  1. Not One Less
    It's an uplifting movie about the rewards of perseverance and community.
  2. Space Cowboys
    The joy of Space Cowboys is in spending quality time with some favorite old actors who obviously enjoy working together.
  3. L.I.E.
    Dano is a real find in this daunting role about a teenager's identity crisis. The subject of the movie is dicey but ultimately deeply rewarding.
  4. The Corporation
    An informative, amusing and unnerving overview of the history and consequences of corporations.
  5. Spider-Man: Homecoming
    No, this web-slinging crime fighter isn’t quite of world-saving, world-weary Avenger caliber yet. But that’s OK. In fact it’s better, because he’s something we’ve really been missing for a long time. Our old friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man.
  6. The Grandmaster
    Wong’s visual grandeur is, as ever, all-encompassing.
  7. The Scandal
    Through a subplot dealing with Catholic missionaries, an underlying theme of Western encroachment on ancient Korean culture permeates this lushly filmed tale.
  8. Gran Torino
    Eastwood's performance is the movie's centerpiece, and as you might expect, it's just tough enough to hold everything together.
  9. Cars
    Whether the movie will make you believe a shocking-orange stock car has a future with a lavender Carrera, it's more fun to follow than a televised freeway chase.
  10. Erin Brockovich
    Roberts carries the film in the best sense, by taking us on a human journey of genuine discovery and growth.
  11. Zombieland
    The action-comedy Zombieland works because it's played with an emphasis on the living, not the undead.
  12. Alias Betty
    Of the several threads interwoven here, only one is riveting, thanks to the performance of Sandrine Kiberlain as Betty.
  13. Red Satin
    Despite some contrived plotting, Amari and Abbass have so much empathy for Lilia's shy self-discovery, it's a pleasure to watch her gradually give in to her newfound joy.

    Antz
    A bug-eyed marvel. [2 October 1998, p. 56]
    • New York Daily News
  15. The Lookout
    Though The Lookout is eventually a genre film, with a tense, bang-up ending, it is also a thoughtful study of a young man trying to make sense of a world that he is having to learn all over again.
  16. The Hangover
    Amusing as it is, it never feels real.
  17. The Girl Cut in Two
    Velvety storytelling still feels more thawed-out than heated.
  18. Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God
    Fearless nonfiction filmmaker Alex Gibney ("Taxi to the Dark Side," "Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer") details a history of horrific abuse by Catholic clergy in this tough-to-watch documentary.
  19. Battle of the Sexes
    A film based on a true story should have three things — strong characters, fierce conflict and a fresh angle. Battle of the Sexes serves up all of them.
  20. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
    The only thing that's missing, in fact, is a soul. On the other hand, there's a good chance you'll get so caught up in what they're doing, you won't even notice how stiff and inhuman the actors appear.
  21. 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.
  22. The Widow of Saint-Pierre
    It doesn't get much more romantic than this.
  23. The Company
    Knowing that the director is Robert Altman gives you a good idea of what to expect: a demimonde of locker-room chatter, catty sniping, backstage politics, high art and low self-esteem. Altman constructs the movie with the same cross-currents of his other ensemble movies.
  24. Ray
    Every once in a while, a performance pops out of a Hollywood movie that is so brilliant and unique to the matching of actor to role that it's impossible to imagine anyone else achieving it.
  25. Layer Cake
    Laced with flashbacks and stylistic tics, but it never loses its forward momentum, and to the last shot, it avoids predictability.

    Cavalcade
    A gloriously, heart-rendingly beautiful, stirring picture of a generation in British family life.
  27. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
    Designed as a giant put-on, "Kiss Kiss" is so inside Hollywood, so anxious to bite the hand that fed Black, that it plays like an elaborate prank. Some of it is a lot of fun; most of it is a lot of nonsense.
  28. Bowfinger
    One of the reasons the move is so funny is that it is only a few degrees away from real life.
  29. The New World
    In the end, it's a sweeping, important film that overturns everything you learned in school about the birth of this nation.
  30. The 40 Year Old Virgin
    Works on every level. The humor and language are as crude as an R rating allows, but Carell and Apatow's script is so hip, funny and - yes - innocent that it's never offensive.
