    The Brothers Grimsby
    If you like dumb gross-out comedies featuring men fellating each other, double entendres about penises and feces, and an obsession with the anus straight out of elementary school, you’ll love Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest effort. If you don’t, what, pray tell, is wrong with you?!

    Zoolander 2
    Did you like “Zoolander”? Good, then you’ll like Zoolander 2.
  3. Sausage Party
    There are a few points where Rogen and company go way too far, but even in those cases, you may find yourself trying hard not to laugh and failing miserably.
  4. Citizenfour
    So is he a martyred patriot or a misguided traitor? And is it possible he’s both? Poitras comes down firmly on one side, and she makes a strong case. But the movie would have been stronger still if she’d acknowledged the alternative view.
  5. Kong: Skull Island
    The new Kong: Skull Island really gets it right — the exotic adventure, the spectacular special effects, the towering terrors. It’s a big hunk of nostalgic fun, reminding us of the 1933 original even as it monkeys around with the classic story.
  6. Serena
    The atmosphere surrounding them both is enveloping. While the story falls a bit into melodrama, that can’t chop away at the solid drama the stars and director build beautifully.
  7. Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times
    Emphasizing the importance of new media, Stelter is ready to bring the paper back to the future, though this terrific tale of an establishment in transition ultimately plays like "All the President's Men," with the intrigue coming from inside the building.
  8. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
    One of the year's most emotionally affecting movies.
  9. The Queen of Versailles
    This is certainly an apt time to make a crowd-pleasing movie about rich villains, but Greenfield is not an exploiter - she's an artist.
  10. The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story
    A vital one for movie fans.
  11. The Trip
    As smart as it is side-splittingly silly.

    Treasure Island
    Newton's eye-rolling Silver has been much impersonated but never equaled. Disney's first live-action feature was vividly shot in Technicolor by Freddie Young. [10 Nov 2002]

  13. Child's Pose
    The movie creates its own tightening vice grip.
  14. Les Miserables
    Fortunately, this sprawling epic is well-anchored. There cannot be a better big-screen showman than Jackman.

    Sun Don't Shine
    Amy Seimetz's richly textured debut is assured in every choice, from first frame to last.
  16. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
    Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is a seriously ridiculous put-on. And in this summer of overheated special-effects movies, it’s a cool blast of fresh air.
  17. Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai
    Deftly weaving double plotlines, gorgeous camera work, and deep compassion, Miike contrasts ritualistic "honor" with the truly honorable, as poor but noble squires face off against powerful lords cushioned by tradition and pride.
  18. Animal Kingdom
    Most crime stories are content to simply exist, wallowing in their own base violence. But David Michôd's fierce debut takes the genre apart, finding a reason for the madness that propels it.
  19. Iron Man 2
    Iron Man 2 sets gold standard for sequels thanks to Robert Downey Jr.'s Stark performance.
  20. Cold in July
    "Dexter” fans will enjoy watching Michael C. Hall as a bumbling everyman terrified of violence. But there’s plenty more to appreciate within Jim Mickle’s gripping adaptation of Joe R. Lansdale’s pulp novel.
  21. True Son
    Watching politics and the people in it can be disheartening and depressing. Here’s an antidote: This energizing, uplifting, sharp documentary from director Kevin Gordon.
  22. Top Five
    It’s one of the most vibrant, sly romantic comedies this year.
  23. Hellboy II: The Golden Army
    The endlessly inventive del Toro creates visual fantasies unlike any other, and the creatures on display here are truly extraordinary. But amid all the costumes, all the action, and all the special effects, it's the humanity that makes his work so memorable. Yes, the monsters are amazing. But the moment when a heartsick Hellboy discovers Barry Manilow? Priceless.
  24. Fair Game
    Though based on a true story with a well-known outcome, Doug Liman's Fair Game is as suspenseful as any fictional thriller -- and considerably more tragic.
  25. Knuckleball!
    A wild and unexpected film.
  26. Inherent Vice
    They’ve turned Thomas Pynchon’s work into a slapstick noir homage that doesn’t just reward but demands multiple viewings.
  27. Rocky
    Stallone is totally engaging Rocky playing him with a mixture of boyish intensity, lusty sensuality and cheerful innocence. And Shire is equally appealing, slowly blossoming into a vibrant young woman, and Burt Young seethes with anger as her embittered brother.
  28. Moving Midway
    Cheshire refuses to look away, no matter how complicated things get. In fact, it's the tangled, tortured roots that most inspire him, turning this deeply personal film into a potent meditation on our nation's past.
  29. Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles
    Most tales come from the inimitable mouth of the man himself, who could make ordering dinner sound like Shakespeare. He had a life to match. Workman covers all of his subject’s years, even if very few of them truly belonged to Welles.
  30. How to Be Single
    This smart, raunchy comedy is a movie aimed at women. Full of frank, just-us-girls talk about men and wicked gags about drunken sex and intimate "landscaping," it's probably a poor choice for date night. But it's a great pick for girl's night out.
