  1. Her
    Jonze's satiric, brave-new-world premise is undeniably clever, but it's also a bit icy emotionally.
  2. Little Women
    If Gerwig’s woke Women-hood verges on anachronism, though, it also feels fully loyal to the spirit of Alcott, a woman always well ahead of her time. And like a sort of balm too, for an era when the novel’s long-held values — courage, kindness, strength in vulnerability — still feel a lot further away than they should.
  3. The African Queen
    Bogart is hilariously crusty as a hard-drinking river rat who journeys downriver on a rickety steamer with a prim missionary (a flawless, lock-jawed Hepburn), trying to stay one step ahead of the Germans.
  4. The Triplets of Belleville
    If ''Finding Nemo'' is an awesome Pixar superpower, The Triplets of Belleville is a charming, idiosyncratic, self-governing duchy with huge tourism potential on the other side of the animated-movie planet.
  5. Stories We Tell
    By the end, the rug gets pulled out from under us, showing that even the reality we think we see may be an illusion.
  6. Nickel Boys
    Nickel Boys is a fragmented film, so much so that it can be difficult to grasp it. But at a certain point, it turns around and grabs you instead, refusing to let go until you're left sitting in a startling and stunned silence.
  7. Ida
    With her brassy, determined aunt, Ida sets off to find answers and discovers life beyond the convent walls in this leisurely but satisfying journey.
  8. Beau Travail
    (Denis's) visual style is hypnotic, rapturous, and she makes barren landscapes look gorgeous, hard men look vulnerable.
  9. Waltz with Bashir
    Waltz With Bashir has transcended the definitions of ''cartoon'' or ''war documentary'' to be classified as its own brilliant invention.
  10. Anora
    In Madison, Baker has found a perfect conduit for his ideals, making Anora a culmination of the themes that have dominated his work for years.
  11. The Favourite
    This couldn’t be further from the corsets and curtsies of your typical Hollywood prestige period piece. It’s more like "All About Eve" directed by a Satyricon-era Fellini all hopped up with enough sex, deviance, hypocrisy, decadence, and spicy profanity to make your average Masterpiece Theatre patron reach into their PBS tote bag for some smelling salts.
  12. Halloween
    Carpenter's brutally efficient exercise in tension and release.
  13. The Sweet Hereafter
    Leaves you shaken and ecstatic at the same time, transported by the vision of a major film artist.
  14. Ghost World
    A buoyant, funny, and disarmingly humane comedy of beautiful losers in revolt.
  15. Bambi
    Naturally, if you’re putting it before youngsters’ innocent eyes for the first time, you’ll want to stick close by in order to play grief counselor when Bambi’s mother ”meets” a hunter in the woods.
  16. The Gatekeepers
    The film, by seasoned cinematographer Dror Moreh, is a feat — of access and of passionate and appropriately unsettling political commentary.
  17. Before Sunset
    The new film, which unfolds in real time over the course of 80 minutes, is a deeper, darker, altogether more memorable experience. It doesn't extend the characters so much as fulfill them.
  18. The Worst Person in the World
    Worst has no shortage of gorgeous-people problems — more than enough, in fact, to fill 12 cinematic "chapters" — but it vibrates with real life, a film so fresh and untethered to rom-com cliché it might actually reshape the idea of what movies like this can be.
  19. Saving Private Ryan
    A movie of staggering virtuosity and raw lyric power, a masterpiece of terror, chaos, blood, and courage.
  20. Licorice Pizza
    Licorice (the title, never once mentioned or explained, remains a happy non sequitur) is a love letter to an era, and more than that a feeling: a tender, funny ramble forged in all the hope and absurdity of adolescence, one wild poly-blend rumpus at a time.
  21. Only Yesterday (1991)
    Only Yesterday may have been released in 1991 and take place in 1982 and 1966, but Taeko’s reflection on girlhood is truly timeless.
  22. The Crying Game
    By the time The Crying Game is over, you'll never look at beauty in quite the same way.
  23. First Cow
    A bittersweet comic absurdity, told in the rhythms of real life.
  24. Mad Max: Fury Road
    When you get past Miller’s orgy of loco action sequences—and they’re so good, you may not need to—the story is pretty thin.
  25. Winter's Bone
    One of the unshowiest and most true-blooded epics of Americana you're ever likely to see.
  26. The Queen
    Helen Mirren's allure lies not in finding what's regal in every woman she plays, but in finding what's womanly in every royal.
  27. All of Us Strangers
    Grief is a funny animal; it tangles itself in our organs and sinews, permanently altering how we love, how we see ourselves, and how we make sense of our identity. That's what Haigh is unraveling here, with a bittersweet emphasis on the power of love and its ability to transcend even death itself.
  28. The Hustler
    Paul Newman won his Best Actor Oscar for its 1986 sequel, The Color of Money, but he executed an equally award-worthy turn in Robert Rossen’s jazzy, boozy pool-hall morality play.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Red Beard
    Remember when ”ER” delivered keen social critiques wrapped in satisfying drama? If you miss that medicine, you need a dose of director Akira Kurosawa’s Red Beard, a three-hour soap opera about a 19th-century Japanese clinic.
  30. Bloody Sunday
    It's a mad cycle of arrogance and despair, and Bloody Sunday etches it onto your nervous system.
