  1. Slumdog Millionaire
    Brimming with humor and heartbreak, Slumdog Millionaire meets at the border of art and commerce and lets one flow into the other as if that were the natural order of things.
  2. Jackie
    Powered by a transfixing Portman, Larrain's film – one of the year's best – is appropriately hard to pin down and impossible to forget.
  3. Baby Driver
    Now this is what I call a summer movie. Baby Driver has it all: thrills, laughs, sex, nonstop action, a killer soundtrack, a star-making performance from Ansel Elgort and a director – Edgar Wright – who can knock the wind out of you.
  4. I Shot Andy Warhol
    Immensely entertaining and provocative.
  5. Doubt
    You may have doubts about which side to choose, but there's no doubt about this mind-bender. It'll pin you to your seat.
  6. Avatar
    Tone-deaf but thunderously exciting.
  7. Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
    Kudrow's Michele is a deadpan delight as she joins fellow misfit Romy (a deliciously funny Mira Sorvino).
  8. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
    McNaughton has made a film of clutching terror that's meant to heighten our awareness instead of dulling it. At the end, Henry is still out there among us. And he's no B-movie monster in a hockey mask. He could be the guy next door. This film gives off a dark chill that follows you all the way home.
  9. Crude
    Here’s a powerhouse of a documentary that makes you feel mad as hell and unwilling to take it anymore.
  10. Life Itself
    Don't miss it. Though Life Itself is a warts-and-all portrait Ebert didn't live to review, my guess is his thumbs would be shooting upward. Mine sure are.
  11. Five Easy Pieces
    A marvel of letting an antihero's restless wanderings dictate the terms of the story, Pieces doesn't explain its lead's ennui so much as honors it.
  12. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
    A dynamite film that ranks with the year's best.
  13. Appaloosa
    Appaloosa is gripping entertainment that keeps springing surprises.
  14. Cyrus
    Cyrus, the summer's best, most original and crazily inventive comedy, is potently funny and painfully real.
  15. American Hustle
    For some, the silver linings in Russell’s movies represent a failure to embrace darkness. I see them as a humanist’s act of resistance. That’s why American Hustle ranks with the year’s best movies. It gets under your skin.
  16. Toy Story 3
    A joy to behold.
  17. Little Children
    This unnervingly funny and quietly devastating film -- director Todd Field's first since his smash 2001 debut with "In the Bedroom" -- pulls you in like a magnetic-force field.
  18. Down in the Valley
    Down in the Valley is a wild thing that sticks with you long after it's over. You know, a real movie.

    Parenthood
    Parenthood, heartfelt and howlingly comic, also comes spiced with risk and mischief. Just when you fear the movie might be swept away on a tidal wave of wholesomeness, a line, a scene or a performance poke through to restore messy, perverse reality.
  20. Get Out
    A jolt-a-minute horroshow laced with racial tension and stinging satirical wit.
  21. Finding Neverland
    Glorious entertainment.
  22. The Constant Gardener
    Director Fernando Meirelles and screenwriter Jeffrey Caine put a human face on John le Carre's novel of sex, lies and dirty politics in modern Africa. Prepare for a thrilling ride.
  23. Bob Roberts
    Robbins’s debut as a director is exceptionally accomplished. He shrewdly balances his sense of purpose with a flair for mischief.
  24. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    It will hook you good and keep you riveted.
  25. Blue Is the Warmest Color
    Blue Is the Warmest Color sweeps you up on waves of humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance.
  26. My Life as a Zucchini
    What's lucky is that no matter what language it's in, My Life as Zucchini never sacrifices what’s true for what’s trite and easier to sell. This is animation as an art form, inspiring and indelible.
  27. The Hangover
    The Hangover ain't art, but Phillips has shaped the hardcore hilarity into the summer party movie of all our twisted dreams.
  28. Capturing the Friedmans
    It's a modern horror story that gets you where you live.
  29. Citizenfour
    It's a wow of a thriller with a soul that isn't computer generated. Poitras may be guilty of taking Snowden at face value, but she succeeds brilliantly in evoking a shadow villain intent on world domination. Big Brother is back, baby, and he's gone digital.
  30. The Wrestler
    You watch The Wrestler (with a superb title song from Bruce Springsteen) in a state of pure exhilaration. A great actor in a great movie will do that to you.
