  1. 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.
  2. Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer
    A spellbinder that features Richard Gere in one of his best performances ever.
  3. The Fate of the Furious
    The Fate of the Furious doesn't have a thought in its head to match the best of Bond and Bourne. What it is, in every sense of the term, is insanely entertaining.
  4. The Lost City of Z
    Hunnam is slow to grab us as Fawcett, but the implosive force of his performance soon takes hold.
  5. Going in Style
    There are times when Braff and Melfi hint at the darkness of a world that ignores seniors by making them invisible. But this new version of Going in Style sells uplift so hard it loses touch with reality – and any genuine reason for being.
  6. Colossal
    Damned if this wildly witty and surprisingly touching swing at movie madness and gender politics isn't on to something deep.
  7. Graduation
    Graduation, isn't quite on the landmark level of his searing 2007 abortion drama "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days," but this gripping film still sizzles with Mungiu's social-realist concern for people who believe they can't raise their position based on merit alone. In that sense, the filmmaker is working on a universal level.
  8. The Zookeeper's Wife
    What makes the film worthwhile, despite its flaws, are those scenes of human and animal desperation that encapsulate the horrors of war.
  9. The Boss Baby
    Alas, this isn't the Trump-trolling toon you're looking for. People may search for protest art hidden among the potty jokes, but the closest they're going to get to a subtextual statement is the Beatles' "Blackbird" on the soundtrack – and that's been repurposed as a lullaby.
  10. Life
    Let's hope that Ridley Scott follows his own blueprint better in the upcoming "Alien: Covenant." The dull and derivative Life is no competition. It's DOA.
  11. Wilson
    Missed opportunities hobble the film as a whole, but Harrelson is in there pitching his best game. That alone is a sight to see.
  12. Song to Song
    This movie hits all the wrong notes.
  13. Beauty and the Beast
    It looks the same, moves the same and sounds the same (those Alan Menken songs!) as the original. But some of the magic has gone M.I.A.
  14. Frantz
    The filmmaker is walking a creative tightrope. How do you resist that? My advice is: don't. There are a few fits and starts, and a palette switch from black-and-white to color. But Ozon is onto something about nationalism, borders and a hatred of the other that's as timely as Trump.
  15. Raw
    If "Get Out" reminds folks that you can smuggle intelligent social commentary and timely conversation-starters in to theaters via explosive genre packages, then Ducournau's feature debut doubles down on the notion. In terms of the female-body politic, it's an art-horror dirty bomb.
  16. T2 Trainspotting
    This Trainspotting sequel may feel like that for many who raised a fist in unison with the first film's f--k-the-world defiance. There's a hard-won wisdom at work here, as well as an aching sense of loss. Any way you look at it, T2 takes a piece out of you.
  17. Personal Shopper
    It's pure cinema, a hypnotic and haunting dream that tempts us to jump in and get lost. Do it.
  18. 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.
  19. Table 19
    A tonally uneven mishmash of Wes Anderson quirk, John Cassavetes guts-spilling and The Breakfast Club, all of which somehow manages to dampen the talents of its crack ensemble cast.
  20. Before I Fall
    It would be easy to write off Before I Fall as the Groundhog Day of teen weepies – but something raw keeps breaking through the formula to pull us in.
  21. Contemporary Color
    This may be one of the few rockumentaries since Stop Making Sense to tap the cinematic potential of sound and vision in a way that feels genuinely collaborative and borderline transcendental.
  22. Logan
    If Jackman and Stewart are serious about this being their mutual X-Men swan song, they could not have crafted a more heartfelt valedictory.
  23. My Life as a Zucchini
    What's lucky is that no matter what language it's in, My Life as Zucchini never sacrifices what’s true for what’s trite and easier to sell. This is animation as an art form, inspiring and indelible.
  24. Get Out
    A jolt-a-minute horroshow laced with racial tension and stinging satirical wit.
  25. Fist Fight
    Charlie Day owns one of the highest-pitched male squeaks in the business and he puts it to hilarious use on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I could watch him in anything – but Fist Fight is pushing it, given that's it's always raining a storm of comic clichés that quickly drowns any semblance of audience goodwill.
  26. The Great Wall
    It plays like like a video game in which the goal is to kill as many of these green-blooded monsters as you can before time's up. It's fun for about 10 minutes, and then the tedium seeps in.
  27. A Cure for Wellness
    This is not so much a horror movie as a lookbook for one – an assemblage of scary-flick odds and ends slotted next to each other with the thinnest of connective tissue.
  28. The Space Between Us
    While director Peter Chelsom (Funny Bones, Serendipity) can functionally guide his cast through their derring-do and dewy-eyed paces, neither he nor screenwriter Allan Loeb can steer the whole endeavor out of Clichéville U.S.A.
  29. Fifty Shades Darker
    This, however, is not Mamet – it's a beast of roaring stupidity that devours everything in its path, including the veteran filmmaker.
  30. A United Kingdom
    It's a tender love story that never goes soft on its provocations. It's a defiant cry from the heart.
