  1. Les Cowboys
    Les Cowboys pulls in with no intention of letting you go. It's a workout worth taking.
  2. Haywire
    Haywire comes close to achieving Soderbergh's goal of creating "a Pam Grier movie made by Alfred Hitchcock."
    • 67 Metascore

    Silent Running
    A movie that has everything — if by everything you mean Bruce Dern as a long-haired homicidal intergalactic treehugger playing poker with droids, talking to bunnies, and feeling really passionately about salad.
  4. Chappaquiddick
    The film is corrosive in its take on the injustice that allowed Ted to live and prosper in a protective bubble of privilege. Clarke makes it clear that the man himself most likely felt the same way.
  5. 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.
  6. Open Range
    Open Range copies the rain and flood of the Clint Eastwood classic but can't match it for dark-night-of-the-soul brilliance.
  7. The King of Staten Island
    The result is both emotional and a comic knockout.
  8. The Ides of March
    A big, bruisingly funny moral fable etched in acid and Obama disillusion.
  9. Shortcomings
    How much self-inquiry Park himself has put into Shortcomings is pure speculation, but you can’t deny he’s put his soul into bringing his vision of a movie that explores everyday identity politics — but isn’t just about identity politics — to life.
  10. Guinevere
    Offers something magical in the haunting and hypnotic performance of Sarah Polley...(the film) cuts deep.

  11. Tesla
    A striking film that frustratingly never coheres but still holds you in thrall.
  12. Enemy of the State
    Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott have wisely set their course by Will Smith, who is sensational in a dramatic role that leans on him to carry a movie without the help of aliens or Big Willie-style jokes for every occasion.
  13. The Great Hack
    You know you’re in the hands of professionals here — Noujaim was a director or co-director on such solid nonfiction works as "Startup.com" (2001), "Control Room" (2004), and "The Square" (2013) — even if the proceedings sometimes come off like Muckraking Moviemaking 101.
  14. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
    A dynamite bundle from British writer-director Guy Ritchie. Even when the accents are as indecipherable as the plot, Ritchie keeps the action percolating and the humor on high.
  15. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
    Perks deserves points for going beyond the typical coming-of-age drivel aimed at teens.
  16. The Sapphires
    You could call it an Aussie "Dreamgirls." I'd call it a blast of joy and music that struts right into your heart.
  17. Garden State
    It's a hilarious and heartfelt ode to twentysomething angst. Braff has himself a winner.
  18. Long Shot
    The result is a gleefully retro and raunchy funfest that walks a minefield of sexist traps it can’t always dodge. That the rom and the com both land is a tribute to Theron and Rogen.
  19. 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.
  20. Freaky
    It’s a clever mash-up conceit that director/co-writer Christopher Landon and his cast milk for all its worth, none more so than the two leads.
  21. Furious 7
    Furious 7 is the best F&F by far, two hours of pure pow fueled by dedication and passionate heart.
  22. Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood
    A sexual-revolution pioneer, a “gay renegade” who was also “pre-gay,” a cultural saboteur, a sad old man in denial — we get a lot of opaque Scottys, all semi-attached to an alternate “history” that feels maddeningly incomplete and barely surface-scratched.
  23. Private Parts
    What can I tell you? It works. Private Parts is a comic firecracker with a surprising human touch.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Patti Cake$
    Macdonald sells it, the predictable and the profane, as if her life depended on it.
  25. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
    Hanging with Quill and his mercenary space misfits is still everything you'd want in a wild summer ride.
  26. The Life of Chuck
    Hiddleston’s soft shoe gives you a glimpse of how the ordinary can become extraordinary. The movie surrounding it, however, seems determined to make the extraordinary seem as bumper-sticker simple and banal as humanly possible.
  27. Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot
    Joaquin Phoenix and director Gus Van Sant raise the bar when they use roguish humor and bruising pain to color outside the box.
  28. Reality Bites
    By spinning something fresh out of something familiar, Reality Bites scores the first comedy knockout of the new year. It also brings out the vibrant best in Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke as friends who resist being lovers, makes a star of Janeane Garofalo as their tart-tongued buddy and puts Ben Stiller on the map as a director.
  29. Rosewater
    Kudos to Stewart for making Rosewater more than an earnest plea for journalistic freedom. He makes it personal.
  30. Stranger Than Fiction
    This is a Ferrell you've never seen before, nailing a role that calls for breakneck humor in the final race against the clock and touching gravity in the love scenes with Gyllenhaal.
