  1. The Big Short
    A hell of a hilarious time at the movies if you're up for laughs that stick in your throat.
  2. Moana
    Sound plays as crucial a role as visuals in replicating an authentic culture to drive the storytelling.
  3. Chris & Don. A Love Story
    You wind up caring deeply about the affair that began in the 1950s between American teenager Don Bachardy and three-decades-older Christopher Isherwood, the noted British author whose "Berlin Stories" inspired "Cabaret."
  4. Shadow
    Shadow isn’t a bad epic so much as a banal one.
  5. Gimme the Loot
    Instead of the easy attitudinizing that is the default position for teen comedies, Gimme the Loot fills each frame with raw talent and exuberance.
  6. Skyfall
    This is Bond like you've never seen him, almost Freudian in his vulnerability. And a dynamite Daniel Craig, never better in the role, nails Bond's ferocity and feeling.
  7. Closure
    It’s a devastating look at paternal love and resilience, which respectfully follows this grieving father (and several others like him) as he refuses to give up.
  8. A Fantastic Woman
    A Fantastic Woman catches a human being in the challenging and exhilarating process of inventing herself. The result is unique and unforgettable.
  9. 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.
  10. The Go-Go's
    The doc’s goal: Don’t think of the Go-Go’s as a bit of Reagan-era nostalgia, the musical equivalent of a Rubik’s cube. Think of them as a first-tier, kick-ass rock group, period, full stop, the end. Mission accomplished.
  11. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
    With the cast getting looser and the mind games kinkier, it's hard to resist.
  12. Paprika
    Fiercely provocative, Paprika shames Hollywood’s use of animation as a kiddie pacifier.
  13. The Hate U Give
    It is impossible to over-praise Stenberg’s incandescent performance, a gathering storm that grows in ferocity and feeling with each scene.
  14. Hairspray
    It's hard to resist the film's exuberance.
  15. King Kong
    Here is the jaw-dropping, eye-popping, heart-stopping movie epic we've been waiting for all year.
  16. Chicago
    Chicago, based on Bob Fosse's Broadway smash, kills.
  17. That's Entertainment! III
    The list goes on with moments historic and hilarious from the likes of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Arlene Dahl, Ann Miller, Jimmy Durante and even Elvis. That’s more than entertainment, that’s pure gold.
  18. I Lost My Body
    You may also feel so exhilarated watching an insanely creative voice in animation flex his storytelling muscles that you don’t realize the huge lump in your throat.
  19. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
    There’s a good deal of fun in Glass Onion too, along with some sharp throwaway lines and the joy of watching actors dig into parts in which the option of going over the top has already been built in.
  20. Starred Up
    O'Connell, soon to head the cast of Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken," explodes onscreen in a star-is-born performance. Starred Up is a small indie film in danger of slipping through the cracks at the Hollywood-driven multiplex.
  21. Midnight in Paris
    What's fresh about Midnight in Paris is the way he (Allen) identifies with Gil's idealization of the past, of the Paris that represented art and life at their fullest.
  22. Mirai
    Mirai casts a spell that works on children and adults alike, but in different ways. Its creator’s artistry and empathy are the connecting links. It may be the animator’s smallest film, but it stands tall. You’ll be enchanted.
  23. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning
    Dead Reckoning never rises to that best-in-series movie’s level, though McQuarrie (and cowriters Bruce Geller and Erik Jendresen) concocts set pieces and the cast carves out stand-alone moments that stick with you past the credit roll.
  24. She Dies Tomorrow
    It feels both timeless in its ability to channel a universal fear of mortality and if it has arrived, regrettably, right on time.
  25. Living
    It’s the star himself who, even more than the decor and the change of cultural scenery, lifts Living out of the realm of a remake and into something far more profound. It becomes another story of a man at long last learning how to embrace the world, yet one that is completely substantial and shattering and, yeah, even life-affirming on its own.
  26. The World's End
    It'll knock you on you ass from laughing when you're not rubbing your eyes in disbelief.
  27. District 9
    This baby has the stuff to end the movie summer on a note of dazzle and distinction.
  28. The Nest
    Law and Coon aren’t the only reason to see Durkin’s marital nightmare of a movie, but they are the main reason to see it, and both of them give these characters so much shared history communicated without saying a word.
  29. Ford v Ferrari
    Luckily, Mangold fuels his true-life plot with enough flesh-and-blood action to leave you dizzy.
  30. Bad Education
    A rapturous masterwork.
