  1. Pieces of April
    Holmes nails every laugh without missing the dramatic nuances. She makes April and her movie well worth knowing.
  2. Bronson
    This movie and Hardy's electrifying performance will knock you for a loop.
  3. Palindromes
    Solondz likes to put the screws to moral hypocrisy. As always, he goes too far. As always, you don't want to look away.
  4. Truth
    Blanchett burns on a high flame, and Redford finds the wounded dignity in Rather.
  5. Kong: Skull Island
    The dialogue is clunky, the A-list actors are slumming and, yeah, you've seen it all before. But Kong: Skull Island is a creature feature that's damn near irresistible.
  6. Antz
    Refreshingly naughty and nice.
  7. The Sea Inside
    The film, quite rightly, is a tour de force for Bardem.
  8. Walking Out
    If their contribution to the man-vs-nature genre isn't exactly top-tier, Walking Out still hits its marks in terms of father-son melodrama with an uncanny precision.
  9. American Hardcore
    Messed up as it is, you can't tear your eyes away from this explosion of brutal sounds and images.
  10. 300
    300 is a movie blood-drunk on its own artful excess. Guys of all ages and sexes won't be able to resist it.
  11. Avengers: Infinity War
    Avengers: Infinity War leaves viewers up in the air, feeling exhilarated and cheated at the same time, aching for a closure that never comes ... at least not yet.
  12. The Descent
    Prepare to be scared senseless, and then, when you think you have it figured, your certainty will be shaken by scenes built to scare you even more.
  13. The Boys Are Back
    Owen, in a heartfelt, award-caliber performance, never goes soft. It's his core of toughness that makes the movie so funny, touching and vital.
  14. Dark Water
    In a movie with more subtext than "Rosemary's Baby," nearly everyone, including Tim Roth as Dahlia's lawyer, harbors secrets. Salles unleashes a torrent of suspense for one purpose: to plumb the violence of the mind.
  15. Bad News Bears
    The mischief Thornton does make adds up to wild, rowdy fun.
  16. The Poseidon Adventure
    The effects here run the gamut from grandiose to goofy, but watch the upside-down ballroom sequence again. It's a set piece of pure destructive bliss, set to a symphony of screaming and breaking glass. Awesome.
  17. Lucky Them
    Haden Church gives the movie the joyous kick it needs. His flirty thrust-and-parry with Collette is beautifully played.
  18. Wordplay
    There's more palm-sweating suspense in one minute of this baby than in all of "The Omen."
  19. Airheads
    You won't feel too much like a jerk watching this rock & roll hostage comedy. There are laugh licks and spirited performances. It's fluff done with flair
  20. Blockers
    Don't get me wrong – the movie lays on the raunch, and there are more gut-busting laughs than you can count. But no one gets objectified or patronized.
  21. Narc
    A no-bull throwback to 1970s action films. It zips along with B-movie verve while adding the rich details and go-for-broke acting that heralds something special.
  22. Testament of Youth
    Harington and Vikander provide the spark the film needs to get us through the tribulations and tragedies that pile on with numbing regularity. You leave Testament of Youth feeling some of the impact that Brittain’s book must have had at the time.
  23. Die Hard: With a Vengeance
    It's a tense, terrifically funny action dazzler with a wow level in special effects that will be hard to top.
  24. Phoebe in Wonderland
    Let Clarkson and Fanning take you to the rabbit hole of seductive enchantment that defines this movie. And don't ask what to do -- jump.
  25. Gemini
    It may feel insubstantial at times, but somewhere out there, there's a twin of this film that lays on the L.A. Self-Owns Itself mojo in thick clumps. Gemini is the good-sibling version. It's worth a whirl.
  26. Nine
    Rob Marshall's flawed but frequently dazzling Nine is a hot-blooded musical fantasia full of song, dance, raging emotion and simmering sexuality.
  27. Filth
    Even when the film falls to pieces, McAvoy's bonkers brilliance will blow you away.
  28. The Killer Inside Me
    The movie does Thompson proud. It's a scorcher.
  29. Paris Can Wait
    If you’re longing for a delicious romantic romp to take your mind off the world going to hell in hand basket, Paris Can Wait is it.
  30. All or Nothing
    Leigh isn't breaking new ground, but he knows how a daily grind can kill love. Strong stuff.
