  1. Our Song
    That it all seems improvised on the spot (it was not) is testament to the power of a film that trusts its characters, its actors and its ultimate goal.

  2. Pollock
    Harris convincingly creates one "Pollock" after another over the course of the movie.
  3. 51 Birch Street
    The intimate history of Doug Block's parents becomes fodder for a broader look at family secrets in this complex documentary.
  4. Expedition to the End of the World
    There’s an introspective quality here, and the gorgeous vistas tilt toward melancholy rather than educational. All on board are curiously resigned to mankind’s death by environment, and take the long view that another life form will one day take our place.
  5. Mrs. Miniver
    As the story unreels, one can feel the warmth of the writers' and director's hearts for their subject and inspired playing of the cast.
  6. Wild Tales
    The direct translation of this deliciously devilish film’s Spanish title is “Savage Stories.” That’s a more fitting title.
  7. Best of Enemies
    This terrific, full-meal chronicle of the men and their mouths lets us hear from them not only during debates, but also in subsequent interviews, memoirs and articles.
  8. Shanghai Triad
    This movie is not as intricately rewarding as Zhang's others. But because it is so Westernized, it could do even better at the box office. [21 Dec 1995, p.60]

  9. Red Riding Trilogy
    These three films (adapted from David Peace's novels by different directors), each a singularly gripping work, together form a towering and emotionally complex achievement.
  10. 8 Mile
    Basinger gives one of her best performances as a woman too young, poor and overwhelmed to handle motherhood. And the uncommonly self-assured Murphy proves again that she is a cut above other actresses of her tender years.
  11. Once Were Warriors
    Once Were Warriors has more to say than the traditional TV-movie about spousal abuse. But some viewers will have to pay a price: This is a movie that requires strength and fortitude to sit through.
  12. The Ghost Writer
    Despite the packed plot adapted by Polanski and Robert Harris from Harris' novel -- the pacing feels oddly slack.
  13. The Jungle Book
    Has the bare necessities, but not much more.
  14. The Hunting Ground
    The stories are horrifying, but essential to hear. Kirby Dick’s important documentary puts a personal face to the staggering numbers.
  15. While We're Young
    Noah Baumbach’s sensational satirical drama While We’re Young is, finally, a movie for grownups to run out and see.
  16. Shut Up & Sing
    As insightful as it is entertaining.
  17. Dallas Buyers Club
    If Woodroof is the movie’s guts, Rayon is its heart, and Leto (TV’s “My So-Called Life,” “Alexander”) is stunningly perfect, even when the story veers ever so slightly into expected territory.
  18. Notre musique
    Notre Musique is a cry against war and man's inherent needs for tribalism and violence, a position that wouldn't start a good argument in a college cafeteria.
  19. The Cockettes
    The Cockettes epitomized a brief confluence of new possibilities, not so much in theater as in personal style, lending them a certain historical value that greatly exceeds their contribution to theater.

  20. A Single Man
    The striking directorial debut from fashion designer Tom Ford -- is so unusually beautiful it would be easy to dismiss it as superficial.
  21. The Messenger
    Feels more respectful than real.
  22. Private Fears in Public Places
    The film is beautifully shot and edited, but these emotional snapshots won't stay long in the memory.
  23. The Devil and Daniel Johnston
    Feuerzeig's film - everything a good documentary should be - is a story of family, friendship, art and fame, as seen through the prisms of exceptional beauty and deepest pain.
  24. Child's Pose
    The movie creates its own tightening vice grip.
  25. Grandma
    As Elle, Tomlin is Tomlin, which is to say great. Garner’s Sage is whiny, wise and winsome, which is to say an excellent 18-year-old.
  26. Fat Girl
    Breillat has made an important, even essential work about the exploitation of young women's sexuality, but is not she complicit as well?
    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Humanité
    Under that small but growing category of movies that break the mold but that no one but a masochist could sit through is Humanité.
  28. Grindhouse
    Critics are already comparing the two movies and largely agreeing that Tarantino?s story about a psychopathic stuntman who targets women for highway carnage is the best. I disagree.
  29. The Pool
    Smith ("American Movie") sees the poetry in everyday people, and lets his rambling story find its own rhythm.
  30. The War Tapes
    A gripping, sometimes dramatic, sometimes annoying collection of jerky images and subjective impressions.
