  1. The Last September
    Saga too arty for own good.
  2. The Girl Next Door
    A fascinating fly-on-the-wall documentary.
  3. The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
    One of the most inventive, funny and ultimately tragic coming-of-age movies in years.

  4. Chronicle
    Chronicle is an energetic hodgepodge that tweaks familiar conventions just enough to seem fresh. Forget the X-Men - these are iHeroes.
  5. Arthur Christmas
    All of the actors' vocal performances are spot-on, including McAvoy's gentle Arthur, Nighy's salty GrandSanta and Ashley Jensen's cute stowaway elf Bryony, a chipper little pixie that would make Rudolph's pal Hermey proud.
  6. Into the Woods
    Loyal fans of the Sondheim original may feel a bit let down themselves. There’s much to love here. But working with original “Woods” writer and Sondheim collaborator James Lapine, Marshall tones down the crucial dark shading in some places and has trouble with pacing in others.
  7. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie
    It's a stinking good time - for the kids, at least.
  8. Predestination
    Predestination may have the trippiest, weirdest take yet on the time-travel concept.
  9. Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone
    There's as much social history of L.A.'s racial divide as there is appreciation for the band's big, genre-crossing sound. It all comes together for a rollicking chronicle of verve and nerve.
  10. Eyes Wide Shut
    Ultimately, Eyes Wide Shut doesn't rank among Kubrick's best work.
  11. The Last Winter
    Among cautionary tales of gloom-and-doom, it may out-gore Gore, but it doesn't entertain.
  12. Le bossu
    It revives an innocently pleasurable genre - shades of Burt Lancaster and Errol Flynn - that combines lusty adventure, humor, the great outdoors and satisfying storytelling without having to concoct it in a special-effects lab.
  13. Sunshine State
    Though his latest, Sunshine State, shows Sayles usual literary care, it's a very slight work compared with such cinematic tomes as "Lone Star," "Matewan" and "Eight Men Out."

  14. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    Only the most hardhearted would fail to be swayed by Messner's surprising strength, and -- dare I say it -- irresistible charm.
  15. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    Not quite as funny as it wants to be. Mostly, it's just silly. But as always, the Coens are entertaining themselves first.and their quirky individuality has served them and their fans well so far.
  16. People Say I'm Crazy
    In this candid, fascinating film, Cadigan has the will - and the family support - to defeat his demons. It's clear that for him, the ending is only the beginning, but it's filled with hope.
  17. Go Tigers!
    The movie clearly portrays how the glory and salvation of being a team hero is ephemeral.
    • New York Daily News
  18. Solitary Man
    Michael Douglas in Solitary Man, has all the tools of the man who plays him at his disposal. At times in this often engaging, occasionally meandering movie, that's enough to score.
  19. Bastards
    An oblique, by-design and frustrating drama, Claire Denis’ film about a man’s mysterious suicide and its repercussions is creepy, but finally too vague.
  20. Talk to Me
    Despite being abandoned in the late going by his director, Cheadle gives one of the year's most fully realized performances, and Henson is a revelation.
  21. The Birth of a Nation
    There is nothing safe about The Birth of a Nation.
  22. Even the Rain (Tambien la Lluvia)
    More serious-minded than expected, with a unique and savvy point of view.
  23. William Eggleston in the Real World
    Refreshingly offbeat documentary.
  24. Steal a Pencil for Me
    If Michele Ohayon's absorbing documentary didn't provide the proof, you'd never believe the story she tells about Holocaust survivors Jack Polak and Ina Soep.
  25. Friday Night
    It is driven by the finely expressed -- if nearly mute -- performance of Lemercier. We learn a lot about this woman and her emotional state from Lemercier's subtle body language. As for Lindon's Jean, well, it's enough that he's there and doesn't require batteries.
  26. Zero Day
    A speculative re-enactment of the 1999 Columbine slaughter, told from the point of view of two suburban high school nihilists as they videotape themselves preparing for the last and "best day" of their lives.
  27. Collateral Damages
    The final image of the snow-covered landfill, having consumed the debris, provides a kind of closure for Sauret. But for the firemen, the nightmare continues.
  28. The Seven Five
    Director Tiller Russell sometimes get sidetracked — a dangerous thing in a story that already has a lot of twists, turns and off-ramps. But it’s a story you have to hear, from the guys who lived it and may never live it down.
  29. The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden
    How anyone could make such an uninvolving movie out of such a fascinating subject remains its own inexplicable mystery.
  30. Patriots Day
    It works so hard to evoke a sense of teary patriotism it leaves behind a grimy feeling.
