  1. Earth
    Earth, you had me at baby polar bears.
  2. Strike
    The script plays fast and loose with the facts and adds soap-operaish touches, but Thalbach is a feisty delight.
  3. Farewell, Herr Schwarz
    It’s an absorbing documentary that eloquently explores questions about forgiveness.
  4. Zipper: Coney Island's Last Wild Ride
    The Zipper is a carnival ride, a tumbling cage whose screaming customers are spun around like a Ferris wheel.
  5. Superman Returns
    Bryan Singer's super, soulful and very expensive new resurrection of the venerable big-screen franchise, ups the ante with must-see results.
  6. Weathering with You
    Though most foreign films are best seen subtitled, the nonstop overexcitement of these anime performances can be exhausting. I’d have welcomed the dulcet tones of Pace, who voices Mr. Suga.
  7. Young Dr. Freud
    A stunningly intelligent look at how the founder of psychoanalysis and modern psychiatry developed his ideas.
  8. Czech Dream
    The film did well at the local box office and has been shown at some 40 international festivals. Eat your heart out, Michael Moore.
  9. Tony Manero
    After winning raves at last year's New York Film Festival, Pablo Larrain's Tony Manero, from Chile, is receiving a run here.
  10. Good Hair
    About the only question not answered by Good Hair is whether Michelle Obama wears a hair extension (most come from religious ceremonies in India) or straightens her hair.
  11. The Outrun
    It is a phenomenal showcase for Ronan, who dares to be unlikable for the rare time in her career. Her natural charm and whimsy we’re used to from “Lady Bird” and “Little Women” is but a glimmer in Rona’s eye — and that little light is why the viewer roots for this troubled woman as hard as they do.
  12. Wreck-It Ralph
    Visually dazzling, intermittently funny.
  13. ParaNorman
    ParaNorman is probably the year's most visually dazzling movie so far, and the stunning climax centering on an 11-year-old witch (Jodelle Ferland) is too good to spoil.
  14. Let It Rain
    Reflective but only mildly engaging dramedy.
  15. Luce
    Luce is a taut, extremely watchable movie, though the dialogue could loosen up a touch.
  16. The Rocket
    Long on atmosphere and less sentimental about poverty than “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” the film carries a potent charge of authenticity.
  17. Paul Williams Still Alive
    Williams, who was elected president of ASCAP in 2009, speaks frankly and eloquently about his problems dealing with fame, and his recovery. And more important, he earns our thanks by resolutely refusing to let Kessler turn this into a clichéd documentary.
  18. The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz
    This one-sided documentary, told entirely by supporters, paints Swartz as a hero pursued by malign forces.
  19. Only the Brave
    Only the Brave is at its best at two extremes: in the middle of the action, as the firefighters do things like improbably light fires to contain bigger fires; and at home in the midst of banter between Eric and his wife Amanda.
  20. The Tunnel
    Director Roland Suso Richter maintains tension for 2 1/2 hours, even though the resolution is almost surreal.
  21. Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia
    The film, like the man, is never boring.
  22. The Search for General Tso
    You may well emerge from The Search for General Tso with a hankering for the titular spicy dish.
  23. Tell Them Who You Are
    Breezy and informative. It offers a view of the talented, opinionated man that only his son could pull off.
  24. Hellboy
    Surprisingly enjoyable, as adaptations of cult comic books go, thanks to a sense of humor all too rare in the genre, winning performances by Ron Perlman and Selma Blair, and a sweet romance of the kind that made "Spider-Man" a richer experience than its competitors.
  25. Radio Unnameable
    Long before Occupy Wall Street, there was Bob Fass, the legendary overnight host on WBAI whose 50-year career is lovingly saluted in the documentary Radio Unnameable.
  26. Violette
    In Devos’ hard-charging performance, she’s also fascinating, and that’s all a film requires.
  27. Hail, Caesar!
    What really makes Hail, Caesar! sing are the Coens’ painstaking period simulations of scenes from five films,including not only “Hail, Caesar!” but a synchronized swimming routine a la Busby Berkeley and a corny musical Western.
  28. The Painted Bird
    Oh, the movie is brilliant without a doubt, but it’s dotted with such shocking moments, and there isn’t a whiff of pretentiousness to be found. Only guts and incredible visuals.
  29. 4
    It's not always clear exactly what's happening in this dark tale, full of barking dogs and slabs of meat. But you won't be able to take your eyes from the screen; nor will you quickly forget this fiercely original eye-popper.
  30. The Color Purple
    Another reason to embrace “Purple” is that the moving film is graced by a duo of exceptional performers in Barrino and Danielle Brooks as Sofia who, while singing, capture the electricity of being live onstage, and, while acting, take advantage of the raw intimacy of a close-up. Getting that combo right in movie musicals is rarer than you’d think.
