  1. Time Out
    A well-crafted indictment of the dark side of the modern work ethic.

  2. Away from Her
    Even those who've long noted Polley's intelligence on screen will be amazed by the perception she displays as a filmmaker.
  3. Inside Job
    Ferguson doesn't aim to entertain; he wants answers, and talks to many of the enabling weasels.

    Chicken Run
    Funny, even thrilling.
  5. Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut
    Immensely moving and strikingly original, Kelly's story of a brilliant, disturbed teen (Jake Gyllenhaal) drowning in the cultural morass of the 1980s now feels bloated.
  6. The King's Speech
    Despite being about a royal family at a critical moment in history, The King's Speech doesn't shout about its many strengths. Rather, it urges you to lean in close, where its intelligence and heart come through loud and clear.
  7. Hell or High Water
    The terrific Hell or High Water is like a gritty new retelling of the Frank and Jesse James story — only with getaway cars instead of horses, and assault rifles replacing six-shooters.
  8. Up
    While their latest achievement can't quite one-up "WALL-E," it offers soaring highs that are bound to enchant viewers of any age.
  9. Marooned in Iraq
    It's part grim Beckett-like drama, part joyous picaresque, and all quite mesmerizing.
  10. Back to the Future
    Kids and parents alike are gonna dig this wonderful fantasy.
  11. Toy Story 2
    With its agile, clever script and winning characters, Toy Story 2 is that rare thing -- an excellent children's movie with no upper age limit.
  12. Black Panther
    Grumpy T'Challa may be on the throne, but it’s the women who rule. And Michael B. Jordan adds fire as Killmonger.
  13. The Bridge on the River Kwai
    Brilliant performances are to be credited to Alec Guinness, as the British colonel, who insists on sticking to the rules of the Geneva Conference governing prisoners of war, and Sessue Hayakawa as the stubborn, cruel, proud Japanese officer.
  14. Brooklyn
    Gradually the film turns its very specific story of one immigrant into a moving group portrait.
  15. Nobody Knows
    Excellent, troubling social commentary based on a true story.
  16. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
    The Two Towers moves faster, covers more ground, has more action and -- with the introduction of the marvelous character Gollum -- packs some much-appreciated laughs.
  17. L'Enfant (The Child)
    Powerfully uplifting precisely because it's so horrifying.
  18. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
    It’s undeniably thrilling to watch Gonzalez Iñárritu and Keaton aiming so high. Whenever they’re brave enough to leap into the unknown, Birdman soars.
  19. Shine
    A sublimely uplifting movie.
  20. It Happened One Night
    The direction is excellent. Frank Capra never lets his picture lag for a moment. It is never very exciting, but it moves along snappily and it is full of amusing situations.
  21. The Missing Picture
    This chronicle is impossible not to watch.
  22. Amadeus
    Amadeus is about as close to perfection as movies get. [2002 Director's Cut]
  23. Russian Ark
    A technical and visual tour-de-force.
  24. To Be and to Have
    Exhibiting the same sort of patience as his sensible hero, Philibert has created an extraordinarily humane portrait of a partnership between one adult and his very fortunate charges.
  25. In the Mood for Love
    A love story told from the point of impact, at the heart, and no conventional resolution could be more profound.
  26. Mulholland Dr.
    For film buffs and Lynch fans, this is a glorious high.
  27. Mission: Impossible – Fallout
    It’s not just “Impossible,” it’s irresistible.
  28. Cléo from 5 to 7
    If French film makers would consider the story they have to tell as paramount to the technique of telling it, I'm sure they would interest a wider audience than they do now. [05 Sep 1962, p.37]
    • New York Daily News
  29. Grizzly Man
    Though some see Treadwell as an idealistic martyr who made the ultimate sacrifice for his passion, others vilify him as an arrogant fool who courted his own end.
  30. Goldfinger
    It's phenomenal! A rare case in film history that a series projecting the same character, with the same star, improves as it goes along. The James Bond movies do. The first, "Dr. No," was good; the second, "From Russia With Love," was better; the best and the wildest is Goldfinger, a fun galore thriller that is one of the brightest lights of the holiday offerings on screens of De Mille and Coronet Theatres.
