  1. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2
    Give Lawrence credit for a seriously emotional performance, at least, and thanks to supporting actors Moore, Sutherland and a sly Woody Harrelson for adding color and comedy.
  2. I Love You Phillip Morris
    I Love You Phillip Morris not only blasts gay stereotypes back decades, it could actually make people wish for a third "Ace Ventura" movie. Both of those are an accomplishment, though neither is a compliment.
  3. Venus and Serena
    Directors Maiken Baird and Michelle Major may have begun this documentary with the intention of profiling two of the most successful siblings in sports. But any reality TV viewer knows that bad behavior is always more compelling than likability. So this movie’s title becomes, perhaps to the filmmakers’ own surprise, a little misleading.
  4. The French Minister
    Director Bertrand Tavernier’s amusing new political satire isn’t toothless, but it could use more bite.
  5. Amazing Grace
    Compelling and highly informative.
  6. A Room for Romeo Brass
    Meadows is very good with the boys' relationship, and achieves his and Fraser's central goal of showing how childhood bonds can be simultaneously fragile and strong.
  7. One Last Kiss
    Both a witty ode to and a poignant lament for the choices we make.
  8. Last Night
    Though the film is dark and the ideas run deep, it's perversely fun to think about.
  9. Saving Mr. Banks
    The slick but moving Saving Mr. Banks transcends its corporate pedigree to become a great Disney movie about making a Disney movie.

    The Warriors
    The Warriors is a comic book morality tale, Westside Story crossed with A Clockwork Orange. The movie is so perversely fascinating in a variety of ways that it’s too bad the imagination demonstrated wasn’t used for something better than what turns out to be one more exploitation film in which the audience is encouraged to cheer the sights and sounds of mayhem.
  11. Made in Dagenham
    A slow, solid movie that, like Rita, sneaks up on you with its intelligence and pluck.
  12. Beauty and the Beast
    In a nice bit of sorcery, Disney’s taken their 1991 animated classic — and their 1993 Broadway hit — and combined them into a groundbreaking delight, anchored by a breakthrough performance by Emma Watson.
  13. Ivory Tower
    This insightful doc from director Andrew Rossi addresses topics that get more polarizing each year: the high cost of college, the factors that dictate who’s educated in this country and the culture that surrounds those decisions.
  14. X-Men: First Class
    It's big, bright, savvy, and so expansive you'll undoubtedly leave feeling you got your money's worth.
  15. Buck and the Preacher
    Poitier relieves the melodrama, thankfully, by livening up the picture with his sense of humor. [29 Apr 1972, p.187]

  16. Oscar and Lucinda
    Armstrong is usually a strong and original director of actors (her 1979 "My Brilliant Career" launched the inimitable Judy Davis). But here, her taste seems to have deserted her. [31Dec1997 Pg.30]

  17. Tekkonkinkreet
    As intriguing and unusual as its title, this anime debut from CGI mastermind Michael Arias bursts with enough ideas for three movies.
  18. Alien: Covenant
    Further proving his mastery of creating tension and thrills, Scott has effectively created a satisfying hybrid of "Alien," "Prometheus" and even James Cameron's "Aliens."
  19. Monsters University
    The movie is not up to the company’s highest standards, but it’s certainly better than most other kid flicks you’ll see this year.
  20. Deadpool
    It's buckshot humor that is funny when it lands; cringe-worthy when it doesn't.
  21. Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders
    Scurlock barely acknowledges the logical reality of any credit card transaction: If you choose to buy something, you will have to pay for it eventually.
  22. The Matador
    It is no small compliment to Pierce Brosnan to say that his performance in writer-director Richard Shephard's goofy black comedy The Matador could only be rivaled by Christopher Walken.
  23. Pola X
    Frenzied, gothic nonsense.
  24. The Town Is Quiet
    Intermittently compelling drama.
    • New York Daily News
  25. Dick
    Dunst and Williams...turn ditsiness into a frenetic comic duet.
  26. Panic Room
    May actually appeal more to women than men because of the steely heroine, the pitting of love of family against love of filthy lucre -- and the mom-fights-back plot.
    • New York Daily News
  27. Bad News Bears
    The strong script (with updated flourishes by "Bad Santa" writers Glenn Ficarra and John Requa) and some of the vibrant child characters pull it through, with the comically reptilian Thornton egging them on with one inappropriate shocker after another.
  28. Timecode
    Is the story being told worth a movie on its own merits? No way. Time Code exists as an esthetic event -- either a trick or a treat, depending on your expectations.
  29. Through the Fire
    Superb, ultimately exhilarating account of Coney Island basketball phenom Sebastian Telfair's senior year at Lincoln High.
  30. Wild Grass
    Likely to draw a range of responses. Many will be transported by its gorgeous construction and breathless emotion. Others will find it patently ridiculous.
