  1. Don't Bother to Knock
    Don't Bother to Knock was the first film to truly grant her a juicy dramatic leading role, one that allowed Monroe to tap into her own childhood traumas and abuse.
  2. The Edge
    Tamahori proves that he can shape a studio picture effectively to his specs; his action sense is as personal as his screenwriter’s. As for Hopkins and Baldwin, the well-matched actors grab their parts with disciplined ferocity.

    Calamity Jane
    [Day] is dizzyingly kinetic (and funny) as Calamity Jane‘s tomboy cowgirl.
  4. Nimona
    Nimona is an incredibly fun character who is animated very expressively even in her regular human-ish form, and energetically voiced by Moretz, but by the tropes of Arthurian-style romances, she could only be classified as a "monster." The story admiringly delves into how such monsters are in fact created by a society that refuses to accept their differences.
  5. Anatomy of a Fall
    Films (and novels) are meant to reflect our lives back to us, to hold up a mirror and give us a way to engage with the more thorny issues of our existence via storytelling. Triet is both inviting us to do that with Anatomy of a Fall and warning against putting too much stock in the stories we read and tell ourselves (or is she?).

    The Public Enemy
    In William Wellman’s The Public Enemy, Cagney’s tommy-gun delivery and dancer’s grace make underworld life seductively enthralling.
  7. Maestro
    This is not a movie made for second-screen viewing; anyone glimpsing at their phone for even a moment may miss a key character moment or plot detail that is conveyed visually. It will be best to see in a theater during whatever release window Netflix provides — but even when viewed at home, Maestro deserves the same level of respect from viewers as one of Bernstein's public performances of the music of Mahler.
  8. 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.
  9. Love Lies Bleeding
    It’s a brutal, bloody, and discombobulating ride, but boy, is it a blast.
  10. The Idea of You
    It’s clear those behind The Idea of You hold a genuine affection and care for the story, rather than the ironic eye that a book like this could so easily invite from a lesser team.
  11. The Substance
    While it is so over-the-top as to verge on camp, it is also a chillingly pointed expression of the madness that ensues in pursuit of impossible standards — and the self-loathing and hatred that emerges when women are pitted against each other and themselves.
  12. This Is Me…Now: A Love Story
    Who among us comes to a J.Lo joint just for the music? She is more than a pop star, an actress, a fragrance mogul — Jennifer Lopez is spectacle. Then, now, and always.
  13. Freaky Tales
    It’s a hyperspecific vision of the Bay that won’t connect with everyone, and in truth, Freaky Tales seems destined to be more of a cult favorite than a genre-hopping blockbuster. But even with all the psychic energy and violent revenge fantasies, it’s the performances that help keep this tale grounded.
  14. A Real Pain
    A film that grapples with the legacy of the Holocaust doesn’t exactly make for automatic comedy, but Eisenberg deftly juggles the film’s shifting tones, evoking real laughs in some scenes while maintaining a somber respect in others.
  15. Thelma
    Not every gag lands, but Thelma is the rare spoof that’s both laugh-out-loud funny and disarmingly sweet.
  16. The Room Next Door
    Even with its preoccupation with death, The Room Next Door is not a dour film. In fact, it’s rather optimistic, celebrating the beauties of life and meaningful connection in the face of death with a thoughtful, pensive tone.
  17. Alien: Romulus
    It's got the thrills, it's got the creepy-crawlies, and it's got just enough plot to make you care about the characters. Alien: Romulus is a hell of a night out at the movies.
  18. Trap
    I'd place it more alongside the enjoyable The Visit or Split, and, indeed, there are some story commonalities with both. It is, however, masterfully shot, with great use of wide angles, cropped frames, and a sense of foreboding inside and around the concert venue.
  19. The Apprentice
    The Apprentice encapsulates the American Dream, revealing all the ways in which it can be subverted into a nightmare.

    All That Heaven Allows
    Boiling over with heated acting and schmaltzy scores, Douglas Sirk’s ’50s melodramas tap neatly into our collective trash psyche.
  21. Heretic
    Never has pondering theology been so devilishly entertaining — and amen to that.
  22. Burden of Dreams
    Herzog’s death-defying endeavor (executed with the help of an indigenous Indian tribe, not special effects) is the basis for Burden of Dreams, Les Blank’s lyric chronicle of the film’s four-year evolution.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Sullivan's Travels
    Preston Sturges’ most famous film, Sullivan’s Travels, may not match the sleek perfection of his ”Lady Eve,” but its endlessly fertile and still influential fusion of satire, screwball comedy, drama, and slapstick (most recent homage: the Coen brothers’ ”O Brother, Where Art Thou?”) remains tartly fresh.
  24. The Friend
    It gracefully captures the remarkable, singular relationship that human beings share with their pets, tapping into the poignancy and warmth that comes from such a bond.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Trafic
    There’s a balletic car crash, a faux-dead-dog gag, a joke involving a baby’s bare bum, and…oh, treat yourself and see it.
  26. Jurassic World Rebirth
    Jurassic Park Rebirth is one of the more successful and satisfying entries in the franchise precisely because it, uh, finds a way to keep Loomis’ mantra close, foregrounding the film’s sense of wonder above a mere blatant cash grab.
  27. Companion
    Bathed in a pink-pop glow, its pastiche of romance and horror collide in a viciously mischievous parable of technology and control that speaks to these most anxious times.
  28. Lilo & Stitch
    It’s less a Hawaiian rollercoaster ride and more a winsome, feel-good flick about what it is to find one’s family— and to, in turn, be found.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    How to Get Ahead in Advertising
    Robinson takes on a few too many satirical targets, but star Richard E. Grant gives a great over-the-top performance. It’s hard to dislike a film where a giant zit gets all the best lines.
  30. Materialists
    Materialists doesn’t offer any easy answers despite delivering on its romantic premise.
