  1. Blade Runner 2049
    For Blade Runner junkies like myself, who've mainlined five different versions of Ridley Scott's now iconic sci-fi film noir – from the release print to the Director's Cut and the Final Cut (the last two minus that voiceover Scott and Ford hated) – every minute of this mesmerizing mindbender is a visual feast to gorge on.
  2. Lucky
    No one who cares about movies and those rare actors who can elevate them into something unforgettable would dream of missing this scrappy, loving tribute to a virtuoso. Lucky may not believe in God. But what kind of fool doesn't believe in Harry Dean Stanton?
  3. Woodshock
    Woodshock is both gorgeous and pretentious in equal measures, and it's hard to reconcile the fact that you don't get one without the other – or that, coming in the shadow of another free-form swing for the fences, any rush to ding the movie for being an exercise in style over substance isn't even slightly tinged by gender.
  4. American Made
    It's all true – but so what? American Made may be fact-based but that doesn't stop it from feeling monumentally generic, like you've seen it all before (Blow, Sicario, The Infiltrator, War Dogs, TV's Narcos ... the list goes on).
  5. The LEGO Ninjago Movie
    The action and jokes pile up with exhausting repetitiveness. But Theroux and Franco make a truly hilarious team.
  6. Victoria and Abdul
    Lucky for us, Dench and Frears pick up the slack and turn slim pickings into a fun time at the movies. But Victoria & Abdul could have been oh so much more.
  7. Stronger
    Based on the bestseller by Bauman and Bret Witter and blessed with a nuanced script by John Pollono, the film makes sure that tears, when they come, are fully earned.
  8. Battle of the Sexes
    Battle of the Sexes is not an overtly political movie; it's a blast about two tennis champions going over the top to make a point.
  9. Kingsman: The Golden Circle
    True Kingsman fans will appreciate that director Matthew Vaughn reacted to digs at "The Secret Service" for being gratuitously violent, sexually adolescent and politically reactionary by laying all of it on three times thicker.
  10. American Assassin
    Gorgeously shot by Enrique Chediak, American Assassin may be too slick for its own good, but O'Brien cuts deep enough to make you root for a Rapp franchise. That's saying something.
  11. First They Killed My Father
    Clearly a passion project for Jolie. Her adopted son Maddox, 16, was born in Cambodia and served as executive producer on the film. If there is such a thing as a cinematic labor of love, this is it.
  12. Brad's Status
    Thanks to Stiller's prodigious gifts at blending comedy and drama, it's hard not to see ourselves in Brad's besieged humanity. That's the thing with Stiller and White – they make you laugh till it hurts.
  13. mother!
    Shot with a surrealist's eye for madness and destruction by the great cinematographer Matthew Libatique, Mother! always seems on the verge of exploding. Your head will feel the same way. And I mean that as a compliment.
  14. Home Again
    A patently bogus romcom in which every note rings false.
  15. It
    It works enough of the time to deliver on the promise of bad dreams.
  16. Tulip Fever
    Forget fever – this floral-scented fiasco is so lifeless you can barely feel a pulse.
  17. Gook
    Like Kathryn Bigelow's "Detroit," set half a century ago, Chon's Gook uses the past to speak to a tumultuous present. Chon has created a hardass yet hypnotically beautiful film that snarls and sparks to incite, not a fever in the blood, but an urgent conversation about what makes us human. Godspeed.
  18. Beach Rats
    British actor Harris Dickinson gives a smashing breakthrough performance in Beach Rats.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Patti Cake$
    Macdonald sells it, the predictable and the profane, as if her life depended on it.
  20. Lemon
    You can accuse Lemon of a lot of things. False advertising in the title, however, is not one of them.
  21. Whose Streets?
    Whether it's the "best" documentary of 2017 is a matter of opinion. But it is assuredly the most vital.
  22. The Hitman's Bodyguard
    Reynolds and Jackson make this summer lunacy go down easy with their banter and bullet-dodging skills. They're the only reason that The Hitman’s Bodyguard doesn't completely sink into the generic quicksand from whence it came.
  23. Logan Lucky
    It's a terrific, twisty, funny-as-hell crime flick about so-called hicks who decide that making America great again starts right at home.
  24. Ingrid Goes West
    A pitch-black comedy that dances around its central theme without ever facing it head on. But oh, the demented, delicious mischief it kicks up.
  25. Good Time
    As directed by the Safdie brothers, Josh and Benny, the movie rips through 100 minutes of screen time like Wile E. Coyote with his tail on fire. It's electrifying.
  26. The Glass Castle
    Hollywood has a knack for sanitizing books that deserve better. In the case of The Glass Castle, it's a damn shame.
  27. The Only Living Boy in New York
    Even the best actors – and this coming-of-age movie boasts a handful of them – can't fight this much tin-eared dialogue.
  28. Wind River
    Yes, his direction hits a few tonal bumps; he could have been tougher on his screenwriter on tightening the plot twists. No matter. Wind River packs an elemental power that knocks you for a loop.
  29. Columbus
    Delicate business is being transacted in Columbus, a whisper-soft debut from Kogonada that nonetheless results in something unique and unforgettable. It's pure cinema.
  30. The Dark Tower
    This unholy mess shouldn't happen to a King, much less a paying customer.
