  1. Hidden Figures
    Charged with streamlining Figures’ knotty real-life histories, director Theodore Melfi (St. Vincent) tends to paint too much in the broad, amiable strokes of a triumph-of-the-week TV movie. But even his earthbound execution can’t dim the sheer magnetic pull of an extraordinary story.
  2. Sylvie's Love
    Love’s most radical act may be the simple fact of its Blackness — that the faces at the center of the screen are ones that for so many decades we’d mostly see only in the margins of a movie like this, or not at all.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The Panic in Needle Park
    Compelling, unflattering performances by its stars rivet this grim romance between a cocky New York grifter (Al Pacino) and the mild-mannered Midwesterner (Kitty Winn) he corrupts.
  4. Gods and Monsters
    Achieves its exquisite tension--deepening beautifully from a "Death in Venice" setup to an imaginative meditation, on art and life, of uncommon sensitivity.
  5. Higher Ground
    Higher Ground breaks crucial, sacred ground in American moviemaking.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Golden Door
    A sluggish procedural on what it was like to make the journey to Ellis Island back in the day.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Suspicion
    A few bravura sequences aside, it’s fairly flat.
  8. Stonewall Uprising
    Stonewall Uprising does an evocative job of coloring in the oppression of gay life before Stonewall, so that when the eruption happens, we feel its necessity in our bones.
  9. The Town
    A rich, dark, pulpy mess of entanglements that fulfills all the requirements of the genre, and is told with an ease and gusto that make the pulp tasty.
  10. Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself
    A remarkable doc about a life well lived.
  11. In Darkness
    The fine Polish director Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa) pays her respects with a daringly murky-looking movie that demands viewers enter the void too and meet Socha and his Jews as real, flawed men and women behaving in flawed ways under suffocating conditions.
  12. Cyrus
    Cyrus cues us to expect it to go over the top, but the film never does. That may be its neatest trick
  13. In the Realms of the Unreal
    A singular and haunting experience.
  14. Flame and Citron
    Director Ole Christian Madsen combines sharp scenes of moral inquiry with a few too many functional, oldfangled espionage twists.
  15. Sully
    The reason why the movie works at all is Hanks.
  16. Go
    The one truly thrilling movie I've seen so far this year.
  17. Into the Abyss
    The film has the same moral design as "Dead Man Walking," but since it never gets inside the darkness of the killers' minds, it's really just a rambling episode of "A Current Affair."
  18. Interstellar
    Interstellar, his (Nolan) sci-fi spectaculorama helixed around a father-daughter love story, is a gamble like no other in his career. It's his longest film, his headiest, his most personal. And, in its square-peg-in-a-round-wormhole stab at being the weepy motion-picture event of the year, it's also his sappiest.

    Bridge to Terabithia
    The movie -- which never decides if it's a fantasy or coming-of-age story -- spends a lot of time away from Terabithia; that also leaches out the wonder. The boy seems more excited that Zooey Deschanel is his hottie music teacher than he is to see tree men in the forest.
  20. The Heart of the Game
    The film is a furious full-court press, its subjects aflame with the kind of passion only youth can furnish.
  21. Daughters of Darkness
    Loaded with atmosphere, bared flesh, and a haunting turn by the Dietrich-esque Delphine Seyrig as an ageless countess who hungers for a pair of newlyweds (and their necks).
  22. The Dish
    It's a lovely, original, Australian take on a climactic moment usually thought of as all American.
  23. The Hurricane
    Washington immerses himself, even more than he did in "Malcolm X," in a stare of unforgiving outrage.
  24. Billy Elliot
    Even as the director, Stephen Daldry, places his star front and center, he doesn't know how to highlight him.
  25. Joy Ride
    Even among all the sex jokes and vulgar one-liners, Joy Ride boasts a real beating heart. It's a raunchy (and occasionally familiar) ride, but it's well worth the trip.
  26. Kung Fu Panda
    Light and goofy, yet the fight scenes, which are the heart of the film, are lickety-split mad fun.
  27. Crazy Rich Asians
    If the storyline is strictly something old and borrowed, though, a peek at the crazy-rich rainbow of Asian experience — even one as razzle-dazzlingly too-much as this one — feels not just new, but way overdue.
  28. The Secret Garden
    The movie is earnest, heartfelt, and, for all its lavishness, rather plodding.
  29. The History Boys
    The History Boys is as much about the meaning and value of reading and learning as it is about the ho-humness of genital fondling by sir with love.
  30. Hercules
    Hercules, like Aladdin, zips Disney’s house animation style past sentimentality and into an age of ironic media-wise overload. That’s not a bad place for it to be.
