  1. When You're Strange
    Unhappy with what Oliver Stone did to Jim Morrison and the Doors in his 1991 biopic? Here’s the doc for you.
  2. Cold in July
    Get ready to squirm. Be sure to seek out this twisty and terrific sleeper in theaters or on VOD. It's a real find.
  3. Lost in La Mancha
    Fulton and Pepe have created an extraordinary document. Hilarious and heartbreaking.
  4. Fracture
    Just because a movie is freakin' preposterous doesn't mean it can't be diabolical fun. Case in point: Fracture.
  5. Grace Is Gone
    Simplicity -- four-square, not sappy -- is rare in film. James C. Strouse had it in his script for Lonesome Jim. As writer and first-time director, he gives Grace Is Gonethe quiet power to sneak up and floor you.
  6. Hereafter
    Hereafter, set to a resonant Eastwood score, truly is haunting.
  7. Made-Up
    Pointed and hilarious.
  8. Trance
    Dawson digs deep and nails every nuance, making the dizzying suspense resonate with raw emotion. She is, in a word, electrifying. Even when the wheels come off the too-busy plot, so is the movie.
  9. Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus
    Cera, still one of a kind and still making us love him for it (Arrested Development – yes!), never flinches. Jamie is impossible to like. And yet we do because Cera plays him without an ounce of bogus ingratiation. He's terrific.
  10. Wreck-It Ralph
    Moore brings a video junkie's passion to the movie game, and it's hilariously infectious.
  11. The LEGO Batman Movie
    Don't obsess over the rough edges. The Lego Batman Movie rises on its own goofball spirits. Wanna get nuts and shake your sillies out? This is the place to do it.
  12. Transamerica
    The movie's soul is with Huffman. Speaking in a low voice, her posture as stiff as her vocabulary, her eyes a pool of sadness and hope, she turns this small, resonant film into a cry from the heart.
  13. Suffragette
    What makes Suffragette a relevant rabble-rouser, besides Mulligan's fierce, affecting performance, is the way it won't bow to the kind of Hollywood formula that tsk-tsks about how bad it was then — only to wrap everything up with a comfy banner that says, "You've come a long way, baby."
  14. The Outsiders
    Francis Coppola's revision of his 1983 film of S.E. Hinton's best seller The Outsiders is funny, touching and revelatory, with twenty-two minutes of added footage and a new soundtrack featuring Elvis Presley. [Review of re-release]
  15. Delirious
    Buscemi makes this pathetic and potentially lethal shutterbug a figure of surprising humor and compassion.
  16. Ex Machina
    Isaac's brilliant take on this bearded, buzz-cut and barefoot Dr. Frankenstein is a tour de force of shock and awe. Ex Machina springs surprises that will haunt you for a good long time.
  17. Equity
    To the credit of this scrappy, admirably femcentric film, crisply directed by Meera Menon from a tightly wound script by Amy Fox (with Reiner and Thomas also doing double-duty as producers), Equity refuses to paint a rosy picture of women at the top.
  18. I Smile Back
    Silverman, digging so deep into her character that we can feel her nerve endings, is like nothing we've seen before. She's fierce and unerring. No showing off; she just is. This is acting of the highest caliber.
  19. Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool
    What an astounding actress Annette Bening is. And she’s at her very best in Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool playing Gloria Grahame.
  20. We Own the Night
    We Own the Night is defiantly, refreshingly unhip.
  21. The Andromeda Strain
    Robert Wise's adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel about a deadly space pathogen trades in the genre's cosmic pulp and head-trippiness for a procedural-like seriousness. Germaphobes, proceed with extreme caution.
  22. Star Trek Beyond
    Despite the futuristic tilt in the title, Star Trek Beyond works best when it boldly goes retro.
  23. A Late Quartet
    Grace notes abound in A Late Quartet, a small, shining gem of a movie that works its way into your heart with insinuating potency of music.
  24. The Wolfpack
    The Wolfpack is frustrating in how much it doesn't tell us about the Angulos and the legal tangle that comes with their release. But once you've met these kids, you won't forget them — or the film that puts a hypnotic and haunting spin on movie love.
  25. Lords of Dogtown
    Hardwicke whips up a frenzy of crazy-cool board action, with Alva choreographing the stunts. Even when the slippery-slope-of-success cliches halt the film's momentum, the ready-to-rock actors rev it up again.
  26. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
    Shane Black creates a movie that is defiantly smartass and too cool for the room. I couldn't have liked it more.
  27. Deadpool
    This movie's junky feel is part of its charm. Sure it goes on too long and repetition dulls its initial cleverness. Still, Deadpool is party time for action junkies and Reynolds may just have found the role that makes his career.
  28. The Company You Keep
    There's enough plot to stuff a miniseries, but Redford never loses sight of the human drama. Martyrdom is not conferred, nor is reinvention equated with redemption. Drawing skillfully on a first-rate cast, Redford builds a riveting, resonant political thriller that values the complexity of its characters and the intelligence of its audience.
  29. Live by Night
    There’s enough here for half a dozen movies, and you can feel the severe overcrowding. But you can't keep your eyes off it.
  30. Friday Night
    A mesmerizing erotic odyssey.
