  1. The Lost City of Z
    Hunnam is slow to grab us as Fawcett, but the implosive force of his performance soon takes hold.
  2. Gone Girl
    David Fincher's shockingly good film version of Gone Girl is the date-night movie of the decade for couples who dream of destroying one another.
  3. Tell No One
    The movie brims over with action -- check out Alex's run through traffic on the Paris beltway -- but Canet scores a triumph by plumbing the violence of the mind.
  4. Logan Lucky
    It's a terrific, twisty, funny-as-hell crime flick about so-called hicks who decide that making America great again starts right at home.
  5. Casino Royale
    Craig gives us James Bond in the fascinating act of inventing himself. This you do not want to miss.
  6. House of Flying Daggers
    Forget "Hero" -- that cult hit was just Zhang Yimou's warm-up for this martial-arts fireball that throws in a lyrical love story, head-spinning fights and dazzling surprises.
  7. Sin City
    The worst thing I can say about this savage, sexy and ferociously funny screen translation of three stories from Frank Miller's Sin City series of graphic novels is that it's too much of a good thing.
  8. Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer
    A spellbinder that features Richard Gere in one of his best performances ever.
  9. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
    With the smashing Jones giving us a female warrior to rank with the great ones and a cast that knows how to keep it real even in a sci-fi fantasy, Rogue One proves itself a Star Wars story worth telling.
  10. Team America: World Police
    A ruthlessly clever musical, a punchy political parody and the hottest look ever at naked puppets -- the first film, porn included, in which a woody is actually made of wood.
  11. Hanna
    As Hanna confronts her past, the movie becomes like nothing you've ever seen. I'd call it a knockout.
  12. The Cabin in the Woods
    Cabin is a deliciously devious scare dance that keeps changing the steps until you lose your shit and fall helplessly into its demonic traps.
  13. Whose Streets?
    Whether it's the "best" documentary of 2017 is a matter of opinion. But it is assuredly the most vital.
  14. The Family Fang
    Kidman and Bateman make a potent team in a provocative film that questions the limits of art in a world that forgets to be human. The result is funny, touching and vital.
  15. Locke
    It's a powerhouse of claustrophobic suspense and fierce emotion, mostly because Tom Hardy, best known as Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises," is a blazing wonder as Locke.
  16. Mystery Train
    This bracing, original comedy may be mostly smoke and air, but it's not insubstantial. Mystery Train insinuates itself into the memory and lingers on.
  17. A United Kingdom
    It's a tender love story that never goes soft on its provocations. It's a defiant cry from the heart.
  18. The Rider
    Once The Rider hooks you – and believe me, it will – there's no way you will ever forget it.
  19. BPM (Beats Per Minute)
    At the end, with Sean's condition scarily deteriorating, the raw and riveting BPM musters the emotional power to floor you.
  20. Flags of Our Fathers
    A film of awesome power and blistering provocation.
  21. In Good Company
    Fresh comic thinking spices up this smart cookie of a satire from director-writer Paul Weitz (About a Boy). He makes it sexually provocative and subversively hilarious.
  22. American Splendor
    Not your typical biopic. But it is one of the best times you'll have at the movies this year.
  23. Sound City
    The film’s genius is the way it applies the lessons of Sound City to any job. “The human element,” says Grohl, “that’s what makes the magic.” In his directing debut, Grohl shows the instincts of a real filmmaker. Sound City hits you like a shot in the heart.
  24. Her
    Jonze is a visionary whose lyrical, soulful meditation on relationships of the future cuts to the heart of the way we live now.
  25. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
    Scott Pilgrim is a breathless rush of a movie that jumps off the screen, spins your head around and then stealthily works its way into your heart.
  26. The Past
    Bejo (The Artist) digs deep into the secrets and lies that have afflicted all her relationships, in a wonderfully affecting film that haunts you long after it ends.
  27. The Way, Way Back
    The Way Way Back gets it wittily, thrillingly right. It turns the familiar into something bracingly fresh and funny. It makes you laugh, then breaks your heart.
  28. Friends with Money
    Smart, witty and alert to the buried resentments that poke through the shiny surface of affluence, Holofcener's film recognizes that money is the new sex.
  29. The Unbelievable Truth
    Hartley's debut deserves heralding; he combines a rigorous social conscience with the exuberance of fresh comic thinking.
  30. The Gatekeepers
    The Gatekeepers cuts deeper than any political thriller. It's a powerhouse.
