  1. Rough Night
    The women in Rough Night are terrific company. They never wear out their welcome. You can't say the same for the movie.
  2. Cars 3
    The result is inspiring, which isn't something you associate with this series.
  3. The Hero
    It's not perfect, but it is a gift to Sam Elliott – and to us.
  4. Beatriz at Dinner
    The funny, touching and vital Beatriz at Dinner probably tackles way more than it can handle, but so what? Godspeed. You won't know what hit you.
  5. Megan Leavey
    Mara is funny, fierce and altogether wonderful, even up against an irresistible costar.
  6. It Comes at Night
    You want horror that screws with your head? This is your ticket.
  7. My Cousin Rachel
    Credit Rachel Weisz, who's just the dynamite actress needed to play a character who could be a misunderstood innocent or a fortune-hunting seductress who could be a cold-blooded killer. How delicious to watch the star keep us guessing.
  8. The Mummy
    It's a monster fail.
  9. Dean
    Martin excels in the title role.
  10. Churchill
    You can certainly argue just how speculative this film version of Churchill is as history. But Cox's performance cannot be faulted. It's a master class in acting.
  11. Wonder Woman
    The star is unstoppable and spectacular to see in motion. Watch her fly.
  12. War Machine
    The too-blunt comedy defangs the film. As does the irritating voiceover from the Rolling Stone reporter, played Scoot McNary, which breaks a cardinal rule of filmmaking: show, don't tell.
  13. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
    Bloated, boring, repetitive, draining.
  14. Baywatch
    No cliché is left unturned, and Gordon compensates with slick action.
  15. Paint It Black
    It's impossible to quantify what it takes to be a quality director – but damn, you know it when you see it. And you'll see it clear and strong in Paint It Black, a staggeringly impressive feature directing debut for actress Amber Tamblyn.
  16. Wakefield
    The role is a beast, and Cranston, in a tour de force of touching gravity and aching humanism, gives it everything he's got. It's astounding to watch, and an award-caliber performance from an actor who keeps springing surprises.
  17. Alien: Covenant
    It's true that the film is covering old ground – the shocking originality of the first Alien is a one-time thing. No worries. I'd rank Alien: Covenant with the best of the series, right after the first two chapters. Fans are going to freak out. Join in.
  18. Snatched
    The pleasures here come almost exclusively from Schumer and Hawn playing off each other like the rock stars of comedy they are.
  19. 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.
  20. Manifesto
    That's what Blanchett is doing here. She adds a human element. She can turn anything into art. Even artistic navel-gazing.
  21. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
    An epic bore that believes if you make a movie long and loud and repetitive enough, audiences will conclude it's saying something profound. Wrong.
  22. The Lovers
    A meandering but altogether mesmerizing film from writer-director Azazel Jacobs that finds buoyant comedy and touching gravity in the ashes of a relationship.
  23. The Dinner
    There are bumps along the way, transitions from one medium to another will do that, but this filmmaker and his fierce foursome won't be done till they take a piece out of you. It's a gripping psychological thriller with a sting in its tail.
  24. 3 Generations
    How do you screw this up? You've got three leading actresses – Susan Sarandon, Naomi Watts and Elle Fanning – who are usually worth watching in anything. But 3 Generations is pushing it. Even nurturing talent can't breathe life into a script that is completely D.O.A.
  25. The Circle
    It's a paranoid thriller without suspense, urgency or a single new thing to say.
  26. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
    Hanging with Quill and his mercenary space misfits is still everything you'd want in a wild summer ride.
  27. Free Fire
    Free Fire may suggest Wheatley is deservedly moving up the industry food chain – it's executive-produced by Martin Scorsese – but it also merely a formal exercise, albeit one buoyed by the sense that the director is having the time of his life behind the camera.
  28. Unforgettable
    Unforgettable is definitely the wrong title for a movie you want to erase from your memory the second it ends.
  29. The Promise
    The actors do what they can to keep their heads above the sudsy script. No go. It’s distressing to see a great subject go wrong in the right hands.
  30. A Quiet Passion
    Cynthia Nixon is simply magnificent as Dickinson, finding the sharp wit and searching mind of a woman out of step with the codes and formalities of her time.
