  1. The Huntsman: Winter's War
    This incoherent screenplay seems to have been written by a roomful of the gorilla-like trolls who show up in the movie at one point.
  2. An Eye for Beauty
    An Eye for Beauty star Éric Bruneau proves to be a haircut in search of a man, which makes him ideal for this vapid adultery drama that delivers the character depth of your average spread in Architectural Digest.
  3. The Jungle Book
    Probably no studio mulls its “brands” as obsessively as Disney does, and The Jungle Book is very much a careful, calculated brand extension, not a reinvention. But that’s just fine: What better lesson to teach kids than respect for what came before you?
  4. Sing Street
    Carney’s film (unlike his disappointing previous effort “Begin Again”) is mad, irrepressible youth incarnate, by turns as exuberant as “The Commitments” and (nearly) as heartfelt as “Once.”
  5. The Measure of a Man
    French director Stéphane Brizé films in lingering takes, with Lindon in almost every shot, and the actor is wonderful, able to convey Thierry’s conflict even when his back is to the camera.
  6. The Adderall Diaries
    A well worn trope that’s tough to elevate beyond eye-roll level.
  7. Criminal
    Turn off your frontal lobe, and you just might enjoy it.
  8. Green Room
    Patrick Stewart has a blast playing against type as a soft-spoken white supremacist holding a punk rock band as his temporary prisoners in Jeremy Saulnier’s nicely crafted, low-budget comedy-thriller.
  9. Barbershop: The Next Cut
    A cut above the season’s other belated sequels like “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2’’ and “Zoolander 2.’’
  10. The Boss
    McCarthy shines when loosely riffing, but the plot tightens around her like a vise.
  11. One More Time
    Christopher Walken is in top form as Paul Lombard, an aging romantic crooner.
  12. Hardcore Henry
    It’s breathtaking. It’s dazzling. It’s world-altering, is what it is. For the first time ever, a movie has actually done it. Hardcore Henry has precisely replicated the experience of watching someone else play a video game.
  13. Vita Activa: The Spirit of Hannah Arendt
    The film works to rescue Arendt and her phrase “the banality of evil” from years of cliché, and largely succeeds.
  14. High Strung
    The journey to this foregone conclusion features several dance-offs mashing up contemporary and classical styles, which director Michael Damian (“Love By Design”) shoots with gusto. Sure, this is all a familiar tune — but it’s still catchy.
  15. Louder Than Bombs
    Directed with great sensitivity by Norway’s Joachim Trier, the film is superbly, subtly acted.
  16. Mr. Right
    This sort of violent comedy — think “True Lies’’ meets “Grosse Pointe Blank’’ — is tough to pull off, but Spanish director Paco Cabezas and screenwriter Max Landis (“American Ultra’’) nail a screwball fantasy vibe that stops just inches short of downright silliness.
  17. Demolition
    Demolition, written by Bryan Sipe is, like director Jean-Marc Vallée’s previous films “Wild” and “Dallas Buyers Club,” a tale of interior repair sought through obsessive and near-penitential acts, but it’s stranger and at times more interesting than those other two.
  18. Too Late
    Too Late is a good-looking gimmick of a movie, one that will only be shown in theaters on 35mm film. Old-school advocate Quentin Tarantino would be proud — as he should be, since this noir starring John Hawkes feels like a big old valentine to him.
  19. Darling
    Be advised: The film opens with a warning about “flashing lights and hallucinatory images,” and, while effectively unsettling, these do eventually get a little hard on the eyes.
  20. Kill Your Friends
    A comedy as black as vinyl, Kill Your Friends is a music-industry tell-all set at a decadent London record label in 1997.
  21. Miles Ahead
    Don Cheadle gives one of the best performances of his career as jazz legend Miles Davis in Miles Ahead, even if his debut as a director ends up being an unfocused disappointment.
  22. Francofonia
    Most of the film, while handsome to look at, doesn’t rise above this level of obviousness.
  23. The Girl in the Photographs
    In the end, the movie (executive produced by the late Wes Craven) degenerates into a routine, though ably constructed, horror flick.
  24. Everybody Wants Some!!
    A fulsomely, aggressively modest no-star picture, it’s a plotless, pointless two-hour hangout.
  25. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    Some things, like ouzo and flaming cheese, are best left at single servings.
  26. Jane Wants a Boyfriend
    Jane Wants a Boyfriend loses momentum careening between Dushku’s Bianca and Krause’s Jane — the latter of whom is far more interesting.
  27. Get a Job
    Only Bryan Cranston, as Teller’s downsized dad, emerges with his dignity fully intact from Get a Job, whose scattershot direction is credited to Dylan Kidd (“Roger Dodger”).
  28. I Saw the Light
    I Saw the Light is as vital as a two-hour shrug.
  29. 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.
  30. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    While “300" maestro Snyder puts together some very striking scenes — which may be enough for many fanboys — they never really cohere into a whole. He literally throws in the kitchen sink in a film that frantically introduces characters and concepts while never clearly establishing the rules of the DC Comics universe.
