  1. Alchemy of the Spirit
    Alchemy of the Spirit is beautifully presented even though it appears as if there’s little happening. The color, light, and lack of detail are multiple layers of thought-provoking cinema. It is an authentic experience where the art of film and visual storytelling are present and effective. To add, Berkeley’s acting is without flaw providing another layer to unpack.
  2. Becoming
    The important part about Becoming is not necessarily the facts you learn about Michelle Obama, but seeing her in action.
  3. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
    Wolfe's movie functions as an ode to Black culture, Black music, Black art; as a scathing treatise on the obstacles Black people have had to overcome (and are still overcoming) to be seen and heard and respected; as a celebration of jazz; as a showcase for two stellar performances and a majestic farewell to one of our greatest young actors.
  4. Blue Jean
    The framing, editing, and overall rhythm of the story brim with intelligence. When coupled with a star-making performance from McEwen, we have what should be a new LGBTQIA+ classic drama.
  5. Alexandra's Project
    Incredible because for a 100 minute movie, Alexandra's Project passes like 30. Incredible also that most of those 100 minutes take place in a single living room. It's the tension and performances that pull you through, never letting your attention stray from what's going down on-screen.

    Renegade Dreamers
    Renegade Dreamers is a documentary that doesn’t ask it’s viewers to do anything beyond ask themselves, “When did you stop caring?”
  7. Into the Mirror
    Into the Mirror is, as the kids say, a “#mood” but in all honesty, that is a great way to describe the film. It’s based on feelings and the subconscious seen through Daniel’s eyes, rather than being objective.
  8. Men
    Garland is a master at ratcheting tension to an almost unbearable degree, and he flexes that muscle hard in Men. The way he gradually presses the acceleration pedal, allowing the narrative to gather momentum until it almost implodes in its final third, is really quite remarkable.
  9. Max Reload and the Nether Blasters
    Max Reload And The Nether Blasters is terrific fun. The acting is great, the action is fun, the dialogue humorous, and the plot original.
  10. Wings
    Cinema has come a long way since the 1920s, so there’s no way to compare a product from that time to a similar one from the modern-day with any equitability. Wings, however, stands the test of time and remains a masterpiece.

    Taxi to the Dark Side
    "Taxi” captures the evil that many men do under the guise of American justice. Just as Bardem's menacing Chigurh approaches his targets in "No Country," American military administrators approached Afghan detainees with shackles and convoluted policy in their pockets.

    Godzilla Minus One
    If you’re a fan of Godzilla, prepare to have your mind blown with Godzilla Minus One. Set your expectations high, and enjoy the ride.
  13. Mallrats
    Sophomoric silliness.
  14. Happy as Lazzaro
    Rohrwacher’s work is brilliant and very much recommended.
  15. Take Me to the River: New Orleans
    Take Me To The River: New Orleans is edited together in a way more organic to music than traditional documentaries, which works wonders.

    The Beach Boys
    The Beach Boys documentary has everything you’d want in a music documentary— a compelling story behind the nostalgia, the main figures being open and honest about the rise and fall, interesting conversations, and great music.

    A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints
    Downey Jr. and LaBeouf as Dito as well as Chazz Palminteri as Monty are outstanding. Channing Tatum (who I've never heard of) is also amazing as the tortured soul Antonio.
  18. Cocaine Cowboys
    Traveling faster than a fat line of blow snorted from mirror to nose, Cocaine Cowboys is all rush and no crash.

    A Very Long Engagement
    The film is near perfect in its attempt to properly mix the irrationality of war in with an interesting love story.
  20. Ghostbox Cowboy
    Ghostbox Cowboy is a wonderful mishmash of mockumentary that lends comparisons to Ulrich Seidl’s work or Harmony Korine’s earlier films such as Julien Donkey Boy and Gummo, with the weirdness of Terry Gilliam and the idiosyncratic brutality of Werner Herzog, while also being a completely unique animal apart from these influences.

    The Damned United
    Elevates a significant moment in the history of this massively passionate spectator sport.
  22. Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power
    After watching the documentary, I hope that as critiques of the male gaze become more and more mainstream, audiences will see through the many cliches and understand the ideology objectifying women in cinema. And as they gaze back, I hope we all realize that they have complex stories to tell.

    Hinckley
    Hinckley provides a fascinating window into understanding men with serious mental illness issues. Allowing the subject to explain his past feels like a genuine conversation. His self-reflection on decisions provides both sympathy and shock for the audience.
  24. Battleground
    Lowen does a masterful job of presenting the anti-choice movement without spin.

    What Is Democracy?
    Taylor’s mission with this film—to answer the unanswerable—is brave. Where it shines most is in how concise, clear and comprehensive each main idea is relayed.
  26. Super Size Me
    Hilarious and often terrifying look at the effects of fast food on the human body.
  27. Napoleon Dynamite
    The cast playing these eccentric characters is magnificent...This is definitely one of the most unique comedies you’ll see all year.
  28. Reservoir Dogs
    The truth is that for all the controversy there really isn’t that much violence in Reservoir Dogs. The reason people were so affected was because the film shows you the true impact of its violence.
  29. eXistenZ
    This is not light-hearted entertainment. Be prepared to think. Uncle Dave will take you someplace new.
  30. There Is No Evil
    Iranian cinema has always been very good at reminding you of your humanity, and Rasoulof’s anthology plumbs those depths perfectly.
