  1. Cairo Time
    It's a haunting and hypnotic film.
  2. Damsels in Distress
    Welcome Damsels in Distress, an exhilarating gift of a comedy about college, the female intellect, the limitless male ego, inventing a new dance, and suicide prevention.
  3. Selena
    Missing is a sense of the interior life behind the smiling face that Selena showed the world.
  4. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
    Mission: Impossible — Final Reckoning feels like a conclusion to 30 years worth of proving that yes, you still can conjure up a certain vintage strain of Hollywood magic. It also feels like the end of an era.
  5. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
    The movie isn’t always on such sure footing. But that’s almost appropriate: a messier movie trying to reckon with a messier range of feelings.
  6. Nowhere Boy
    Johnson doesn't resemble, much less embody, Lennon, but he does catch his distinctive glint of mischief tinged with pain. Duff and Scott Thomas are both exceptional, revealing how John's relationship with these two clashing sisters marked his character.
  7. The Darjeeling Limited
    All the acting is exemplary. Brody, new to Wes' World, is revelatory as Peter.

    Ronin
    Ronin represents an exhilarating return to form for Frankenheimer.
  9. Barney's Version
    Rosamund Pike is perfection as Barney's true love, and Dustin Hoffman makes magic as Barney's randy dad. It's acting heaven.
  10. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
    Clooney fashions a style all his own: visceral, vital and churning with off-the-wall ideas. That's what makes you want to see Clooney direct again. You can feel his joy in it.
  11. The Russia House
    At its best, The Russia House offers a rare and enthralling spectacle: the resurrection of buried hopes.
  12. Solaris
    Clooney brings raw intensity to his role; his scenes with McElhone are rooted in a fierce romantic yearning.
  13. Run
    Forget the title; the film barely works itself up into a half-hearted trot. It isn’t even howl-worthy in its campiness or badness, with one notable exception.
  14. Rudo y Cursi
    Luna and García Bernal display the kind of chemistry that makes you overlook the clichés in the script by first-time director Carlos Cuarón. Sometimes good-natured fun is enough.
  15. Trust
    Within its small, darkly funny range, Trust is an exceptional film that stays alert to the mysteries of love.
  16. Fight Club
    Pulls you in, challenges your prejudices, rocks your world and leaves you laughing in the face of an abyss. It's alive, all right. It's also an uncompromising American classic.

  17. The Final Year
    What chills most about The Final Year is how unprepared Team Obama was for the victory of Trump and the ease with which many of its hard-won policies could be unraveled. Was it blindness, hubris or a combination of both?
  18. This Is It
    Watching his struggle is illuminating, unnerving and unforgettable.
  19. Somewhere
    As in "Lost in Translation," Coppola keeps an eye out for the broken places. That's when Somewhere is really something.
  20. Smile 2
    What this sequel really seems to be suggesting is that there is nothing scarier than an unstable pop star in 2024, poised on the edge of a public meltdown captured by a million cellphones and consumed by scandal-hungry social-media addicts. When it comes to possessing your soul, a supernatural demon can’t hold a candle to show business.
  21. Frequency
    The time shifting raises questions the movie never answers, but it's hard not to enjoy the ride.
    • Rolling Stone
  22. Barbershop: The Next Cut
    Barbershop: The Next Cut is stagey, often simplistic and it talks too damn much. But, hell, the talk has flavor and snap and a real-world sense of a community in crisis. Not bad for an escapist romp.
  23. The Contestant
    A chronicle of a media phenomenon, a reality-TV landmark and a psychological nightmare packaged as entertainment, The Contestant is the type of documentary where you’re aware that what you’re witnessing is 100-percent true, and you still can’t quite wrap your brain around what you’re seeing.
  24. The Unbelievable Truth
    Hartley's debut deserves heralding; he combines a rigorous social conscience with the exuberance of fresh comic thinking.
  25. Cinderella
    Count Cinderella as a dazzling dream of a movie from director Kenneth Branagh, who can leap from the Bard (Henry V) to the boffo (Thor) with no apparent sweat.
  26. Alice
    Alice may be a minor work in the Allen canon, but when its grace notes manage to be heard above the whimsy, they ring true.
  27. Mr. Holmes
    Don't think you can take another Hollywood version of Sherlock Holmes? Snap out of it. Apologies to Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch, but what Ian McKellen does with Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective in Mr. Holmes is nothing short of magnificent.
  28. Ruby Sparks
    The result is something you won't see coming. Don't look for sweet and embraceable. This movie is not afraid to show its claws. Like the spirited teamwork of Kazan and Dano, Ruby Sparks is honest, deep and true.
  29. Rock School
    You cheered Jack Black in "School of Rock," now give it up for Paul Green in the real thing.
  30. A Simple Favor
    Until an ending that flies ruinously off the rails, A Simple Favor is raunchy fun that offers an unexpected take on the twists and turns of female friendship.
