  1. Lemon
    You can accuse Lemon of a lot of things. False advertising in the title, however, is not one of them.
  2. Whose Streets?
    Whether it's the "best" documentary of 2017 is a matter of opinion. But it is assuredly the most vital.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. The Dark Tower
    This unholy mess shouldn't happen to a King, much less a paying customer.
  12. The Emoji Movie
    Before the jacked-up antics get to be too much, director Tony Leondis and co-writers Erich Siegel and Mike White get in a few satiric licks at a technology we've all come to call home.
  13. An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power
    Truth to Power sprawls when it most needs to focus, diluting the power punch of the original with too much bobbing and weaving. But it's hard to argue that the crusade isn't still vital.
  14. Atomic Blonde
    Theron, in the middle of her action-hero phase and at her "Mad Max: Fury Road" best here, just nails it.
  15. Detroit
    It's a hardcore masterpiece that digs into our violent past to hold up a dark mirror to the systemic racism that still rages in the here and now.
  16. Landline
    Landline never finds its emotional footing. Amid all the shouting – and these folks really go at it – there's a void where a soulful core should be.
  17. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
    It's as gorgeous as anything the French filmmaker has made and as empty as a Trump tweet.
  18. Dunkirk
    Dunkirk is a landmark with the resonant force of an enduring screen classic.
  19. Lady Macbeth
    Even when Oldroyd loses his directorial grip, Pugh is there to make things right. Not many young actress have that sort of power to command the screen as if by divine right. She dives deep into this terrifically twisted, erotic thriller and makes it matter.
  20. War for the Planet of the Apes
    Reeves achieves visual wonders even in the stillness before all hell breaks loose. It's what makes War for the Planet of the Apes such a unique and unforgettable experience – that, and Serkis's career-high performance. Hail Caesar, indeed.
  21. A Ghost Story
    This is a poetic and profound experiment you do not want to miss.
  22. Okja
    Yes, this far-out fable is too much in every department. But it is also the work of a visual storyteller drunk on the power of movies to stir things up ... and maybe even to heal. It's a bumpy ride, for sure, but hold on. Okja is worth it.
  23. Despicable Me 3
    Carell is the life of the party and the main reason this animated blast of slapstick silliness packs appeal beyond the PG crowd.
  24. Spider-Man: Homecoming
    News Flash: Tom Holland is the best movie Spider-Man ever. He finds the kid inside the famous red onesie and brings out the kid in even the most hardened filmgoer.
  25. Baby Driver
    Now this is what I call a summer movie. Baby Driver has it all: thrills, laughs, sex, nonstop action, a killer soundtrack, a star-making performance from Ansel Elgort and a director – Edgar Wright – who can knock the wind out of you.
  26. The Bad Batch
    Amirpour dips into an seemingly bottomless supply of signs and symbols to show us an imploding society all too recognizable as our own, and you'll marvel at hallucinatory brilliance of her images. Yet The Bad Batch never finds a way to fuse its scattered intentions into a cohesive whole.
  27. Transformers: The Last Knight
    Transformers: The Last Knight is all kinds of awful. It's also the worst of the series to date, which is saying something.
  28. The Beguiled
    Coppola is a virtuoso of image and sound. but don't mistake her delicate touch for weakness. The Beguiled is a hothouse flower of startling power and intimacy. You can't shake it.
  29. The Big Sick
    Nanjiani and his wife/co-screenwriter Emily V. Gordon carved this romantic comedy out of her personal hospital experience and their own culture-clash relationship. Their hilarious and heartfelt script has a rare authenticity that pulls you in and keeps you glued to the screen.
  30. All Eyez on Me
    Was this eventual big-screen take on Shakur going to be an epic look at a complicated legend's life and times – a Gandhi of gangsta rap iconography – or merely a slightly larger Lifetime TV movie filled with hysterics and greatest-hits moments. We now have an answer. It was not the one we wanted.
