  1. Senna
    His years of success aren't as gripping as Kapadia, and Senna's legend, would have us believe. He had no demons besides fame, and no hurdles besides a recklessness that went with the territory.
  2. The Piano Teacher
    Haneke has made a masterly, disturbing movie.

  3. Monsters, Inc.
    Rarely does an animated character merge as perfectly with the persona of the actor providing his voice as the star of Monsters, Inc. does with John Goodman.

  4. Beyond the Hills
    The deliberate pace Mungiu employs in this incredible work is so engrossing and quietly heartbreaking that its philosophical ending may come as a shock.
  5. The Sessions
    It's strange to call a film with so much nudity and simulated sex "old-fashioned," but The Sessions nicely bridges that gulf.
  6. March of the Penguins
    When it comes to cute, this baby is off the charts.
  7. Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple
    Meticulously researched documentary.
  8. Two Family House
    A gentle, soulful comedy about everyday dreams and what it takes to make them come true.
  9. Spring Forward
    There's no question that the film's primary intent is to showcase its stars, but thanks to their perfectly attuned performances, it feels more real than self-conscious.

  10. Oasis
    Director Lee Chang-Dong has boldly crafted a challenge rarely found on film. But if you choose to meet it, you'll be rewarded with one of the most original, indelible romances in recent memory.
  11. Dinner Rush
    As tension mounts through the evening, Giraldi cleverly sweeps in and out of conversations -- and brings it all together in a climax that is as hard to see coming as it is to resist.

  12. Annihilation
    Your mileage may vary — along with patience. Despite all the talk of the Shimmer, Annihilation sputters.
  13. City of God
    For those who didn't get enough violence from Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York," welcome to City of God.
  14. Pariah
    Oduye, especially, is utterly absorbing. Even in those few moments when the movie follows a slightly more straightforward line than it needs, she is always engagingly, beautifully real.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pride
    Among the actors, potential Oscar nominee Nighy is deeply affecting, but everyone in this rousing movie impresses.
  16. Hotel Rwanda
    In condensing Rusesabagina's story, George has undoubtedly overstated the specific dramatic moments; the movie has more cliff-hangers than the "Indiana Jones" series.
  17. Eureka
    Wrenching performances and painstaking visual and thematic compositions.
  18. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work
    If you're looking for an incisive portrait of self-generated stardom, you won't do better than this.
  19. Chunhyangdyun
    A feast for the eyes. But not, alas, for the ears.
  20. Baran
    Yet another deceptively simple, supremely moving film from Iran.
    • New York Daily News
  21. High Fidelity
    When director Stephen Frears worked with (Jack Black), he must have yelled "Let 'er rip!" instead of "Action!"
  22. The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution
    Not a particularly exceptional movie in form, but as a thorough record it is extraordinary.
  23. Coriolanus
    Here, in his best performance since "Spider," Fiennes plays the snarling, entitled general Caius Martius Coriolanus, whose bloody brow and bald head are stained with what's left of his soldiers.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Grand Hotel
    Each and every performer in the screened Grand Hotel does a remarkable piece of work. To us, Garbo is the supreme of magnificence.
    • New York Daily News
  25. A Most Violent Year
    Chandor (“All is Lost”) has made a movie that quietly but ferociously immerses us in a time and place, with atmosphere done in minimal yet evocative strokes.
  26. I Am Love
    Though it's Swinton who grounds the film, Guadagnino is really telling the story of an entire family and their unquestioned way of life.
  27. Gone Girl
    Fincher is a fearless filmmaker who understands his audience’s intelligence (not to mention their cinematic blood lust). By the end of Gone Girl, we feel like we’ve lived through about four movies, not just one. Good luck letting go of any of them.
  28. Wagner's Dream
    The finished "Ring" cycle, a combination of "myth, science and legend" made to order as Wagner imagined it, was unique to every viewer's eye. The making of it will be spellbinding to everyone.
  29. Kinsey
    The face-to-face interviews laced throughout the movie are fascinating and often laugh-out-loud funny. Ask people to talk dirty and you don't know what they'll say.
  30. Gabrielle
    Chereau keeps us locked inside their suffocatingly unhappy home, making for an intensely theatrical chamber piece.
