  1. Thor: Ragnarok
    Ragnarok is basically a Joke Delivery System — and on that score, it works. The movie is fun.
  2. The Foreigner
    Chan has a bit of Clint Eastwood’s "Unforgiven" aura about him here, with the costs of his violent life visible in the weary lines of his face. I’m not sure anyone has plans to turn this into a franchise, but I certainly want to see more from this Chan-aissance.
  3. Goodbye Christopher Robin
    The film’s main conflict is with its source material, twisting and wringing Milne’s life for everything it’s worth and hoping enough is squeezed out to qualify as a film.
  4. Marshall
    The film shines, however, as a taut courtroom drama.
  5. Happy Death Day
    Happy Death Day is directed with vim, vigor, and heart by Christopher Landon (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse), and boasts a winning central performance from Rothe.
  6. The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)
    It’s smart, relatable, laughter-through-psychic pain entertainment that happens to be elevated by a handful of wonderful performances even if it, at times, feels like a lesser version of "The Royal Tenenbaums."
  7. 78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene
    In 1960 this was a shocking, sexually charged symphony of taboo-smashing terror. And thanks to the artistry of Alfred Hitchcock, it remains one today.

    Breathe
    A tame, vanilla whimper of a period drama begging for a better treatment in more assured hands.
  9. Professor Marston & the Wonder Women
    A tasteful, surprisingly sedate biopic slathered in the traditional signposts of heavy exposition, gold-toned cinematography, and note-perfect period detail.
  10. Dina
    Both are on the autism spectrum, and filmmakers Dan Sickles and Antonio Santini chronicle the pair’s love story in touching, captivating detail.
  11. The Mountain Between Us
    Can’t decide whether it wants to be a chilling survival movie or a sweeping romance. It never fully commits to either genre, and the result is a forgettable adventure that leaves you feeling cold.
  12. The Florida Project
    The story begins to feel more like a series of strung-together anecdotes: an intriguing project, incomplete.
  13. Better Watch Out
    Peckover’s sharp directing keeps things nicely nasty without ever going too far over the top — though it’s possible some gore-averse Scrooges may disagree. If you want to gift yourself a holiday film that decks the halls with blood, this is one to put under the tree.
  14. Una
    Una’s raw, deeply dis­comfiting dance between obsession and exploitation isn’t easy to watch by any metric; they make it hard to look away.
  15. Our Souls at Night
    The real draw is seeing these two legends together again.
  16. Flatliners
    It often feels like Flatliners is trapped between multiple genres without knowing exactly what kind of movie it wants to be, and the result is a confused mess.
  17. Blade Runner 2049
    Even when its emotions risk running as cool as its palette, 2049 reaches for, and finds, something remarkable: the elevation of mainstream moviemaking to high art.
  18. Super Dark Times
    Super Dark Times perfectly nails the minute details of adolescence—a minefield of confusion about right and wrong that leads to all kinds of impulsive bad decisions.
  19. Lucky
    Directed by another great character actor, John Carroll Lynch (Zodiac, American Horror Story), Lucky is an elegiac and ultimately affirming meditation on mortality, regret, and smiling through hardship. You couldn’t ask for a more poignant swan song from a more singular artist.
  20. American Made
    The movie spins like a top for two hours. With his pearly shark’s grin, always-underestimated comic timing, and macho daredevil streak, Cruise rips into the role and summons a side of himself that he rarely lets his guard down enough to reveal.
  21. Gaga: Five Foot Two
    Five Foot Two is a strange work, slippery, out of focus.
  22. Victoria and Abdul
    Uneven but endearing.
  23. Battle of the Sexes
    The symbolic power of what happened there — one small step, one giant leap for womankind — is still the movie’s truest ace.
  24. Stronger
    There’s a raw, tangible humanity to nearly every scene that sets the film gratifyingly apart.
  25. The LEGO Ninjago Movie
    Credit is due to Jackie Chan, who gives his all to make Ninjago work.
  26. Kingsman: The Golden Circle
    If the first Kingsman, at its best, felt like a dry martini of a joke, then this one is more Jack and Mountain Dew — unsubtle, unrefreshing, and unnecessary.
  27. Strong Island
    Strong builds a poignant, methodical portrait of loss.
  28. American Assassin
    As Hurley and Rapp race against the terrorists, the plot is too dumb to be taken seriously and too self-serious to be any fun.
  29. Brad's Status
    Some of Status’s cringe comedy feels forced or simply wasted on soft targets.
  30. First They Killed My Father
    It’s an artful, quietly affecting piece of filmmaking, more than worth the lessons learned.
