  1. Space Jam
    Although "Jam" is clearly a marketing tool with not much to say beyond "be the best that you can be," it strives to preserve the humor that made Looney Tunes so popular among adults.
  2. River of Grass
    Highly original and filmed with perfect assurance, River of Grass is one of the finest independent films of recent years.
  3. Brooklyn's Finest
    Hawke - continuing an evolution toward stronger, more intense acting than anyone might've predicted from him 20 years ago - drives the movie. He makes Sal a jangled, edgy presence, his conscience torn several ways.
  4. Inferno
    It's fair to say that Inferno won't be for everyone, but those who have stuck through Howard and Hanks' previous Dan Brown adaptations should find enough thrills to keep them interested in solving the mystery.
  5. The Great Buck Howard
    Hanks is extremely understated, but his passivity works: as the son of a superstar, he may have realized that Troy’s role is simply to observe and reflect his boss’s glory.
  6. All the Money in the World
    Scott and Plummer may deserve a standing ovation for taking a powerful stand amid the #metoo movement. If only the rest of All the Money the World was as powerful.
  7. The Expendables
    The three icons ham it up, do some verbal towel-snapping and have fun, which also describes most of this self-conscious adventure movie.
  8. Dinner for Schmucks
    While the climactic dinner is a bit too much like a circus audition, Roach -- who helmed the "Austin Powers" movies as well as "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers" -- knows how to enjoy each sideshow.
  9. It Comes at Night
    You're also likely to be left wondering to what the "It" in the title actually refers.
  10. Bart Got a Room
    Accept the challenge. What's good enough for Bart is good enough for you.
  11. Girls Trip
    At its best, Girls Trip takes you someplace as entertaining as it is familiar.
  12. Denial
    The action inside the courtroom is compelling. This is a place where people duel with words, not swords, but the wounds can be just as deep and permanent.
  13. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
    With all the action movies that have come before, it's tough to make car chases and fist fights seem original and exciting, but fortunately, there's enough of a story to keep things interesting even when you might feel a sense of déjà vu.

    Paterson
    Paterson is poetic.
  15. T2 Trainspotting
    Sequels are tricky things, and decades-late followups are the trickiest. T2 Trainspotting almost pulls it off, too, bringing back the original’s hallucinatory style, jolting musical choices and charismatic cast.
  16. Greenberg
    The movie may wear its shagginess on its sleeve, but Stiller knows exactly what he’s doing.
  17. The Lobster
    The Lobster is a love story for the unloved. Dark-hearted and brutally sour - and imaginative, and sometimes very funny - it's set in an alternative world where relationships are mandatory.
  18. It
    Most of the scares are well earned, as Muschietti mines horror tropes effectively, but there’s also a stretch where the film really turns into a circus.
  19. Bandslam
    Best of all is newcomer Connell, the kind of charismatic kid who would have been cast in "Freaks and Geeks" ten years ago.
  20. Julie & Julia
    Streep is the most important ingredient in this recipe.
  21. Bruno
    Packed with filthy jokes, insane sight gags, and body parts used in decidedly uncommon ways, Brüno is hands-down the dirtiest R-rated movie you'll see this year.
  22. Me Before You
    The film belongs to Clarke. Her warm and winning star turn lifts this checklist chick flick.
  23. How to Train Your Dragon
    Makes the most of its format, soaring when its young hero rides on his winged reptilian pal, and full of heart and heroism even when its action is grounded.
  24. The Hateful Eight
    Weird, wild and way-too-long.
  25. Where to Invade Next
    This benign big-screen button-pusher is about do-gooding, not destruction. It’s Moore at his likable best — and, consequently, most low-impact.
  26. Barbershop: The Next Cut
    At times, the latest Barbershop might get too serious for some, but as far as the comedy goes, it remains a cut above the rest.
  27. Free State of Jones
    The film gets predictable and loses its firm grip a third of the way in. Too bad, since the film directed and co-written by Gary Ross (“The Hunger Games,” “Seabiscuit”) gets off to a bang-up beginning.
  28. Tallulah
    Tallulah is a sensitive and stirring look at motherhood.
  29. In the Fade
    Diane Kruger’s raw, real-as-it-gets performance as a grieving woman bent on vengeance in the German thriller In the Fade grabs from the get-go and never lets loose its grip.
  30. Café Society
    The rom-dram is wistful and wisecracking, boasts a polished ensemble and is such a period looker you wish you could time-travel to the Jazz Era.
