  1. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
    Neither bad enough to be a complete waste of time nor good enough to remember past next Tuesday, the film co-written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie staples together one routine action piece after another with cutesy dialogue and lots of merciless pounding away at iPad screens.
  2. The Kindergarten Teacher
    Israeli director Nadav Lapid uses a well-worn concept — a lonely little boy is taken under a teacher’s wing — to create a slow, creepy movie.
  3. A LEGO Brickumentary
    For a company that purports to be all about sparking creativity, asking a kid to follow Ikea-evocative directions to assemble an X-wing fighter seems at odds with the mission.
  4. Best of Enemies
    Best of Enemies illustrates how even literary swashbucklers can be reduced to schoolboy behavior.
  5. Listen to Me Marlon
    Whether you’re a veteran Brando-phile or a newcomer, Listen to Me Marlon is a totally fascinating glimpse into the making (and unmaking, and remaking) of a legend.
  6. The End of the Tour
    The End of the Tour is a five-day bender of a talk — a film that illuminates like few others the singular pleasure of shared discovery of one another’s sensibility. In an unassuming way, it’s a glory.
  7. Vacation
    The geniuses behind the new film just don’t understand the difference between genuine subversiveness and pointless vulgarity.
  8. Lucky Stiff
    Overall, the insubstantial Lucky Stiff feels like community theater with an extravagant budget.
  9. Paper Towns
    “Risky Business” it’s not, and Delevingne is no Rebecca De Mornay.
  10. The Outrageous Sophie Tucker
    Too much screen time is devoted to producers Lloyd and Susan Ecker, fans who serve as on-screen narrators and serve up tidbits from Tucker’s 400 scrapbooks, some of which, frankly, seem highly improbable.
  11. Phoenix
    More than a thriller, Phoenix is a ghost story, made plain in an extraordinary shot of Nelly’s terror at a passing train.
  12. Staten Island Summer
    A movie that won’t knock you out with originality but may charm you with its wit.
  13. Southpaw
    The finest 1947 boxing picture of 2015 is here: Southpaw, a film that’s gruntingly insistent on its clichés.
  14. Pixels
    It stumbled onto an accomplishment truly awe-inspiring: It makes “Battleship” and “The Watch” look good.
  15. Lila & Eve
    Viola Davis lets her Charles Bronson flag fly in Lila and Eve, a ludicrous revenge thriller that should have been called, “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.”
  16. Trainwreck
    It’s very funny and sweet and even a little weepy, and it has maybe the best scene ever filmed of dirty talk gone wrong. In other words, it’s a Schumer/Apatow production — may there be more of them to come.
  17. Irrational Man
    Irrational Man is so clumsily staged and lethargically paced that it makes such clunkers as “Small Time Crooks” and “Cassandra’s Dream” look like minor classics.
  18. Mr. Holmes
    Mr. Holmes, derived from a novel by Mitch Cullin, isn’t quite as deep or as poignant, but amply rewards McKellen and Holmes fans willing to go with its leisurely pace.
  19. Ardor
    By the last battle, you may find yourself hoping that at least one person escapes without being macheted to death.
  20. Ant-Man
    The film never flags. To find a smarter bug-man saga, you’d have to go back to “The Metamorphosis.” I was far from sold on insect superheroes, but now I say: Bring on Cockroach Chick.
  21. The Look of Silence
    “The past is past. I don’t want to remember . . . the wound is healed,” says Kemat, an Indonesian man who survived the massacre of more than 10,000 people at the Snake River in 1965. As this documentary shows, nothing could be further from the truth.
  22. The Stanford Prison Experiment
    The film spirals steadily downward through humanity’s worst impulses as the guards, led by Angarano’s character, explore the free rein they’re given to torment the powerless.
  23. Court
    Tamhane’s quiet techniques build to pure, cold fury.
  24. The Gallows
    Even by the modest standards of the genre, the ending is jaw-droppingly ridiculous.
  25. Boulevard
    Robin Williams’ last live-action film, Boulevard, is a frustrating ending to a stellar career, a cramped and melancholy film about a cramped and melancholy man.
  26. Tangerine
    The two working girls at the center of Tangerine are played by engaging newcomers: Kitana Kiki Rodriguez as the freshly out-of-jail Sin-Dee Rella, and Mya Taylor as her best friend Alexandra.

    Do I Sound Gay?
    The film looks back at “gay voice” throughout popular culture, starting with films of the 1930s and with TV icon Paul Lynde; it also plays a disheartening clip of a young Louis CK bellowing “f - - - - t!” in a routine.
  28. Meet Me in Montenegro
    There are no surprises, but for once there’s a set of artsy millennial characters who feel like real humans, and Berlin looks great.
  29. Self/less
    Self/less is a celluloid smoothie blended from dozens of familiar elements, but it’s neither tasty nor nutritious.
  30. Minions
    By far, the highlight of Minions is hearing The Beatles’ “Got To Get You Into My Life” over the closing credits — the first time I think I’ve ever heard it used in a movie. Otherwise, the prequel to “Despicable Me” is like trying to form a rock band out of three Ringos.
