  1. 45 Years
    A mesmerizer that will creep into your dreams whether you let it or not.
  2. It Might Get Loud
    Does this sound like rock heaven? It is.
  3. The Bourne Supremacy
    If you've forgotten the kick you get from watching a globe-trotting, butt-kicking, whiplash-paced action movie done with humor, style and smarts, take a ride with The Bourne Supremacy.
  4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    This dynamite thriller shivers with suspense. So if you ignore The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) because it's in Swedish with English subtitles, you probably deserve the remake Hollywood will surely screw up.
  5. Blue Jasmine
    Want to see great acting, from comic to tragic and every electrifying stop in between? See Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine.
  6. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Not only is this dazzler by far the best and most thrilling of the three Harry Potter movies to date, it's a film that can stand on its own even if you never heard of author J.K. Rowling and her young wizard hero.
  7. First Reformed
    Not only is this faith-in-crisis drama one of the legendary writer-director's most incendiary films ever, it's one of the year's very best – a cinematic whirlwind that leaves you both exhilarated and spent.
  8. Life, Animated
    In no way does Owen's story claim to be a cure-all. Instead of false hope, it offers up possibility, the chance of a stimulus that might get past the blocks of developmental disorder. That's more than encouraging. Life, Animated is truly inspirational.
  9. Love Is Strange
    Love Is Strange is, above all, a triumph for Lithgow and Molina, two consummate actors who bring decades of experience to artful performances that are as emotionally expressive in silence as they are in words. Acting doesn’t get better than this. Want to know what love is? Watch Lithgow and Molina and learn.
  10. The Ides of March
    A big, bruisingly funny moral fable etched in acid and Obama disillusion.
  11. Public Enemies
    Public Enemies comes at you like Dillinger did: all of a sudden. It's movie dynamite.
  12. A Ghost Story
    This is a poetic and profound experiment you do not want to miss.
  13. Finding Dory
    If Finding Dory lacks the fresh surprise of its predecessor, it still brims with humor, heart and animation miracles.
  14. Valmont
    The film is rapturously beautiful, enticing us into a lush, aristocratic world.
  15. Interstellar
    What the neg-heads are missing about Interstellar is how enthralling it is, how gracefully it blends the cosmic and the intimate, how deftly it explores the infinite in the smallest human details.
  16. The Fits
    The Fits is more than a transporting film experience. It's cinema poetry in motion.
  17. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
    Pop-culture escapism can be thrilling when dished out by experts. Katniss is a character worth a handful of sequels. And Lawrence lights up the screen. You'll follow her anywhere.
  18. The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara
    It will knock you for a loop like no other movie this year.
  19. The Way Back
    The director, 66, brings his passion for precision to every frame of the film, refusing to hype or Hollywoodize the detailed richness of the story.
  20. Circle of Friends
    Driver's tough core of honesty and wit is bewitching. So's the movie.
  21. Haywire
    Haywire comes close to achieving Soderbergh's goal of creating "a Pam Grier movie made by Alfred Hitchcock."
  22. Tim's Vermeer
    A stimulating detective story that holds you in thrall.
  23. Kinsey
    Scrappy, funny, hot-to-trot biopic.
  24. X-Men: First Class
    In this cheerfully perverse origin tale of Magneto, Professor X and their mutant team, Vaughn delivers a fireworks display of action, smarts and fun, plus a touch of class from actors who can really act.
  25. Philomena
    It's Dench, showing how faith and hellraising can reside in the same woman, who makes Philomena moving and memorable.
  26. Under African Skies
    Powered by Simon's brilliance, Under African Skies is a cultural lightning bolt that soars on its music and an unshakable belief in the transcendence of art.
  27. John Wick: Chapter 2
    Remember how the original John Wick snuck up and wowed us in 2014? Now he's back and better than ever. John Wick: Chapter 2 is the real deal in action-movie fireworks – it's pure cinema, an adrenaline rocket of image and sound that explodes on contact.
  28. Coriolanus
    Think "The Hurt Locker," which shares a cinematographer in Barry Ackroyd with no damage to the Bard's bruising poetry. Neat trick.
  29. 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.
  30. The Post
    A rabble-rousing journalistic thriller filled with fierce commitment and fervent heart.
