  1. A Prairie Home Companion
    Take a swig of this moonshine. There's magic in it.
  2. Frankenweenie
    Getting creeped out has never seemed this totally cool.
  3. Melancholia
    Von Trier draws us inexorably into the web of these characters. He loses us in a dream of his own devising. That's filmmaking. Now if he'd only learn to shut up at press conferences.
  4. The Class
    Fierce, funny and moving, The Class graduates with honors. It's unmissable.
  5. Friends with Kids
    An indelibly funny and touching comedy with a real sting in its tail. The laughs leave scars.
  6. The Salesman
    A dazzling, darkly funny, quietly devastating human drama from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
  7. Good Night, and Good Luck.
    In ninety-three tight, terrifically exciting minutes, Clooney makes integrity look mighty sexy.
  8. Iron Man
    All praise to acting dynamo Robert Downey Jr., who brings so much creative juice to the party that Iron Man achieves instant liftoff.
  9. Detroit
    It's a hardcore masterpiece that digs into our violent past to hold up a dark mirror to the systemic racism that still rages in the here and now.
  10. X-Men: Days of Future Past
    Step up, cynics, and see the summer 2014 blockbuster that gets damn near everything right.
  11. The End of the Tour
    Nothing and everything happen in the movie. Director James Ponsoldt (The Spectacular Now), working from a fluid script by playwright Donald Margulies, does justice to the book without compromising his film.
  12. Fruitvale Station
    Fruitvale Station is a gut punch of a movie. By standing in solidarity with Oscar, it becomes an unstoppable cinematic force.
  13. Neil Young: Heart of Gold
    This is more than a movie, it's a privilege.
  14. Marie Antoinette
    With lyrical intelligence and scrappy wit, Coppola creates a luscious world to get lost in. It's a pleasure.
  15. Quest
    In the end, what Quest gives you is not just well-earned empathy but the pleasure of the Raineys' company, and that is what genuinely makes it worth seeking out and seeing ASAP.
  16. Silver Linings Playbook
    Silver Linings Playbook is eager to sting instead of soothe. It's one of the year's best movies because Russell makes you laugh till it hurts.
  17. Waltz with Bashir
    Get ready to be knocked for a loop.
  18. Indignation
    Indignation is one of the few adaptations of Roth's work to make it to the screen with its claws intact — Schamus reveals his gifts as a filmmaker who respect the words and the space between them in equal measure.
  19. Dan in Real Life
    Carell shows a whole new side to his talents.
  20. Jurassic Park
    Colossal entertainment -- the eye-popping, mind-bending, kick-out-the-jams thrill ride of summer and probably the year.
  21. Anna Karenina
    The story has been filmed many times, but never with this kind of erotic charge. Knightley is glorious, her eyes blazing with a carnal yearning that can turn vindictive at any perceived slight.
  22. Carlos
    The movie crawls hypnotically into the skin of this global assassin and astonishes you with its brazenly violent and sexual audacity.
  23. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
    This film geek's dream of a movie pulls the ground out from under you, but stays smartass to the end. Sweet.
  24. Jason Bourne
    Through it all, Damon keeps us glued to the war going on inside Bourne's head. It's a brilliantly implosive performance; he owns the role and the movie. It's a tense, twisty mindbender anchored by something no computer can generate: soul.
  25. A Most Violent Year
    Evocatively shot by "Selma" wizard Bradford Young, A Most Violent Year reflects a world where nothing is held sacred. You watch with nerves clenched, holding on tight.
  26. Irreversible
    It would be easy and convenient to dismiss Irreversible as blatant sensationalism. But Noe's bruising film is too artfully crafted to write off as exploitation.
  27. Red Eye
    The gripping, seat- clutching suspense in this baby will pin you to your seat.
  28. (500) Days of Summer
    A different kind of love story: an honest one that takes a piece out of you.
  29. Up in the Air
    One-word reaction: bravo.
  30. The Big Sick
    Nanjiani and his wife/co-screenwriter Emily V. Gordon carved this romantic comedy out of her personal hospital experience and their own culture-clash relationship. Their hilarious and heartfelt script has a rare authenticity that pulls you in and keeps you glued to the screen.
