one in writer-director Jeremy Saulnier’s new white-knuckle thriller, Green Room, makes the typical mosh-pit dive look like a kindergarten run by nuns.
  8. Iron Man
    Even at his coolest, Downey's Iron Man remains a ghostly, neurotic crusader -- one whose life, in the Marvel tradition, has become a grand spectacle of overcompensation.
  9. Silent Light
    The stab at sublimity-by-proxy doesn't take.
  10. Control Room
    Anxiety-provoking documentary.
  11. Only Lovers Left Alive
    It's always a thrill to see what an artist as singular as Jarmusch will do next. I just wish that his foray into the world of the undead had a little more to sink its beautiful fangs into.
  12. So Much So Fast
    So Much So Fast (spanning five years) elegantly presents both a critique and a celebration of American optimism.
  13. The People vs. Larry Flynt
    The film catches us by surprise in its moving portrayal of the love between Larry and Althea, played by Courtney Love in a performance that glides from kinky abandon to stark tragedy.
  14. Selma
    DuVernay has done a great service with Selma. Not only has she made one of the most powerful films of the year, she's given us a necessary reminder of what King did for this country...and how much is left to be done.
  15. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
    Furiosa can’t possibly be as mind-blowing as its predecessor, but it does allow us to spend a little more time in this world and Miller’s mind. No other working action filmmaker sees the world the way he does.

    Pat and Mike
    Pat and Mike is notable for featuring such actual female sports stars as Babe Didrickson Zaharias and Betty Hicks, and for displaying Hepburn’s own athletic prowess.
  17. For All Mankind
    For All Mankind certainly succeeds at evoking the ironically serene aesthetics of space travel. What it never quite captures is the accompanying human drama. In all likelihood, the film will be shown in classrooms for years to come, but it’s just possible kids will watch it and wonder what all the fuss was about.

    Thieves
    The cumulative effect in Thieves is quite haunting.
  19. The Assistant
    Instead of melodrama, the movie finds its traction in parsing out micro-aggressions and mood: a sort of devastating slow-drip portrait of the power structures that allowed a man like Weinstein to happen — and keep more like him in place, untouched by any justice a hashtag can reach.
  20. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
    A sequel that easily tops its 2011 predecessor.
  21. IMAX: Hubble 3D
    Awesome documentary.
  22. Trolösa
    A domestic tragedy of lacerating vision.
  23. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    The dramatic power, though, comes entirely from the eloquence of old people, shot in medium close-up, barely moving as they remember things.
  24. Blind Spot. Hitler's Secretary
    Her memories lack the quality of revelation -- that is, up until the remarkable final section, in which she describes the last weeks in the bunker with Hitler and Eva Braun.
  25. Affliction
    Affliction -- a beautiful bummer, a magnificent feel-bad movie -- is American filmmaking of a most rewarding order.
  26. Praise
    Heavier on mood than incident, but its vision of a doomed erotic power war has a lurching authenticity.
  27. Hustlers
    Beneath all the chinchilla and body glitter, there’s a smart, beating heart.
  28. Life of Pi
    Lee's bigger theme isn't God or survival, but the awesome adventure of making the imaginary visible, the adventure of making movies.
  29. Let Me In
    The surprise of Let Me In is that director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) hasn't just remade the Swedish cult vampire film "Let the Right One In" into a more fluid and visceral movie. He's made it more dangerous.
  30. Fences
    It’s as good as screen acting gets.
