  1. Dune: Part One
    The sheer awesomeness of Villeneuve's execution — there might not be another film this year, or ever, that turns one character asking another for a glass of water into a kind of walloping psychedelic performance art — often obscures the fact that the plot is mostly prologue: a sprawling origin story with no fixed beginning or end.
  2. The Invitation
    Kusama ratchets the story’s tension masterfully, building to a final shot that’s as chilling as it is perfect.
  3. End of the Century
    A documentary that digs deep inside this most revolutionary and tortured of punk quartets, it's hard not to feel that the Ramones, who never had a hit record, were the greatest band in 50 years to be stonewalled out of success.
  4. Joe Gould's Secret
    A delicate yet haunting movie, a meditation on friendship, on the roots of bohemianism, on the sad comedy of madness.
  5. Red Lights
    It evokes the spirit of Hitchcock and Highsmith.
  6. Ocean's Eleven
    It's a scrumptious and dizzy-spirited lark, a what-the-hell-let's-rob-the-casino flick made with so much wit and brains and dazzle and virtuosity that the sheer speed and cleverness of the caper hits you like a shot of pure oxygen.
  7. Wonder Boys
    Sweet, flaky, and more than a little aimless.
  8. Forty Shades of Blue
    Director Ira Sachs moves to the rhythms of his native Memphis, teasing emotional resonance out of geography.
  9. Mysterious Skin
    Mysterious Skin dawdles more than it flows, but it comes alive whenever Araki, hovering between tragedy and voyeurism, reveals how sex can tear lives to pieces.
  10. Rush
    Rush hits a few potholes, but in the end it reveals the psyches of two men who only feel alive when they're cheating death.
  11. The Time That Remains
    At best, his poker-faced vignettes nail the icy comedy of war: A man chats on his cell phone, unworried about a tank targeting him a few feet away. At worst, they're totally opaque and unmoving.
  12. Mean Creek
    Although the talent of a kid with the last name of Culkin may not, at this point, register as such a novelty -- Rory follows brothers Macaulay and Kieran -- there is something precociously mature but natural about the work of this youngest Culkin sibling that stands apart.
  13. Bully
    As long as the MPAA is issuing its cavalier decrees, though, they're the ones acting like bullies.
  14. The Half of It
    If The Half of It lacks the pizzazz and energy of similar Netflix fare, and doesn't have much to say beyond its initial setup, it at least takes a stab at doing something different.
  15. Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan
    Quite grand, quite exotic, David Lean-style epic.
  16. Kundun
    At once spectacular and inert -- a mosaic impersonating a movie; an empty-shell epic.
  17. Winnie the Pooh
    In execution, it is charming...and also a little monotonous.
  18. Armageddon Time
    A nuanced exploration of situational ethics tinged with guilt, it's a small, near-perfect New York story.
  19. Munich
    Munich, Steven Spielberg's spectacularly gripping and unsettling new movie, is a grave and haunted film, yet its power lies in its willingness to be a work of brutal excitement.
  20. Thelma
    Thelma doesn’t play with pig’s blood and jump scares; its dreamlike dread is subtler and stranger, and much harder to shake.
  21. Take My Eyes
    If Take My Eyes explored how a woman could still feel for a man who abused her, it might have gripped us with its difficult truths. But the movie presents Pilar and Antonio's marriage as a stale, neurotic dead end.

    Little Sister
    Timlin and Paulson create a believable rapport as the central siblings, though it’s Sheedy’s chemistry with the camera (and her character) that creates the film’s most dramatically satisfying moments.
  23. Millions
    This sincere, delicate, and intrinsically religious comedy may also become that most unexpected of blessings - Danny Boyle's first family classic.
  24. Disobedience
    If the film itself feels like a little less than the sum of its provocative premise, it’s still moving in its own unshowy way: a quietly profound exploration of identity, sacrifice, and the connection all human beings long for, whether or not their God or their family or their community approves.
  25. Judy Berlin
    Haunting and hopeful.
  26. East Is East
    A movie in which the easy socio-racial paradoxes have been diagrammed with more care than the relationships
  27. The Legend of Drunken Master
    May be the most kick ass demonstration yet, for the majority of American moviegoers, of what the fuss is all about.
  28. Dangerous Liaisons
    Pfeiffer reveals an emotional nakedness that's almost shocking. Never has she exposed so much and done it so simply. Who knew she could be this good?
  29. In the Line of Fire
    With all of that going for it, it's hard to see how In the Line of Fire could be anything less than rock-solid entertainment-and, indeed, it is. Yet it's never more than that.
  30. Love, Gilda
    Love, Gilda is penetrating, painful, and personal.
