  1. Into the West
    It's the scenes of the boys on horseback, riding this moonbeam of a movie to a fairy-tale ending, that provide the essential ingredient: a sense of wonder.
  2. The Tree of Life
    Like its predecessors (Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line and The New World), Tree delivers truths that don't go down easy. No one with a genuine interest in the potential of film would think of missing it.
  3. The Rock
    It's a popcorn-movie deluxe.
  4. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
    Crowe -- fierce, funny and every inch the hero -- gives a blazing star performance.
  5. Lust, Caution
    Lee is a true master, and his potently erotic and suspenseful Lust, Caution casts a spell you won't want to break.
  6. The Darjeeling Limited
    All the acting is exemplary. Brody, new to Wes' World, is revelatory as Peter.
  7. Super Size Me
    It’s one of the blackest comedies to hit the screen since Dr. Strangelove. Spurlock proves himself a supersize talent; he makes you choke on every laugh.
  8. The Motorcycle Diaries
    A mesmerizing look at an asthmatic, rich-boy medical student in the act of discovering his insurgent spirit.
  9. Sugar
    The result is raw and riveting.
  10. Meek's Cutoff
    Reichardt has crafted a haunted dream of a movie to get lost in.
  11. Fantastic Mr. Fox
    An adventure in pure imagination that plays to the smart kid in all of us.
  12. A Monster Calls
    Evocative, mysterious and shot through with bruising humor and heartbreak, A Monster Calls gets you where you live and where there's no place to hide. There's magic in it.
  13. The Grand Budapest Hotel
    His (Anderson) abiding love for a vanished past, real and imagined, is at the core of The Grand Budapest Hotel. The thrill comes in watching as this rare talent gives his movie wings.
  14. Mississippi Grind
    The movie needed great performances, and it gets them from Ryan Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn.
  15. The Martian
    This suspenseful survival tale, smartass to its core, slaps a smile on your face that you'll wear all the way home.
  16. Alien 3
    If Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) had more surprises and James Cameron's Aliens (1986) more thrills, David Fincher's austere, low-tech, darkly funny Alien 3 has more sharply observed characters.
  17. Ratatouille
    What makes Ratatouille such a hilarious and heartfelt wonder is the way Bird contrives to let it sneak up on you.
  18. Fish Tank
    While you're remembering new high-impact names, add Arnold. In only her second film, after 2006's "Red Road," she keeps the screen filled to bursting with the beauty and raw terror of life.
  19. Bully
    The best social documents on film do more than show you what's wrong in the world – they make it personal. Bully does that with a passion.
  20. The Secret Lives of Dentists
    Scott and Davis could not be better. You're in for something special.
  21. Hitchcock/Truffaut
    From "The 39 Steps" and "The Lodger" to "Rear Window," "Psycho" and all stops in between, this film gets us drunk on Hitchcock's movies again. My only problem with Hitchcock/Truffaut is that it's too short at 80 minutes. More please, and soon.
  22. The Five Obstructions
    Keep "Survivor" and "Fear Factor," and give me this spellbinding mind teaser, the ultimate game for movie buffs.
  23. Sleepers
    Sleepers, for all the doubts it raises, is the work of a man who speaks for absent friends and "for the children we were." It's his secret heart.
  24. The Shape of Water
    The result is an acting duet that will haunt your dreams and break your heart.
  25. The Doors
    The Doors is a thrilling spectacle - the King Kong of rock movies - featuring a starmaking, ball-of-fire performance by Val Kilmer as Morrison.
  26. In This World
    Without an ounce of phony Hollywood uplift, Winterbottom's film cuts right to the heart.
  27. Spider-Man 2
    A sequel of twisted thrills and sly surprises.
  28. Wedding Crashers
    Sometimes a movie comedy just clicks. Welcome to one of those times.
  29. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work
    There's not a timid, sympathy-begging minute in it. Even better, you leave Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work with the exhilarating feeling that the lady is just hitting her stride.
  30. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
    As Joe blurs the line between reality and the supernatural, his haunting and hypnotic film exerts a hold you don't want to break. It's a beauty.
