    Neil Young Journeys
    Of course, the music is the thing and the sounds here earn Demme's reverence.

    Pride
    Among the actors, potential Oscar nominee Nighy is deeply affecting, but everyone in this rousing movie impresses.
  3. The Muppets
    Segel and Nicholas Stoller, who made "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" together, wrote the screenplay for The Muppets with obvious intent: to return these icons to their former glory.
  4. Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Along the way, the movie documents a movement while deftly skewering a cynical media and ever-gullible public. So whether we're being had or just enlightened, Banksy's definitely found a new medium in which to create his own works of art.
  5. The Descendants
    Payne's observational humor and attention to detail yield something emotionally epic. Everything from beachfront jogs to hospital confessions reveals layers of humanity and absurdity.
  6. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
    Even with all the CGI effects, this darkly emotional movie feels like the anti-"Speed Racer." Sure, it's a big-budget spectacle. But it's also the kind of grandly old-fashioned entertainment we don't get enough of anymore.
  7. Get Him to the Greek
    This is very much Brand's movie, with Hill playing a surprisingly subdued straight man. Still, the strong supporting cast - including Rose Byrne and Elisabeth Moss as the guys' girlfriends - easily holds its own.
  8. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
    The charming, soulful Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is a movie that loves movies — which is great, because you’ll love this one.
  9. Terminator Salvation
    A fast-moving, rock 'em-sock 'em movie that continues the man-vs.-machines series begun 25 years ago.
  10. Ghost Town
    Leoni and Kinnear are charming, and Koepp keeps the mood appropriately light. But really, this would be just another disposable comedy if it weren't for our unassuming star.
  11. Black Swan
    A psychosexual thriller that lures its viewers into a woozy nightmare.
  12. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
    All in all, Spielberg has come up with another rousing piece of entertainment.
  13. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
    The good news is it comes very close, and does it without sacrificing its soul. Despite its sense of been-here-slayed-that, director Francis Lawrence expertly delivers thrills, ideas and spectacle.
  14. Easy A
    You'd be hard-pressed to find a misfit loner as confident as Olive, who bears her considerable tortures with remarkable grace. But Stone is so funny, smart and sweet that we relate to her anyway.
  15. The Town
    Affleck keeps the film as fluid as the "Mystic River," and never forgets that Renner is his ace in the hole. The "Hurt Locker" star charges up every scene he's in with feral power, and is rewarded with one of the most exciting sequences seen in any action movie this decade.
  16. The Artist
    In this film, a single word is worth more than all the expensive effects imaginable.
  17. Whip It
    It's that happiest of surprises: a multiplex movie that genuinely respects its young audience.
  18. Duplicity
    This is a role that the Julia Roberts of 1999 couldn't have played, and that's fine. The one we have here is much better.
  19. Midnight Cowboy
    Whew! It’s shocking - a horror film but extremely well done by producer Jerome Hellman and John Schlesinger, the British director who uncannily captures the feeling for tragedy in this locale, the forced gaiety of some who have sunk to the lower depths of despair and sympathy for the two disillusioned protagonists.
  20. Savages
    Stone relies on his leads to guide us into this hyper-charged inferno, and they fit his juiced-up approach like James Woods and Woody Harrelson did in Stone's equally hopped-up "Salvador" and "Natural Born Killers." He gets us high on what they're selling before it goes south.

    Lambert & Stamp
    Many great docs have been made about The Who (including the ecstatic “The Kids Are All Right”), but Lambert & Stamp gets closest to the band’s fragility and unlikely story. It captures the real-life mania that surrounded a group whose music came to embody it.
  22. Ready Player One
    The movie is crammed with excitement and good humor.
  23. Side by Side
    Film enthusiasts especially will appreciate this wonky but fascinating documentary about the process of making movies.
  24. Momma's Man
    A little miracle, Azazel Jacobs' lovely story of a life lost and found tackles big issues -love, maturity, fulfillment - in deceptively modest fashion.
  25. Nocturnal Animals
    It sounds a little too clever, but it's not. It's just clever enough.
  26. The Damned United
    Ultimately it's Sheen, finding new facets of his character in every scene, who shoots and scores.
  27. Hell and Back Again
    As vital as the best war chronicles to come out in recent years, this is one every American ought to see.
  28. The Company You Keep
    Though consistently engaging, Redford’s latest directorial endeavor does feel like a plea. You can almost hear him coaxing us to learn from the past, even as we rush into the future.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hungry Hearts
    As the couple’s life becomes more and more insular, Costanzio subtly builds the drama into suspense that’s utterly natural and smart.
  30. Everybody's Fine
    Here, the actor (Di Niro) dials it down and wins us over.
