  1. Creative Control
    Creative Control goes its own playful, provocative way. For a film about technology's growing dehumanization, this stylized beauty is a frisky, formidable temptation.
  2. The Brothers Grimsby
    It's the strafing satire that's MIA.
  3. Eye in the Sky
    The suspense is killer as military minds in the US and the UK come together only to lock horns on a drone operation in Nairobi.
  4. 10 Cloverfield Lane
    10 Cloverfield Lane comes loaded with everything a psychological thriller needs to shatter your nerves — and then kicks it up a notch.
  5. London Has Fallen
    Make American movies great again. You can start by boycotting this one.
  6. Knight of Cups
    Must all films about alienation be themselves alienating? Take a walk on the beach and ponder that one. There's a line between artful and arty, and Malick has crossed it.
  7. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    There's a lot going on here. Maybe too much. The filmmakers can't draw coherence out of chaos. But Fey does.
  8. Zootopia
    A tour through the byways of Zootopia is a bracing blend of color and richly detailed design.
  9. Gods of Egypt
    Some movies are so effing awful they're hilarious. Gods of Egypt falls short of that lofty goal. Not because it isn’t effing awful — it so is — but because it pretends to be in on the joke.
  10. Only Yesterday (1991)
    Only Yesterday comes from a quieter, less demonstrative place. As he did in his most recent and reportedly final film, "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya," Takahata has built Only Yesterday to go gently and to last. Mission accomplished.
  11. Eddie the Eagle
    The filmmakers don't trust us to understand what Eddie is feeling about the Olympics without blaring a musical message from Hall and Oates on the soundtrack, "you make my dreams come true."
  12. Triple 9
    Triple 9 is no "Reservoir Dogs," but it is a twisty, terrific ride.
  13. Risen
    So Risen joins the swelling ranks of faith-based films that pander to audiences instead of serving them.
  14. Race
    Race is at its best when it fills in the corners of a story we only thought we knew.
  15. The Witch
    A crafty calling card brimming with beauty and terror. Eggers pulls us into the supernatural with subtle cunning and meticulous attention to detail.
  16. Tumbledown
    Following his surprisingly subtle work in "Sleeping With Other People," Sudeikis again shows real skills as an actor.
  17. How to Be Single
    Though Wilson is always reason enough to see a movie, she’s stuck here in a fluffball that plays like warmed-over subplots from "Sex and the City."
  18. Where to Invade Next
    No laugh in this doc – and there are plenty – goes out without a sting in its tail.
  19. Zoolander 2
    Zoolander 2 sweats its silly ass off to please. The results are scattershot. But when it works — oh, baby. There's a bit with Justin Bieber and a selfie that, well, no spoilers.
  20. Deadpool
    This movie's junky feel is part of its charm. Sure it goes on too long and repetition dulls its initial cleverness. Still, Deadpool is party time for action junkies and Reynolds may just have found the role that makes his career.
  21. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
    Funny? Sometimes. Scary? Almost never. PP&Z spins merrily and menacingly along for about half an hour. Bad luck that the movie's running time is 107 minutes.
  22. Hail, Caesar!
    Hail, Caesar! is basically a day in the life of this studio cop, whose job is his religion. And Brolin, in a heart-and-soul performance, takes this crazy quilt of a movie about a man surrounded by nut jobs and plays it for real. He's just tremendous.
  23. The Finest Hours
    On the waves, The Finest Hours finally finds its sea legs and delivers an old-school adventure based on a heroic deliverance that deserves its day in the sun.
  24. The 5th Wave
    Despite the strong presence of Kick-Ass star Chloe Grace Moretz as Cassie, the movie is selling the same old YA yada yada yada that made phenoms of "Twilight" and "Divergent."
  25. Ride Along 2
    It's simply a retread of the first Ride Along, a 2014 box-office hit, and proof positive that a bigger budget doesn’t buy bigger laughs.
  26. 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
    Is there an audience for this? Sadly, yes. There’s nothing wrong with a movie that cheers American heroes. But this one does so by reducing everything else to cardboard.
  27. The Lady in the Van
    Look, it's fun to watch Shepherd hate on bratty children, classical music and liberal pieties. Smith's acid tongue makes any line sound better. But the subplot about a blackmailer (Jim Broadbent) who terrorizes Shepherd in the dead of night adds nothing, least of all a purpose.
  28. 45 Years
    A mesmerizer that will creep into your dreams whether you let it or not.
  29. Anomalisa
    Filtered through Kaufman's searching mind and soulful brilliance, the result is a masterpiece.
  30. Concussion
    The film goes slack when its screws most need to tighten. Luckily, Smith — flawless in accent and commitment to Omalu's worthy cause — grips you from first to last.
