  1. Fahrenheit 11/9
    One of Moore’s best and most incisively funny films — right up there with "Roger & Me" (1989), "Bowling for Columbine" (2002) and "Sicko" (2007) — his latest goes way past taking potshots at the Donald, though it does that with piercing intelligence and wounding wit.
  2. Happiest Season
    It’s not a knockout, but the actors frequently are. The rest is an exercise in not overdoing it. It’s here, it’s queer, it’s not much else — and that’s OK.
  3. The Outfit
    The Outfit is a crime thriller made to order, and one that takes pride in how it looks, how things fit on it, the shape it cuts when it moves.
  4. Crazy Love
    For those who don't believe that truth trumps fiction for whacked-out depravity, mark this shockingly fierce and funny spellbinder as Exhibit A.
  5. Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love
    What makes this film unmissable, however, is the fact that we get Marianne’s story more or less in full as well. It’s a fleshing out of someone who was more than just a muse, more than just an object of affection for a notorious ladies’ man, a famous singer and an infamous bastard.
  6. Starter for 10
    Jolly good show.
  7. 22 July
    There’s no doubting its power. This film will take a piece out of you.
  8. Intimacy
    It isn't the sex that shocks here, it's the chilling core of loneliness. Intimacy dares to cut deep, and its daring gets to you.
  9. Changing Lanes
    What these guys do for revenge during one hellish day in the Big Apple makes the panic room look like Barney's toy box. The film itself goes off the deep end way before the end credits.
  10. The Harder They Fall
    The Harder They Fall is a good piece of wish-fulfillment pop. It knows what it is. It’s accomplished enough not to be mistaken for what it isn’t trying to be.
  11. Compliance
    Craig Zobel's potent and provocative Compliance is torture to sit through. It's also indispensable filmmaking. How is that possible? Check it out.
  12. Infamous
    The film's most pleasing surprise is the beautifully nuanced portrait of Capote's confidante, "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee, by Sandra Bullock. You heard me. Bullock gives the film what it otherwise lacks: the ring of truth.
  13. Star Trek Beyond
    Despite the futuristic tilt in the title, Star Trek Beyond works best when it boldly goes retro.
  14. North Country
    Any similarities between Josey and Lois Jenson, the real woman who made Eveleth Mines pay for their sins in a landmark 1988 class-action suit, are purely coincidental. Instead, we get a TV-movie fantasy of female empowerment glazed with soap-opera theatrics.
  15. Like Crazy
    Jones is a marvel. Sundance couldn't get enough of her. You won't, either. Her performance grabs hold and won't let go.
  16. 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.
  17. The Hunger Games
    My advice is to keep your eyes on Lawrence, who turns the movie into a victory by presenting a heroine propelled by principle instead of hooking up with the cutest boy.
  18. The Yes Men
    Subversive and diabolically funny.
  19. I Used to Go Here
    Rey deserves credit for comic observations that sting.
  20. The American President
    It's a revamped Cinderella story with power as the aphrodisiac, and Douglas and Bening play it to the classy hilt. The courtship scenes in the film's lighter, more deft first half have the bounce of a moonstruck fable.
  21. Crazy, Stupid, Love
    What makes Crazy Stupid Love a cut above is actors who let pain seep into the laughs. Here's a comedy you really can take to heart.
  22. Deepwater Horizon
    Berg does a tremendous job of throwing us into the action with the help of dizzying handheld camerawork from Enrique Chediak.
  23. Limbo
    Limbo is vital personal filmmaking from a world-class practitioner of the art.
  24. Lamb
    What felt like an unusual metaphor for how parenting taps into an inherent need to nurture suddenly swerves into Grimms’ fairy-tale territory. It’s the sweetest, most touching waking nightmare you’ve ever experienced.
  25. Fighting with My Family
    The movie even plays like a wrestling match. It’s Underdog Cinema 101.
  26. End of Watch
    End of Watch gives you the savage whoosh of being on a job that can get you killed. Sins of cop clichés can be forgiven when a movie pays honest tribute to police on the line.
  27. Apocalypto
    Gibson has made a film of blunt provocation and bruising beauty.
  28. Smile
    [Parker's] made a scary movie that balances psychological shock therapy with old-fashioned fright, shadowy dread with blunt splatterfest FX, an artsy-fartsy sense of stylistics slapped on to a twisty B-movie scenario. It may open with Paramount name slapped on the beginning, but this is textbook A24 horror by any other name.
  29. The Adventures of Tintin
    The movie comes at you in a whoosh, like a volcano of creative ideas in full eruption.
  30. The Conjuring
    It scared the living crap out of me. Only at the movies is that a compliment.
