  1. Bloody Sunday
    The result is a grim, startling motion picture.
  2. Girls Town
    Girls Town does an excellent job of uncovering the angst, pressure, and doubt associated with the late teenage years. Its a refreshing film, not only because it shines the spotlight exclusively on girls (all the male characters are incidental) but because it does so without a whiff of exploitation.
  3. Coraline
    The film has been crafted with a consideration that the best family movies appeal not only to a young target audience but to the parents who accompany their offspring to theaters.
  4. Young Adam
    Darkly effective, and its grip lasts longer than we might be entirely comfortable with.
  5. Bride & Prejudice
    Bright, colorful, and exhilarating.
  6. Beginners
    The result is an effective portrait of a damaged individual uncertain about the meaning of love and commitment and the two key relationships in his life that teach him lessons about both.
  7. A Good Woman
    The movie succeeds because screenwriter Howard Himelstein keeps Wilde's best lines intact and the actors speak the words with practiced confidence.
  8. There's Something About Mary
    [The film] occasionally had me convulsed with laughter.
  9. Cloverfield
    Cloverfield's gritty, in-your-face style is uncompromising. If you're looking for a nice, clean movie filmed with a steadycam, you'll have to look elsewhere.
  10. I Shot Andy Warhol
    This is a film of powerful ideas, impressive set design, and compelling performances.
  11. Away from Her
    A tender movie about a poignant and difficult subject.
  12. About a Boy
    Not a daring film, but it is immensely likable. Every once in a while, a movie comes along that, despite traversing familiar terrain, is made with enough all-around skill that it overcomes its clichéd origins. About a Boy is such a movie.
  13. Elizabeth
    It's a rousing adventure that keeps the audience involved for the entirety of the two hour running time while opening a window into the culture that gave birth to Christopher Marlowe, Edmund Spenser, Francis Bacon, and William Shakespeare.
  14. You've Got Mail
    A feel-good movie that offers enough comedy and romance to warm the heart without risking a sentimental overdose.
  15. The Drop
    The Drop's unpredictability is organic rather than sensationalistic. The movie doesn't pull surprises out of thin air for the sole purpose of shocking an audience - it lets them develop naturally.
  16. Hidden Figures
    Historical fudges aside, Hidden Figures provides an example of determination and talent triumphing over an unfair and repressive system.
  17. Summer of Sam
    It is a dark, violent, sexually explicit motion picture that will surely offend timid viewers.
  18. State of Play
    There's no question that State of Play feels a little rushed and the density of plot can be daunting, but the resulting tale unfolds with an urgency and sense of verisimilitude that will keep most viewers intrigued and involved without losing many along the way.
  19. Absolute Power
    A fairly routine thriller that gets high marks as a result of tight pacing and top-notch acting.
  20. Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
    One of those pleasant movie-going experiences that doesn't offend, excite, or challenge anyone. There are all sorts of likable things about it.
  21. Green Room
    Green Room is a simple movie with a straightforward premise. The film works for two reasons: Stewart’s presence and Saulnier’s execution.
  22. The Runaways
    The three leads provide convincing performances, with Dakota Fanning being the standout.
  23. Passengers
    The movie’s failings come during its final act when contrivances and an adherence to big budget conventions transform Passengers into a less compelling experience than what it starts out as.
  24. Silence
    The movie eventually achieves a level of powerful drama…but only after dithering for more than an hour.
  25. A Mighty Heart
    The film is fascinating and at times disturbing, but Winterbottom's arms-length style mutes any emotional impact.
  26. Evening
    The strength of the screenplay and acting provide a satisfying, although not overwhelming, two hours of romance, drama, and tragedy.
  27. The Vanished Elephant
    The Vanished Element provides an opportunity for those who enjoy the conceits and stylistic approach of neo-noir thrillers but are looking for something less entrenched in the standard narrative structure.
  28. Easy A
    Easy A may not be a great movie, but it is a knowing and enjoyable one.
  29. Kids for Cash
    Kids for Cash may not be inherently cinematic (a lot of the footage, after all, first appeared on television) but it is compelling.
  30. F1: The Movie
    The effectiveness of the film’s overall aesthetic cannot be understated: what F1 lacks in narrative development it more than compensates for with its thrill-ride aspects. Watching the film, you may not believe you’re in a racing car but you will feel like you’re doing more than passively sitting in a theater seat.
