  1. Boyhood
    Linklater ambitiously shot his new effort over a period of 12 years with the same cast, showcasing what turns out to be an astonishing performance by newcomer Ellar Coltrane, who grows up from 6 to 18 before our eyes over the course of 164 minutes.
  2. Army of Shadows
    Lino Ventura is grand as a solemn resistance leader. He's backed by a knockout cast that includes Simone Signoret.
  3. Moonlight
    There is so much pain in Moonlight that it’s a little hard to breathe at certain moments. But there are others, of connection and redemption, that positively glow.
  4. Pan's Labyrinth
    Nothing this year comes close to being as utterly unforgettable as Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, an extremely dark and disturbing fairy tale for audiences say, ages 12 and up.
  5. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
    Simultaneously funny and frightening, Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 satirical masterpiece. [25 Apr 2004, p.3]
    • New York Post
  6. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
    It is filmmaking as it should be but usually isn't.
  7. Roma
    This is a film that challenges moviegoers in a way that a Marvel movie or rom-com will not, and it is worth taking the time and concentration — and, if possible, the trip to the theater — to view a true master of the craft at work.
  8. Spirited Away
    A Japanese cross between "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz" -- is such a landmark in animation that labeling it a masterpiece almost seems inadequate.
  9. 12 Years a Slave
    Well-meaning films like “Lincoln’’ and “Lee Daniels’ The Butler’’ merely scratch the surface compared to the deep and painful truths laid bare by 12 Years a Slave. It’s about time, Scarlett O’Hara.
  10. Manchester by the Sea
    Affleck eschews all the actors’ clichés — burning intensity, soulful suffering, haunted brooding. It’s a magnificently interior performance, the sort of acting that doesn’t call attention to itself but draws us in to peer closer.
  11. A Hard Day's Night
    Bursting with energy and originality even after 36 years, A Hard Day's Night is easily the best show in town.
    • New York Post
  12. Ratatouille
    If there is a genius working in Hollywood today, it's animation director Brad Bird, who tops the delightful "The Incredibles" with arguably the finest 'toon in the Pixar canon, Ratatouille.
  13. Gravity
    Compared by some to “2001: A Space Odyssey,’’ Cuarón’s relatively intimate space epic is equally groundbreaking in the spectacular way it depicts space.
  14. One Battle After Another
    With this visionary director — one of Hollywood’s best — it’s one winner after another.
  15. The Social Network
    Quite possibly the first truly great fact-based movie of the 21st century.
  16. Amour
    All great films have imagination; this one also has the sense of experience.
  17. The Hurt Locker
    Stretched both timewise and for plausibility.
  18. Anatomy of a Murder
    A truly superb courtroom drama. [02 Jan 2008, p.35]
    • New York Post
  19. Zero Dark Thirty
    Like the fictional Clarice Starling in "The Silence of the Lambs,'' Maya is a consummate professional who brilliantly performs her job in an often hostile work environment.
  20. A Separation
    In the compelling but slow-moving Iranian film A Separation, a downbeat family drama of no particular distinction gradually turns into a mystery that raises painful moral questions. There may be several guilty parties.
  21. WALL-E
    A charming, hilarious robot love story aimed at the entire family.
  22. Carol
    This is in many ways a companion piece to Haynes’ “Far From Heaven” (2002), which remains one of my favorite films so far this century.
  23. Before Midnight
    Making a movie this warm, funny, and rigorously truthful about lovers trying to remain partners is even harder.
  24. Dunkirk
    Dunkirk satisfies as a brisk, gripping survival story. At only 107 minutes, it’s also astonishingly short in an era when most movies needlessly run on long beyond the two-hour mark.
  25. 45 Years
    At some point in her 50-year career, Rampling became one of the world’s great actresses. Driven by her and Courtenay’s work, and by director Andrew Haigh’s limpid style, the film is devastating.
  26. Yi Yi
    Presents an intelligent, profound and at times heartrending slice of Taiwanese middle-class existence - as seen by characters at different stages of life.
  27. Mr. Turner
    Timothy Spall, a character actor best known as Wormtail in the “Harry Potter’’ series, delivers an Oscar-caliber tour de force as eccentric British landscape painter J.M.W. Turner in the exquisite Mr. Turner.
  28. The Irishman
    Scorsese is at the top of his game here. His film is never boring, and it explores some unexpectedly deep themes for mafiosos.
  29. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    You have never seen a movie like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon because there has never been a movie like it.
    • New York Post
  30. Inside Out
    A hilarious and touching animated masterpiece that takes a gloriously imaginative, sometimes scary leap into the mind of a girl on the cusp of adolescence.
