  1. The Clan
    Swift, confident, and exceptionally nasty, this Argentine film bears roughly the same relationship to the Martin Scorsese of “Goodfellas” that Brian De Palma does to, well, all of Hitchcock.
  2. The Program
    It’s basically a narrative spin on Alex Gibney’s 2013 documentary “The Armstrong Lie,” only with less cycling footage. This is a plus for those of us easily bored by such things (so many interchangeable mountain passes and neon jerseys!), but there isn’t a ton of new material here.
  3. Fireworks Wednesday (2006)
    Farhadi brings keen discernment to this unraveling marriage, and a third-act revelation packs a wallop.
  4. The Preppie Connection
    Toby is so un-self-aware that his journey seems like mere obtuseness; what the film has to say about youthful degeneracy is less than zero.
  5. The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    By the time David gets someone to unleash the gas, I was wishing he could simply erase all memories of the sorry “Divergent’’ franchise.
  6. The Bronze
    Lovable misanthropes can be a lot of fun, but someone forgot to put in the lovable.
  7. My Golden Days
    Desplechin draws uniformly superb performances from his young cast, making the coming-of-age genre seem fresh and vital.
  8. Midnight Special
    You may feel echoes of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Starman,” but writer-director Jeff Nichols has ultimately crafted his own unique twist on the genre.
  9. Miracles from Heaven
    Any Christian movie dealing in miracles is likely to be too sweet for some but this one is gently moving rather than pushy about its religious elements.
  10. 10 Cloverfield Lane
    A real nail-biter of a monster movie. The question is: Who’s the monster?
  11. The Brothers Grimsby
    As a comedy, The Brothers Grimsby is weak and scattershot, but it’s useful as an unintended self-indictment of the chattering classes’ disgust and disdain for white working folk.
  12. Marguerite
    While the premise (inspired by the true story of tune-challenged American socialite Florence Foster Jenkins) could be as cruel as “Carrie,” Frot’s would-be diva is achingly sympathetic.
  13. Lolo
    Even the most extreme punishments are softened by hilariously neurotic dialogue. Vive la Delpy!
  14. Remember
    Christopher Plummer confronts Nazi horrors again in Atom Egoyan’s preposterous thriller, which squanders a terrific performance by the Oscar-winning actor.
  15. Hello, My Name Is Doris
    Field, as usual, goes all-out; the film may be a comedy, but she attains a few moments of real heartbreak.
  16. Eye in the Sky
    South African director Gavin Hood (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine’’) pulls off some really tricky tonal shifts.
  17. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    There aren’t enough movies in which Tina Fey fires an AK-47 while grinning maniacally. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot turns out to make excellent use of her established skills while revealing new ones: It’s “30 Rock Me to the Casbah.”
  18. Songs My Brothers Taught Me
    Where Zhao excels is in the range of emotions she gets from a mostly nonprofessional cast.
  19. Zootopia
    The year’s best film so far.
  20. London Has Fallen
    Racist, stupid and boasting cheesy effects.
  21. Knight of Cups
    Chop up the film’s segments, replay them in any order, and things would make no more or less sense.
  22. Emelie
    The film begins by telegraphing impending doom (and wraps up, underwhelmingly, with thriller clichés).
  23. The Wave
    The Wave, competent as it is, lacks the heart-rending power of the similar 2012 tsunami movie “The Impossible.”
  24. Trapped
    Scary and sad, Trapped is for anyone who cares about the precarious future of reproductive health for American women.
  25. Gods of Egypt
    Like the lobby of a Donald Trump building, it looks ever so expensive and amazingly cheap at the same time.
  26. Eddie the Eagle
    Hugh Jackman, as a (fictional) former American jumper named Bronson Peary, enlivens things a little.
  27. Triple 9
    In the end, this relentlessly nihilistic crime-caper thriller adds up to less than the sum of its impressive parts.
  28. King Georges
    Frankel has a fine eye for telling detail, and the result, while sentimental, is as irresistible as the dessert cart.
  29. Backtrack
    “I see dead people,” Adrien Brody all but exclaims in Backtrack, a movie that tries to make a choo-choo out of “The Sixth Sense” but immediately goes off the rails.
  30. Race
    Hitler didn’t actually snub Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics, but the story is too good not to tell, so Race tells it anyway — adding the (true) detail that Owens was snubbed back home. By someone called “the White House,” because this supposedly truth-telling movie can’t bear to spell out the words Franklin D. Roosevelt.
