  1. The Instigators
    If nothing else, Damon and Affleck’s Beacon Street Wild Ride reminds you that movie stars plus car crashes, divided by gunshots and laughs, was part of a regular, balanced American-cinema breakfast.
  2. Dragged Across Concrete
    Dragged Across Concrete is apt to send crime-film fanatics, especially ones who prefer their pulp nasty, brutish and incredibly long, into frothing fits of glee. For other folks, the title will double as an apt description experience of watching it.
  3. Catherine Called Birdy
    So much of what makes Catherine Called Birdy sing comes down to Dunham and Ramsey working in conjunction to give you a portrait of a 13th-century teenager woman that feels thoroughly modern without being winky-nudgey, spiky and tender, oddly family-friendly while still being defiant.
  4. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
    The promise of Shang-Chi, which is as much martial-arts movie as it is standard superhero origin fare, is that a lot of people will get their asses kicked: sometimes gracefully, even beautifully, and other times with the battering-ram power you can expect of a movie advertising 10 rings at play.
  5. Sasquatch Sunset
    It works far better as a free-floating vibe than a movie, which can be read as a backhanded compliment or a sign of surrender.
  6. Everybody's Everything
    Yes, it’s grim and gloomy — and like Lil Peep’s music, there’s also a sense of catharsis in all of this. More than anything, Jones and Silyan seem to be fashioning a postmortem that plays like his greatest hits, in which wounded wooziness somehow gives way to exhilaration and a warped sense of uplift.
  7. The Last Voyage of the Demeter
    The Last Voyage of the Demeter is a threadbare high-concept story given the high-thread-count treatment — a lovely piece of luxury pulp. It’s also the creepiest and classiest bit of late-summer counterprogramming you’re likely to find, which may say more about our current landscape of cinematic pleasures than the movie itself.
  8. Mandy
    It’s the sort of movie that likes its volume dial to be permanently stuck at 11, its references to be hidden in plain sight and/or deafeningly trumpeted and its freak flag flying very, very high.
  9. The Bride!
    You can’t say that Gyllenhaal hasn’t gone for broke with The Bride!, and the more you watch the actors give life to the central idea of a meeting of scarred bodies and equal minds, the more you feel like you’re watching something not just perversely over-the-top but personal.
  10. Blue Beetle
    What Soto and company have done with the saga of Jaime Reyes, however, suggests a formula that may save this whole genre from simply going down, down, and away
  11. Emily
    Frances O’Connor’s Emily, her directorial debut, takes a familiar literary biography and garnishes it with the right kind of creative liberties — the vibrant, suggestive kind.
  12. The Burial
    The movie may ping between social drama and IRL courtroom saga. Whenever Foxx struts and frets — and bellows, coos, rages, and waltzes — his two hours upon this stage, you realize that it may simply work best as a star vehicle.
  13. Girls State
    Like the young women who we spend nearly two hours with, we also emerge feeling both tinges of empowerment and a palpable sense of deflation.
  14. Yesterday
    Yesterday has its heart firmly in the right place. It’s the challenge to take it to the next level that’s missing.
  15. The Kingmaker
    It’s a documentary that starts as a nonfiction portrait and ends as a horror movie.
  16. Bring Her Back
    The filmmakers want to jolt folks, for sure. But they also want to bring you to a place where the emotional after effects of that juddering linger long after the jump scares have faded away.
  17. Everything Everywhere All at Once
    It’s comically postmodern to the point of feeling almost retro, which also describes Everything Everywhere’s sense of action, its enriched sense of comedy colliding violence, practical materials (like fanny packs) taking their ranks amid the physically superhuman feats of choreography — a mix many of us rightly associate with Jackie Chan.
  18. Anna and the Apocalypse
    In short, this is a genre mash-up has no agenda except providing escapist fun. Mission accomplished.
  19. Welcome to Chechnya
    Welcome to Chechnya is a horror movie, but it’s also a collective profile in courage. You can’t say that “such people” are not here. They are, and they’re not just heroes, the movie suggests. They’re the last thing standing between survival and a purge.
  20. A Knight's Tale
    It's a dumb summer movie done with smarts.
  21. The Velvet Underground
    The movie makes you wish you were there. Lights darkened, dots and rays and Reed flickering before us, we nearly are.
  22. The Importance of Being Earnest
    Everett, whose scenes with Firth are a droll delight, nails every sly laugh. And Witherspoon adds her own legally blond American sparkle to this British party.
  23. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
    It’s not exactly the second coming of Walk Hard, though it’s the best Weird Al movie since UHF [cue laugh track and maybe a Whoppee Cushion sound effect] — and like Al himself, it still hits each beat with an infectiously goofy exuberance.
  24. Ticket to Paradise
    While no one could accuse Ticket to Paradise of being a “great” movie, or even a “very good” one, there’s something about watching Clooney and Roberts butt up against each other in front of a screen-saver background that scratches a long-dormant itch.
  25. One Night in Miami
    One Night in Miami is an act of imagination. It does not reinvent the wheel. It polishes and clarifies the spokes — all while moving and entertaining us in the process.
  26. Elizabeth
    The film belongs to Blanchett -- this hellcat Virgin Queen is something to see.
  27. Creem: America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine
    Mostly, it’s a testament to a storied legacy that may be gone, but deserves never to be forgotten.
  28. Green Zone
    Miller's wake-up call is meant to be ours. Too little and too late? Maybe. But even in this Bourne Zone, Damon and Greengrass haven't shirked their duty to enlighten and entertain.
  29. Evening
    Susan Minot’s resplendent novel of a dying woman…stumbles on its way to the screen.
  30. Bachelorette
    Headland can write zingers that would make the cruelest bridezilla blush. And Caplan's treatise on the art of the blow job is time-capsule worthy. Sadly, Bachelorette is a comic cocktail that goes heavy on the bitters. That's no way to end a wedding.
