  1. In Bruges
    A haunting and hypnotic movie, just the thing to get lost in.
  2. Nocturnal Animals
    Ford hits it out of the park again in Nocturnal Animals, a stunning film noir that resonates with ghostly, poetic terror.
  3. Framing John DeLorean
    And while the arrest and trial take up the bulk of the film’s focus, no amount of famous folks mouthing lines can compare to the compelling, grainy black-and-white clips of the real-deal DeLorean getting busted by the feds.
  4. T2 Trainspotting
    This Trainspotting sequel may feel like that for many who raised a fist in unison with the first film's f--k-the-world defiance. There's a hard-won wisdom at work here, as well as an aching sense of loss. Any way you look at it, T2 takes a piece out of you.
  5. This Is the End
    There's no way you won't have a blast. In their directing debuts, Rogen and Goldberg come up aces, mixing hilarity and horror like pros and never letting up on the killer momentum.
  6. The Door in the Floor
    You can't shut the door on this spellbinder. It gets into your head.
  7. Mondovino
    If "Sideways" made you curious about vino, this fierce, funny and challenging doc opens up a world worth debating.
  8. Stir of Echoes
    Compared with ("The Sixth Sense"), there's no contest. Stir of Echoes has been outrun and outclassed.

  9. The Fisher King
    Restores our belief in the power of movies to transform reality, even temporarily. So what if it's not perfect? It's magic.
  10. An Ideal Husband
    What shakes the dust off this period piece is the vibrant acting.
  11. Fahrenheit 9/11
    Moore has marshaled what's on the record and off into a stinging indictment of where we're going. In a multiplex filled with Hollywood cotton candy, we need him more than ever.
  12. Blaze
    Shelton obviously wants to distill something innocent and romantic from a relationship the world saw as sleazy. A noble mission. But he's left out a few essentials — like the facts.
  13. Cuties
    It’s a portrait of girls that decries how sexuality is force-fed to them and/or viewed as the only way to foster self-esteem at far too young an age. It is the polar opposite of what it’s accused of being.
  14. Halloween
    That Green’s sequel works as well as it does — it’s still a slasher movie — is due only in part to the director and his collaborators’ copycat admiration for Carpenter’s blueprint. Mostly it’s the troubled times we live in that allows this energizing, elemental horror film to touch a raw nerve for #MeToo.
  15. Synecdoche, New York
    Philip Seymour Hoffman creates a mesmerizing portrait of the artist as a young, old and middle-aged man.
  16. Charlie Wilson's War
    Rude, crude and hilarious, whether he's hitting on Joanne or brokering the sale of Soviet weapons through Israel and Islamic Pakistan, Hoffman is the film's sparking live wire.
  17. The Little Stranger
    Kudos to Wilson (how has she not won an Emmy for her brilliant work on The Affair?), who builds what seems at first like a peripheral character into the defiant soul of the movie.
  18. The Armstrong Lie
    An idol had fallen, and Gibney and the superb director of photography Maryse Alberti were there to capture the descent, including a confessional interview in which Armstrong blames the corruption of the game far more than himself. The movie rambles at two-plus hours, but the provocation never stops.
  19. We Are Freestyle Love Supreme
    As an introduction to who these guys are, the bond they share and the legacy they contributed to, it’s a better-than-decent primer. You simply wish it didn’t feel like one long, stop-and-start mic check.
  20. The Wolf of Snow Hollow
    It’s the personal demons rather than old-fashioned monsters that get you, see, which is one of two central tenets of Cummings’ genre exercise/portrait of a fuck-up mash-up.
  21. 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.
  22. The Last Duel
    The experience is not Rashomon Redux so much as enduring a bad rash.
  23. Juliet, Naked
    Juliet, Naked is annoyingly hit and miss. But when Annie and Tucker connect with the gob-smacked Duncan, the movie substitutes the hard sell for grace notes and wins us over.
  24. Last Days
    Van Sant, following "Gerry" and the superb "Elephant," is on the same elliptical quest. His journey is labored but undeniably hypnotic.
  25. A Decade Under the Influence
    Here's a fireball documentary about the 1970s, when filmmakers were stoked by sex, drugs, rock and, oh, yeah, social conscience.
  26. Better Luck Tomorrow
    Lin is a talent to watch. There's a sting to this film that gets to you.
  27. The Business of Strangers
    A maliciously funny and keenly observant movie -- director-writer Patrick Stettner makes a potent feature debut -- that serves its humor dark and without artificial sweeteners.
  28. Young Adam
    Tepid.
  29. Finding Neverland
    Glorious entertainment.
  30. Jay Kelly
    While it has its share of highlights...there’s a lot of celebrity malaise and hot air masquerading as insight here.
