  1. Sunshine State
    Like a blue plate special at a theme diner, Sunshine State comes with a lot of overdone side dishes thrown on the table at the same time.
  2. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    Why would filmmakers with this much talent work this hard to thumb their noses at everything they put on screen?
  3. People Say I'm Crazy
    People Say I'm Crazy doesn't defuse, or romanticize, the trauma of mental illness. It just humanizes it.
  4. Climax
    Is it possible to be an enfant terrible when you’re 55? Unrepentant French provocateur Gaspar Noé pushes that question (and your buttons) to the breaking point with his latest transgressive import, Climax.
  5. Wendell & Wild
    You'll forgive the movie its cluttered shagginess because its universe is so strange — even an icy puddle is rendered exquisitely.
  6. Solitary Man
    With an outstanding screenplay by Brian Koppelman and disciplined direction by Koppelman and David Levien, a story that could have been generic (or worse, scented with flowery bulls---) turns into a precise, honest, and affecting drama.
  7. Shallow Grave
    Danny Boyle's glittering, deadpan, nihilistic little thriller.
  8. The Bank Job
    One of the pleasures of The Bank Job is that it returns us to the days when robbing a bank was a gritty, hole-in-the-wall affair.

    Little Voice
    The movie adaptation suffers the symptoms of so many stage-to-screen transplants: What seemed thrillingly big and bold in live performance comes across shrunken and hemmed in when "opened up" to fill a feature film.
  10. Talk to Me
    A rowdy, richly offbeat biopic.
  11. The Birth of a Nation
    A big, unabashedly ambitious picture, heavy with the weight of history. But its best moments turn out to be the smaller human ones.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Young Man with a Horn
    (Doris Day) is quietly touching in Young Man With a Horn as a singer pining for Kirk Douglas’ tortured trumpeter.
  13. Steal a Pencil for Me
    Gentle study in human resilience and luck.
  14. Spider-Man: Far from Home
    Far From Home succeeds with an unusual, troubling virtue: The best parts are the most fake.
  15. Tell Me Who I Am
    But the truth, when it does come out, is devastating — to the point that it can feel invasive to watch such a profoundly private moment unfold on camera for our benefit.
  16. Friday Night
    Ziplessness has rarely looked so inviting, nor have a couple of actors seemed so much like real people -- attractive, but hardly hunks of perfection -- who happened to get lucky, and are delighted to throw some of their guiltless good fortune our way.
  17. Ginger & Rosa
    A touching drama from British art-house filmmaker Sally Potter, who broke through to wider audiences with 1992's "Orlando" and has now made her most mainstream movie yet.
  18. The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden
    A stranger-than-fiction gem.
  19. Live Flesh
    Almodovar is positively mature, adapting a novel by Ruth Rendell so deftly that the plot now also describes the invigorating and sometimes disorienting effects of democracy after long years of repression under the Franco regime.
  20. Patriots Day
    Patriots Day benefits from a robust, concentrated timeline and sheer bat-out-of-hell pacing.
  21. Slacker
    The movie never loses its affectionate, shaggy-dog sense of America as a place in which people, by now, have almost too much freedom on their hands.
  22. 25th Hour
    Lee, as he did in ''Malcolm X'' and ''Clockers,'' makes his hero's dread palpable, and though 25th Hour lacks the glittering brilliance of those films, I was held by the toughness and pity of Lee's gaze.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The Hidden
    The Hidden is hands down the best movie ever made about a homicidal alien slug that oozes from human host to human host.
  24. The Fault in Our Stars
    I couldn't help wondering what kind of spiky unpredictability a "Say Anything" - era John Cusack would have brought to the character — with or without the requisite Peter Gabriel song.
  25. 21 Jump Street
    Underneath, 21 Jump Street is a riot of risks that pay off, the biggest of which might be handing Tatum funny business.
  26. Redbelt
    Mamet regulars Ricky Jay and Joe Mantegna blend well with Mamet newbie Tim Allen, a treat as a spoiled-rotten aging Hollywood action star.
  27. Fair Game
    Fair Game gets you riled up all over again at a deeply unpatriotic abuse of power.
  28. World's Greatest Dad
    Williams hasn't been this sympathetic in years.
  29. Circle of Friends
    As Benny, a small- town Irish teenager in the '50s who goes off to university in Dublin, Minnie Driver has a touchingly awkward prettiness. Her jaw may be as square as a picture frame, but her smile lights her up from within.
