  1. Bombshell
    What Bombshell has going for it is a jaunty pace. The film by Jay Roach — the “Austin Powers” director who’s had rotten luck with dramas — clips along and is always watchable. But it misguidedly mimics other annoying, ripped-from-the-headlines movies, such as “The Big Short” and “Vice,” that rely on Elvis-impersonator acting, smug narration and quick cuts. Sometimes, you just want to see a tough topic taken seriously.
  2. Belle
    If you were wondering what “12 Years a Slave” might have been like as a two-part episode of “Masterpiece Theatre,” you might want to check out this unsatisfying but not uninteresting oddity. It renders another historical story about race with exquisite taste but not much in the way of passion.
  3. Suspiria
    Director Luca Guadagnino pirouettes far from the easy-living, Italian-countryside romance of last year’s masterpiece “Call Me By Your Name” for an arthouse-meets-Grand Guignol reboot of one of the freakiest horror movies to come out of the 1970s. And he pulls it off in delicious, gut-punching style.
  4. Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers And The Emergence Of A People
    The photographs on view are dazzling; the way they are shown here is somewhat less so.
  5. Avenue Montaigne
    A lightweight French comedy worth watching only for Cecile de France. The gamine actress - decked out in short reddish hair, black tights and a thigh-high mini - is charming as Jessica.
  6. 1408
    Sharp little psychological thriller.
  7. Enigma
    Uses the compelling true story of the triumph of the Enigma code-breakers as background for an invented but believable story of love, betrayal and heroism.
  8. The Low Down
    The whole thing is shot in an irritating, self-conscious way.
  9. Blackboards
    Makhmalbaf finds room for moments of humor and humanity.
  10. Mondays in the Sun
    There's also enough laconic humor, warming camaraderie and hopeful stabs at dignity to keep the story from assuming the glum gunmetal gray of its setting on the coast of northwestern Spain.

    The Sixth Sense
    (Osment) delivers what may be the greatest performance ever by a child actor.
  12. Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)
    It's hard to go wrong with documentary subjects as articulate and intriguing as childhood friends John Flansburgh and John Linnell.
  13. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
    The most gut-bustingly funny movie so far this year.
  14. Unlikely Heroes
    These were people willing to take chances. Would that Trank had taken chances in telling their stories.
  15. Swiss Army Man
    Daniel Radcliffe continues to propel himself further from his Harry Potter past, this time via straight-up flatulence: Swiss Army Man nearly makes up with juvenile glee what it lacks in plot and coherence.
  16. Bettie Page Reveals All
    In one of Hugh Hefner’s least creepy moments ever, he describes how they became friends later in life; with his help, she finally obtained the legal rights to her rampantly used image.
  17. Domain
    The French affection (affectation?) for conversational film reaches absurd proportions in the talkathon Domain.
  18. Fright Night
    Feeble comic one-liners and slow pacing combine for a routine fangfest in this remake of the 1985 film.
  19. Che
    You can't spell cliché without Che. And as I endured this mad dream directed - or perhaps committed - by Steven Soderbergh, I wondered where I'd seen it all before. The booted stomping through the greensward, the jungly target shooting? It's a remake of Woody Allen's "Bananas," right?
  20. Wolke Neun
    Seldom has any movie shown so much geriatric sex and full-frontal nudity (male and female). But, thanks to Dresen, it is all done with taste and sensitivity.
  21. Youth
    Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel do some of the best work of their careers playing longtime friends navigating their twilight years in Paolo Sorrentino’s witty, wise and swooningly beautiful dramatic comedy Youth.
  22. The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq
    The film is hard on the eyes, having been shot in a low-budget style with the ubiquitous digital palette of gray-beige-taupe. Fortunately, it’s also hilarious, full of humor that is understated, wry and dependent on familiarity with interests as wide as Houellebecq’s own.
  23. Look Both Ways
    Works its way to an improbably cheerful ending, but getting there is a slow trip.
  24. Toys in the Attic
    The movie is passionately retro, but Barta shows his methods can create a world every bit as engrossing as the latest CGI.
  25. Mitt
    A good documentary uses judicious editing to make an important addition to your knowledge of a subject, and Mitt does so in a big way.
  26. Nasty Baby
    Wiig and Adebimpe give appealing, naturalistic performances — it’s Silva’s character who grate.
  27. Born to be Blue
    In Born To Be Blue, Ethan Hawke plays the heroin-addicted jazz trumpeter Chet Baker as a kind of guy version of Marilyn Monroe — breathy, fragile, a country naif struggling to stay anchored in this world instead of drifting off into the next.
  28. Come Early Morning
    The kind of small gem that's becoming increasingly rare in American films.
  29. Elvis
    A movie that runs on jet fuel and confetti, Elvis is a tribute to Presley’s innovative spirit, deep passion for fusing blues, country and gospel music and the intense connection he had with his audience
  30. Buddy
    In short: Too Many Cooks plus too many minutes.
