  1. Labor Day
    The pie looks delicious, but Labor Day feels stale.
  2. The Monuments Men
    Who knew? The work of the Monuments Men is fresh territory for film, and Clooney builds the story with intriguing detail and scope.
  3. Stranger by the Lake
    Like his characters, Guiraudie is walking a tightrope, finding the point where sex and death exude a similar allure. You won't be able to look away.
  4. Gimme Shelter
    Propaganda is a bitch to act. And this misguided movie leaves Hudgens buried in it.
  5. Ride Along
    A collection of moldy gags that director Tim Story tries to polish. Not with these turds, pal.
  6. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
    Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit has no personality of its own. It's a product constructed out of spare parts and assembled with computerized precision. It's hard to care when Jack turns operational and becomes a CIA robocop. The movie feels untouched by human hands.
  7. Lone Survivor
    Like the best war movies, Lone Survivor laces action with moral questions that haunt and provoke.
  8. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
    In his uniquely funny and unexpectedly tender movie, Stiller takes us on a personal journey of lingering resonance.
  9. Grudge Match
    Watching De Niro and Stallone piss all over their most iconic roles provides no pleasure. It made me feel – Sad. Sad. Sad.
  10. August: Osage County
    The acting styles of Streep and Roberts, both Golden Globe nominees, don’t exactly mesh, but they’re a hoot.
  11. The Past
    Bejo (The Artist) digs deep into the secrets and lies that have afflicted all her relationships, in a wonderfully affecting film that haunts you long after it ends.
  12. Her
    Jonze is a visionary whose lyrical, soulful meditation on relationships of the future cuts to the heart of the way we live now.
  13. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
    When is a movie fall-down funny even when some scenes fall flat on their fat ones? When it's Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
  14. The Wolf of Wall Street
    DiCaprio's swaggering, swinging-dick performance is the wildest damn thing he's ever put onscreen.
  15. Saving Mr. Banks
    A tasty swig of holiday cheer.
  16. American Hustle
    For some, the silver linings in Russell’s movies represent a failure to embrace darkness. I see them as a humanist’s act of resistance. That’s why American Hustle ranks with the year’s best movies. It gets under your skin.
  17. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
    But, oh, that dragon. I'd endure another slog through Middle-Earth just to spend more time with Smaug.
  18. Inside Llewyn Davis
    One thing's for sure about this raw provocation from the Coens: Like the music, the pain runs deep and true. You'll laugh till it hurts.
  19. Out of the Furnace
    It's the bruised history of these brothers that gives Out of the Furnace its beating heart and the power to grip you hard.
  20. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
    A long slog of a movie that insists on hitting the high spots like a Wiki page, which leaves little room to investigate the political and personal changes that altered Mandela's thoughts about violence and its uses.
  21. Frozen
    The animation is pretty, the songs are tuneful, and Josh Gad gets big laughs as Olaf, a snowman with a sun fetish. It's the holidays, people, work with it.
  22. Oldboy
    What's onscreen feels squeezed, truncated and curiously embalmed. It's got no kick to it.
  23. Homefront
    It could have been crazy-good trash.
  24. Philomena
    It's Dench, showing how faith and hellraising can reside in the same woman, who makes Philomena moving and memorable.
  25. Delivery Man
    Delivery Man is one joke stretched to the breaking point. Mine was reached.
  26. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
    Pop-culture escapism can be thrilling when dished out by experts. Katniss is a character worth a handful of sequels. And Lawrence lights up the screen. You'll follow her anywhere.
  27. Nebraska
    Just try to take your eyes off Dern. In his finest two hours onscreen, he gives a performance worth cheering. There's not an ounce of bullshit in it. Same goes for the movie.
  28. Go for Sisters
    With the help of Hamilton, Ross and Olmos, sublime actors who radiate grit and grace, Sayles has made Go for Sisters a movie that stays inside your head long after you see it. It's a keeper.
  29. The Motel Life
    Hirsch opens his heart to the role. And Dorff, matching the depth of feeling he showed in Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere," excels at digging deep into Jerry Lee's pain.
  30. The Armstrong Lie
    An idol had fallen, and Gibney and the superb director of photography Maryse Alberti were there to capture the descent, including a confessional interview in which Armstrong blames the corruption of the game far more than himself. The movie rambles at two-plus hours, but the provocation never stops.
