  1. Rachel Getting Married
    The acting is of the highest caliber. Winger, magnificent and too long between films, is a volcano of repressed anger.
  2. The Messenger
    Its truths are personal. It means to shake you. And does.
  3. Hell or High Water
    Chris Pine proves he can act. Ben Foster, well, he always could. And Jeff Bridges shows them both how it's done. Those are just three riveting reasons to pony up for Hell or High Water.
  4. Tarnation
    The result is a film that defies description. I'd call it some kind of miracle.
  5. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
    Sam Peckinpah lives! The rampaging spirit of the late filmmaker, known as Bloody Sam for films such as "The Wild Bunch" and "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia," is all over this blistering modern Western from first-time director Tommy Lee Jones.
  6. Fateless
    This unique and devastating look at the Holocaust is drawn from the autobiographical novel of 2002 Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertesz.
  7. The Queen
    One of the best and liveliest movies of the year - funny and touching in ways you can't predict.
  8. Shut Up & Sing
    For three years, the camera focuses on the Chicks as wives, mothers, entertainers and political flash points. Their fight to stay uncompromised is inspiring.
  9. Apocalypto
    Gibson has made a film of blunt provocation and bruising beauty.
  10. 10 Cloverfield Lane
    10 Cloverfield Lane comes loaded with everything a psychological thriller needs to shatter your nerves — and then kicks it up a notch.
  11. The Bourne Ultimatum
    The movie is thunderously exciting, but what makes it resonate is the wrenching story we read on Damon's face. We've waited all summer for a wild ride to grab us with more than jolts. Now it's here. Hang on.
  12. The Wind Rises
    It's a big story, and in this landmark film Miyazaki is up to every demand. Sit back and behold.
  13. Nebraska
    Just try to take your eyes off Dern. In his finest two hours onscreen, he gives a performance worth cheering. There's not an ounce of bullshit in it. Same goes for the movie.
  14. You Were Never Really Here
    Joaquin Phoenix is simply stupendous in You Were Never Really Here. His performance is damn near flammable — dangerous if you get too close.
  15. Capote
    Capote is a movie that doesn't pull its punches. It's a knockout.
  16. De Palma
    Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow, filmmakers themselves and De Palma fans to the bone, haven't gathered a bunch of talking heads to debate De Palma's significance. They just put the man himself on camera, mic him up and let him rip. The result is heaven for movie lovers.
  17. Beasts of No Nation
    It's the remarkable Attah, whose young face reflects a hellish journey, that makes this fierce movie a blazing, indelible achievement.
  18. Spellbound
    By the time they're onstage, your pulse is pounding right along with theirs. Spell this movie: g-r-e-a-t.
  19. Get Low
    Funny, touching and acutely observed film.
  20. Howl's Moving Castle
    There's a word for the kind of comic, dramatic, romantic, transporting visions Miyazaki achieves in Howl's: bliss.
  21. Martha Marcy May Marlene
    It's Olsen, as a damaged soul clinging to shifting ground, who makes this spellbinder impossible to shake.
  22. A Quiet Place
    The acting is flawless, with Simmonds and young Jupe making every minute count. Blunt (Krasinski's wife off screen) is in a class by herself, taking a near-silent role and building a tour de force of expressive emotion.
  23. Love & Mercy
    Musically, the film is a miracle, right and riveting in every detail.
  24. Looper
    Lacing tremendously exciting action with touching gravity, Looper hits you like a shot in the heart.
  25. The Tillman Story
    This documentary succeeds triumphantly on so many levels that its full impact doesn't hit you until you have time to register its aftershocks.
  26. Loveless
    Aside from Alyosha, there's no one to root for here, and Zvyagintsev paints the bleakest of picture. But his filmmaking has a driving force that hurtles you along, and like his 2014 masterpiece "Leviathan," this micro-focused drama allows the director to turn the story of one family into an X-ray of a nation's bruised soul.
  27. Spy
    All the actors come up aces. And let's bottle the delicious byplay between McCarthy and Byrne, whose comic timing is bitchy perfection.
  28. Room
    Room deserves to be seen unspoiled. All you need to know is that the performances of Larson and Tremblay will blow you away.
  29. Trouble the Water
    Lessin and Deal have made Trouble the Water a spellbinder you do not want to miss.
  30. A Very Long Engagement
    An emotional powerhouse.
