  1. Hush
    Flanagan’s taut direction reinforces his rep as an up-and-comer we will hopefully be hearing much more from.
  2. Other People
    Somehow, almost miraculously, Shannon makes her character become stronger as she gets weaker. It’s a wonderful performance.
  3. Thirteen Days
    A big, square, rousing political thriller docudrama.
  4. Ghosts of the Abyss
    Cameron wants to take the audience ''back to 'Titanic,''' but the journey's magic is hemmed in, paradoxically, by the transcendence of his previous effort; surely he must know that a lot of us never left.
  5. Kung Fu Panda 2
    At times, Kung Fu Panda 2 suggests "Bambi" redone as an episode of Oprah. Yet it's a more-than-worthy sequel.
  6. Robot and Frank
    Robot & Frank is sentimental high-concept fluff that works.
  7. Slither
    There are times (and plenty of them) when Slither slops over from smart, affectionate homage into unmodulated frat goofiness as Gunn cannibalizes so many horror plots with such high spirits.
  8. Vox Lux
    Corbet doesn’t seem as interested in the answers to the provocatively glib questions he raises as he is in creating a cynical riddle cloaked in style. No doubt some will find all of this to be a deep meditation on the pop-industrial complex, but from where I was sitting, it just felt like empty camp.
  9. In Bruges
    Neither star is sloppy, but both are loose and mellow -- a couple of pros who know they're the whole show.

    That's Entertainment, Part II
    The original song-and-dance formula is diluted, however, by a dozen or more comedy scenes (with the Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields, Hepburn and Tracy, Abbott and Costello, and others). But they are so wisely chosen, sharply edited, and outright funny that the overall entertainment level remains high.
  11. Brigsby Bear
    The result is a slight, handcrafted indie that’s sweet, skewed, and feels a bit like a skit stretched out to feature length.

    Secret Agent
    It's pleasant to see a story that highlights the pointless absurdity of war and espionage, although some of the jokes are pretty mean-spirited.
  13. Been Rich All My Life
    Good times and bum times, they've seen it all and they're still here. Lucky us.
  14. Nocturnal Animals
    The movie’s lofty narrative ambitions never quite catch up with its aesthetics, but it’s still a fantastic beast of a film, intoxicating and strange.
  15. Russian Dolls
    Russian Dolls captures how being a sexual cad has become an essential phase in the life of the modern male.
  16. Bolt
    Bolt breaks no great new stylistic ground -- and yet it's a sturdy beaut.
  17. The Well Digger's Daughter
    The Well-Digger's Daughter pushes a number of nostalgia buttons at once, most of them pleasing.
  18. T2 Trainspotting
    The good news is that the film’s four lead actors all slip seamlessly back into their onscreen alter egos as if they’ve been keeping tabs on them all these years.
  19. This Is the End
    It's the wildest screen comedy in a long time, and also the smartest, the most fearlessly inspired, and the snort-out-loud funniest.
  20. The Door in the Floor
    Everything in the movie -- family demons, May-December sex, the lessons of writing -- ties together with pinpoint precision. That's a pleasure, to be sure, and a limitation, too.
  21. Sound of My Voice
    Sound of My Voice doesn't follow through on everything it sets up, yet it has a hushed and revealing psycho-intensity. It also has an oh-wow Twilight Zone ending that truly made me go, ''Oh, wow.''
  22. Steel City
    Steel City could have used more rhythmic drive, but if Jun keeps weaving together characters this compelling, he could be a major film artist in the making.
  23. Mondovino
    The highest praise I can give to Mondovino is that it makes you want to sample every vintage it shows you.
  24. Fellini: I'm a Born Liar
    It's a messy, entertaining documentary rooted in -- though not limited to -- the iconically indulgent years of Fellini's later career.
  25. Stir of Echoes
    Offers tricky fragmentation without mystery or mood; it's a mosaic of fear that grows less and less unsettling as it comes together.
  26. Fahrenheit 9/11
    Scalding and glib, derisive yet impassioned, Fahrenheit 9/11 is an intensely resonant piece of Bush-bashing, because it lets the president do most of the work.
  27. Die Hard 2
    A number of scenes have been staged with satisfying kinetic flair, and Willis once again makes an appealing superhero. Yet without that great big booby-trapped skyscraper to hold the action together, the suspense dissipates.
  28. Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles
    Like Welles' butchered cut of "The Magnificent Ambersons," it's fascinating but leaves you hungry for more.
  29. Halloween
    Long live Michael Myers, so maybe someone can finally kill him — in a big, funny, scary, squishy, super-meta sequel that brings it all back to the iconic 1978 original.
  30. Synecdoche, New York
    I gave up making heads or tails of Synecdoche, New York, but I did get one message: The compulsion to stand outside of one's life and observe it to THIS degree isn't the mechanism of art -- it's the structure of psychosis.
