  1. The Witness
    The powerful thrust of the film comes from its critique of the media.
  2. 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.
  3. Conclave
    Conclave is packed with unexpected twists and its final reveal is one viewers will never see coming, an increasingly rare occurrence in modern movie-making and the mark of an impeccably crafted thriller.
  4. Mother
    Another must-see marvel of horror, comedy, and impeccable filmmaking by the Korean director Bong Joon-ho.
  5. Free Willy
    It's an irony too significant to ignore that the movie, which proselytizes against penning up whales in order to make them do cute tricks for humans, spends much of its time making Willy do cute tricks for humans.
  6. Keep the Lights On
    Lindhardt, sweet and childish and achingly vulnerable, gives a stunning performance.
  7. Another Round
    Mikkelsen has become perhaps Denmark’s most familiar face Stateside over the past decade. But he still feels most in his skin in roles like these, and in Round’s final ecstatic scene, the actor does what only true stars seem able to: Take the silly or messy or improbable, and make it fly.
  8. Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten
    Captures the Joe Strummer who, in the late 1970s, just about firebombed the rock establishment with his fury.
  9. Shiva Baby
    Enter Shiva at your own risk then: a hell of Danielle's own making maybe, but still a witty, jittery trip.
  10. Searching for Sugar Man
    The yarn is too irresistible: We're fed plenty of sugar in this authorized fairy tale, but are left hungry for beef.
  11. Sing Street
    It’s like a lost John Hughes movie with Irish brogues and cars that just happen to drive on the other side of the road. It’s also, sadly, exactly the kind of sweet little film that too often gets buried in a box office ruled by broader comedies and bloated superhero epics
  12. Keane
    The movie draws us into complicity with someone who may be on the verge of insanity, but only because he's living with the unbearable.

    Yellow Submarine
    Sure, some of the puns and in-jokes sound a little dated, but any movie that strings together lines from Shakespeare merely as a throwaway comic riff is, in my book, a film for the ages.
  14. Va Savoir (Who Knows?)
    It's all very French, very intricate, and -- this is Rivette's magic -- seemingly as light as air.
  15. Manufactured Landscapes
    Jennifer Baichwal's gorgeous documentary Manufactured Landscapes amplifies the powerful work of Edward Burtynsky, a Canadian artist who specializes in large-scale photographs of terrain transformed by civilization into rivers and tides of industrial ugliness.
  16. Zodiac
    Zodiac never veers from its stoically gripping, police-blotter tone, yet it begins to take on the quality of a dream.
  17. Priscilla
    Priscilla is incisive in its portrayal of its central relationship, but it needs a little less conversation, a little more action when it comes to its heroine's path to self-determination.
  18. Run Lola Run
    An existential chain reaction, yet as remarkable as his cinematic gamesmanship is the way that he traces the anatomy of feeling in Lola.
  19. Black Swan
    Lurid and voluptuous pulp fun, with a sensationalistic fairy-tale allure. You can't take it too seriously, but you can't tear your eyes away from it, either.
  20. Black Bear
    It’s brainy, sure, but the emotional experience is what’s most vivid. The plot beats may confound you, but the feelings behind them are crystal-clear.
    • 78 Metascore

    Hilary and Jackie
    Neither the stars' harmonious interplay nor director Anand Tucker's insistent urbanity of camera work can disguise that the cello drama is melodrama.
  22. i'm thinking of ending things
    Buckley and Plemons are left to carry that water for much of I'm Thinking's 134-minute runtime, and they're both fantastically game, infusing the movie's heady concepts with a naturalism that borders on heroic.
    • 78 Metascore

    Lady and the Tramp
    The first animated feature filmed in CinemaScope.
  24. Indignation
    The dean was more of a cartoon in Roth’s book, but Letts lends him a slippery wit that, much like the movie, is surprisingly potent.
  25. The Devil's Backbone
    Del Toro builds excitement, dread, and melodrama in equal layers.
  26. Speak No Evil
    Pay no attention to the shades of late-night cable in the title; Speak No Evil is a lamentably generic name for a movie as stark and unsettling as Christian Tafdrup's queasy, inexorable thriller.
  27. A Brief History of Time
    Directed by the ingenious documentarian Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line), A Brief History of Time held out the promise of being an audacious, brain-bending experience. Instead, it's plodding and disappointingly conventional.
  28. Enough Said
    It shows us how rare love is — and how we need to grab it and not let it go.
  29. A Different Man
    The final result is a messy but memorable effort, with Stan, Pearson, and Reinsve giving performances that are anything but skin-deep.
  30. Sr.
    There's something lovely and quietly profound about where the film finds itself in the end: a generational love story that transcends old wounds and misadventures, and even, in its tender final moments, death itself.
