  1. Song to Song
    This movie hits all the wrong notes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Personal Shopper
    It's pure cinema, a hypnotic and haunting dream that tempts us to jump in and get lost. Do it.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Get Out
    A jolt-a-minute horroshow laced with racial tension and stinging satirical wit.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. A United Kingdom
    It's a tender love story that never goes soft on its provocations. It's a defiant cry from the heart.
  20. John Wick: Chapter 2
    Remember how the original John Wick snuck up and wowed us in 2014? Now he's back and better than ever. John Wick: Chapter 2 is the real deal in action-movie fireworks – it's pure cinema, an adrenaline rocket of image and sound that explodes on contact.
  21. The LEGO Batman Movie
    Don't obsess over the rough edges. The Lego Batman Movie rises on its own goofball spirits. Wanna get nuts and shake your sillies out? This is the place to do it.
  22. Rings
    If crap movies carried penalties for inflicting torture on audiences, then Rings would merit a death sentence.
  23. War on Everyone
    For some folks, such retrograde pleasures have lost their bloody-knuckled charm. If this is still your bag all these years later and you wish the 1990s had never ended, however, then everyone wins.
  24. I Am Not Your Negro
    It's unmissable and unforgettable.
  25. The Salesman
    A dazzling, darkly funny, quietly devastating human drama from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
  26. A Dog's Purpose
    A manipulative script about dog reincarnation that whacks your emotions like a piñata – that's forgivable. Not this. It shouldn't happen to a dog.
  27. Gold
    As a movie, Gold is slim pickings. But McConaughey keeps you riveted.
  28. xXx: Return of Xander Cage
    Diesel has chosen to keep selling stupid to audiences who are inexplicably eager to gobble it up. Damn shame.
  29. The Founder
    Like Apple founder Steve Jobs, Kroc – who died in 1984 – had a genius for marketing the talent of others. Is that a lesser gift? Not in these United States. Not then. And not in the age of Trump. Set more than a half century ago, The Founder proves to be a movie for a divisive here and now. Step right up. You might just learn something. God help us.
  30. Split
    This might have degenerated into a cheap gimmick if not for the way Shyamalan lets us inside the childhood trauma that pushed his tormentor into multiple personalities.
