    Cha Cha Real Smooth
    Cha Cha Real Smooth is a series of reflections on life.
  2. Spider-Man
    Just about the truest and most satisfying screen adaptation most anyone could have ever hoped for.

    Frontrunners
    If FrontRunners doesn't teach you something about politics, at least it will entertain you.
  4. Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind
    He’s not just one of Canada’s greatest songwriters, but one of the world’s. If You Could Read My Mind reminds us why.

    A Prairie Home Companion
    The songs in the film are a blast and John C. Reilly and Woody Harrelson share one of the funniest singing moments onscreen ever.
  6. Assassination Nation
    Although skirting the inexplicable and the absurd, Assassination Nation is a pulpy and immensely entertaining roller coaster, hallmarked by its relentless sociocritical bite and refined cinematic craft.
  7. Miranda's Victim
    Miranda’s Victim is a strong film to watch to put into perspective what victims of a sexual attack go through in a non-varnished way.
  8. The Fabelmans
    The Fabelmans will take your expectations of the Spielberg brand and tie them to a rocket. It is engaging and compelling. I am still pondering it days later. If you love movies, you owe it to yourself to catch this on that same big screen that Sammy loves so much.

    The Iron Claw
    The Iron Claw succeeds because of the human story being told.
  10. France
    Most of us are aware of the “production” inherent in television news. Dumont presents to us the contradiction and spurs us on, in Brechtian fashion, to try to resolve it.
  11. Ju Dou
    The film uses voyeurism, knowing exposure turns desire into a visual battleground. To look is to risk punishment; to be seen is to invite destruction.
  12. Abigail
    Abigail is a brilliant film showcasing the problem of bullying. The actors add to the weight of the story.
  13. Stop-Zemlia
    With the keen eye of a seasoned documentarian, the filmmaker captures all the depression, anxiety, boredom, love, loathing, and insecurity of seemingly apathetic teens, her gaze never mocking or judging.

    Big Fish
    A tale that's so enriching, so heartwarming, so funny, so touching and so breathtaking, you'll wonder why the king of wackiness didn't branch out sooner.
  15. Nightmare Cinema
    While there are flaws in some of the segments, it is overall a fantastic production that manages to be creepy as hell. For fans of anthologies, these directors, and horror in general, this is a great ride.
  16. The Matrix
    I'll just say to anyone lamenting the state of American cinema since the 1970s, if you're curious where the next generation of auteurs is coming from, look in the art houses and look in The Matrix.
  17. The Substance
    The Substance is flawed but only because it is so ambitious. Fargaet takes the entertainment industry down a peg while still being very entertaining.

    Faster
    The photography alone would make this a worthwhile effort, but the drama that unfolds over the two years on tour is equally involving and framed by the interviews with former champions.
  19. 32 Sounds
    32 Sounds serves as a glorious pastiche of interviews with sound makers, found footage concerning sound, and interactive experiments for audience members to participate in.
  20. Slay the Dragon
    Ultimately, Slay the Dragon emphatically proves that no matter how rigged the system is and how high the opposition is stacked against you, it is possible to make changes if you’re passionate and articulate enough to convince your neighbors that something has to be done.
  21. Karen Carpenter: Starving for Perfection
    It flows from one interview to the next seamlessly, whether it’s a celebrity, writer, or friend. The segments never overpower each other. Instead, Martin adds layers and layers of understanding to Karen Carpenter, a woman who left way too soon.
  22. Cold Wallet
    With a razor-sharp and timely screenplay by John Hibey, combined with stunning photography by Oliver Millar, this movie is professional as hell with a dynamite ending which combines a clever pay-off involving a household appliance and a next-level twist.

    When Lambs Become Lions
    What stands out about When Lambs Become Lions is its remarkable intimacy.
  24. Cryptozoo
    When you turn on Cryptozoo, you’re in for something that’s unlike anything else you’ve seen before. It is the most interesting and singular animated movie I’ve seen in years.

    Bottoms
    Bottoms falls right in my wheelhouse of comedy. Be offensive and don’t care about offending anyone. Bottoms goes after everyone without apology. It’s what comedy used to be; we’ve strayed so far off the path in the last ten years. There’s no place to play it safe in comedy. We need to return to this form of comedy oh so badly.
  26. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
    This movie doesn’t cop out. It doesn’t go for fake, feel-good warm fuzzies, and it’s not for the faint of heart. Terminator 3 has guts. It has a LOT of guts. And it’s a rare thing for any movie – whether it’s a summer blockbuster or an indie arthouse flick – to have guts.
  27. Pianoforte
    Piątek’s documentary is, at times, a gauntlet of will and endurance. At other times it is a gentle rumination on coming-of-age. No matter what, the film is always incisive, and its character’s journey will linger long after the credits disappear. However, its most significant revelation is that all great things, adored as they are, come with much difficulty, both soft and loud.

    Mogul Mowgli
    Mogul Mowgli elegantly deals with essential issues while remaining entertaining.
  29. The Swearing Jar
    Considering everything that MacKay and Hewlett attempt and successfully pull off, the minor imperfections of The Swearing Jar are particularly easy to overlook.
  30. Sound of Metal
    Here’s a film so quietly visceral it can sear through metal, “quietly” being the keyword. Don’t come in expecting a no-holds-barred assault on the senses. Nor is this a metal music extravaganza. The bulk of the film is silent, deliberate. We are thrust inside Ruben’s mind to hear what he hears, a pulsating, muted nothing, which is then jarringly contrasted with everyday sounds when we’re yanked back out of his head. The sound mixing and editing are nothing short of phenomenal in Sound of Metal.
