  1. Weapons
    There's a madcap, kinetic energy to Weapons that is wonderfully displayed in the preponderance of chase scenes in Weapons. We go under table legs and through shared bathrooms. It's like we're kids playing tag, and you don't want to be "it".
  2. Freakier Friday
    The jokes fly and mostly land, though that's largely thanks to the skill of the cast.

    To Kill a Wolf
    With stunning performances and a stirring narrative, I found every departure this movie made from its inspiration completely worthwhile.
  4. The Sparrow in the Chimney
    While the story leaves something to be desired, The Sparrow in the Chimney is a memorable family drama with plenty of layered symbolism that will keep you thinking long after the credits have rolled.
  5. My Oxford Year
    Even with a literary atmosphere and a steamy romance, the fact that My Oxford Year blatantly feels comfortable exploding emotional minefields for narratively unclear reasons clouds its potential success as a basic but inoffensive rom-com.
  6. She Rides Shotgun
    She Rides Shotgun packs a punch — or, to use one of Nate's lessons for Polly, hits you like a baseball bat to the back of the head. The subplot with the local gang may be forgettable, but the father-daughter relationship will stick with you for a long time.
  7. The Naked Gun
    The Naked Gun makes up for its lack of story with a complete commitment to the bit and uproarious performance from Liam Neeson and the cast.
  8. Osiris
    What's even more impressive about Osiris are its visual effects, which rival even those of some of the big-budget studio movies.
  9. Magnetosphere
    Thanks to its matured presentation mixed with comedic elements and important lessons, Magnetosphere crafts a perfect coming-of-age tale about the difficulties of entering one's teenage years.
  10. Happy Gilmore 2
    The film has some elements that work, but not enough to overcome its gratuitous cameos, its need to be bigger, or its wasted nostalgia and bloated runtime. Unfortunately, our lovable golfer may have been better off staying in retirement.
  11. Ick
    With a great cast, excellent visual effects, and perfectly edited and executed scenes and transitions, there is a lot to love.
  12. Four Letters of Love
    While it can be profoundly moving to follow the story of people's small but important everyday lives, the film loses both the audience and its momentum by the final act when things should be heating up the most.
  13. Oh, Hi!
    Gordon and Lerman are both in great form, going a long way in carrying the somewhat problematic premise.
  14. The Fantastic Four: First Steps
    The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the MCU getting back to basics - a solid superhero movie, grounded in heart, but with little flashiness.
  15. Bury Me When I'm Dead
    With constant changes that still feel consistent and a dread that keeps growing with every minute, this psychological thriller is a perfect encapsulation of how well multiple genres can weave into each other.
  16. Finally Dawn
    Finally Dawn brings together a wonderful cast, a compelling story, and stunning artistry to create something magical.
  17. Saint Clare
    Even while Thorne's performance proves effective enough to keep us attached to her story, the rest of Saint Clare's cast fails to attain the same feat.
  18. Unicorns
    Unicorns is fascinating for such a simple movie, largely due to the testaments of a struggling single parent trying to make ends meet, as well as the references to the sometimes harrowing experiences of being queer and South Asian, all set against the backdrop of a casually evolving romance that feels so very real.
  19. The Banished
    While she may not have been given the best material to work with, Meg Clarke proves to be one of the few bright points in The Banished as Grace.

    JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie
    Even if it admittedly does not include much that has not already been shown, the emotional experience of seeing this pivotal arc of the manga come to life onscreen and the original scenes that are new more than make up for that shortcoming.
  21. I Know What You Did Last Summer
    I Know What You Did Last Summer isn't the worst long-awaited horror sequel ever put to screen, but it doesn't try to be anything but a shallow reflection of its predecessor.
  22. Smurfs
    The script has its moments, and I chuckled a bit at a few points. But what the film lacks is genuine heart and warmth.
  23. Off the Grid
    It's not particularly memorable or an all-time great action story, but it's decent, and the quality is there. Off the Grid is an overall satisfying action movie as long as you're willing to look past the bare-bones plot.
  24. Tim Travers & the Time Travelers Paradox
    All in all, Tim Travers & the Time Traveler's Paradox is a stunning piece of work that is incredibly creative, creating something unique and delightful.
  25. Almost Cops
    It's kind of disappointing just how in the middle Almost Cops is when it comes to how safe it plays, even with its mature rating.
  26. Tornado
    The film does a serviceable job of creating a revenge story, but leaves some meat on the bone in terms of narrative and visuals. Scenes come to a standstill and make a very short movie drag in places it shouldn’t. That being said, the final showdown makes it all worth it.
  27. Ice Road: Vengeance
    Ice Road: Vengeance is an overall excellent action film, with all the qualities of a Hollywood blockbuster.

    Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado
    For families and kids who don't mind watching a predictable formula being followed mostly adequately (which is a pleasure in and of itself, if the genre suits you), they could do much worse than Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado.

    Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires
    I recognize that saying Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires is good at what it's doing hardly counts as a complaint. I would just personally prefer boldly uneven to generically good any day.
  30. Nuked
    It may not be the most original, but it still proves to be a funny enough endeavor.
  31. Ziam
    Delivering the blood, gore, and guts you would expect from the classics of the genre, Ziam has no intention of reinventing anything, unabashedly leaning into the tropes of these stories that audiences know well.
  32. Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story
    Abraham’s Boys wants to drive home a message about violent legacies and the never-ending cycle of generational trauma, but the payoff feels incongruous with the setup, the final kill feels unearned, and the B-movie execution makes it unintentionally funny.
  33. Brick
    Brick is still a gripping thriller. It's well-made, but there is something lacking overall that could have been made better by diving deeper into the relationships of the central characters.
  34. Sovereign
    The movie's memorable moments and tackling of a sensitive, real-world subject were expertly done, something that makes it stand out from other true story films that have been released in recent years.
  35. Push
    It's elevated by a captivating lead performance from Sanz, whose terror when events start ramping up feels very realistic.
  36. Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight
    The movie is Davidtz's feature debut. What she crafts is something imperfect, but as nuanced as a discussion of this topic from the white perspective can be.
  37. To a Land Unknown
    It is focused on its small-scale story about the main characters who are burdened by pain and dead-ends, but carefully works in the broader injustices it wants the audience to see.

    Hot Spring Shark Attack
    The movie's boldness helps craft an entertaining ride that is incredibly zany. Is this among the best shark movies? Absolutely not. But by the time Hot Spring Shark Attack was over, I couldn't help but smile.
  39. Before We Forget
    Before We Forget (originally titled Duino) is a refreshingly intimate film and a classic gay yearning story. It has some twists that subvert genre expectations for an even more staggering emotional effect.
  40. Daniela Forever
    Because of some questionable decisions, the film's key messages aren’t as effective as they could be.
  41. Superman
    James Gunn's Superman movie launches the DC Universe in spectacular fashion, with a fun-filled romp that requires refreshingly little homework.
  42. The Old Guard 2
    The Old Guard 2 is a film that feels longer than it should be and not long enough. It strikes an odd balance, but there’s luckily more here that works than doesn’t, even if the plot is thin.
  43. Jurassic World Rebirth
    Going back to basics was the best thing it could have done. With a straightforward narrative and characters we care about who don't overcomplicate the plot, the film crafts something more timeless.
  44. Ponyboi
    It doesn't reinvent the wheel, and it shouldn't have to. What it does prove is that queer stories, more often than not, add new layers to narratives that have been done before.
  45. Heads of State
    Without Cena and Elba’s committed and charming performances, as well as great supporting turns from Considine and Carla Gugino as Vice President Elizabeth Kirk, Heads of State wouldn’t be worth discussing
  46. Sorry, Baby
    Sorry, Baby is the kind of movie that will linger and stick with you. It is far more than a story about trauma; it's also about friendship and growing up, concepts that will feel deeply relatable to anyone.
  47. M3GAN 2.0
    M3GAN 2.0 doesn't lose this completely, but the more polished and grown-up world doesn't fit as easily into the silly sense of humor that made M3GAN so popular.
  48. Familiar Touch
    It's carefully crafted and spectacularly emotional.
  49. Don't Tell Larry
    Don't Tell Larry is a dark comedy that tries hard to deliver a unique brand of comedy, only to fall short in the storytelling.

    Alma and the Wolf
    While I do appreciate it when a film shoots for the moon and tries something different, Alma and the Wolf missed.
  51. 28 Years Later
    Though it's more of a reboot than a sequel, 28 Years Later pays homage to the original film without sacrificing its originality & fresh spirit.
  52. Bleeding
    While the story at the center of it all proves intriguing, the execution dulls the narrative to the point of ruin.
  53. Bonjour Tristesse
    The setting and the drama of Bonjour Tristesse complement each other, but the finale is incongruous when the premise and the presentation seem to be on different terms. While the movie has a rich personality, it is moderately aimless and should have better established how it wanted to be different from the original.
  54. Diablo
    Sadly, Diablo is not a special B-movie, but it is one with great fights.
  55. Bride Hard
    We’re only halfway through the year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Bride Hard ends up being the worst movie of 2025.
  56. Everything's Going to Be Great
    By reflecting the difficulties of life with the hope that comes from one's passion, this film does a great job at emphasizing how, even in the face of insurmountable adversity, passion can triumph over even the toughest of times.
  57. The Queen of My Dreams
    The Queen of My Dreams depicts complicated love amid familial conflicts and an adoration of classic Bollywood cinema.
  58. F1: The Movie
    It might be a Formula One promotional movie at its core, but at least it’s a damn good film.
  59. Elio
    Pixar's latest big screen adventure, Elio, is a big-hearted tale about friendship, family, and connection, and it will both delight and wreck you.
  60. Our Times
    The things that are wrong with Our Times make it too wild to pack a punch, but a better version of it certainly exists in one timeline or another.
  61. Deep Cover
    It might be pretty forgettable, but thanks to its stellar lead actors — especially Bloom, who goes full psycho in the guise of a career criminal — it’s a fun ride.

    The Other
    I was mildly intrigued by the plot progression in The Other, but it did not redeem itself from a thematic perspective.
  63. The Unholy Trinity
    While The Unholy Trinity allows its stars to shine, the cookie-cutter story drags this movie down enough that it's difficult to recommend.
  64. Gator Lake
    Unfortunately, the filmmaker's style lacks the same panache or intrigue as many other creature feature directors before him, which could partly be attributed to Gator Lake being his feature directorial debut, but also could just be that the movie's modest budget prevented some of his grander ambitions from coming to fruition.
  65. Miley Cyrus: Something Beautiful
    It's fun, and there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but I found myself distracted, turning away from the screen several times because I knew I wasn't missing much. Something Beautiful will come and go, and for most, it won't make much of an impact.
  66. Best Wishes to All
    Showcasing a harrowing horror story about the cost of happiness, Best Wishes to All is a terrifying, twisted tale that never lets up on the scary revelations it keeps unearthing.
  67. Echo Valley
    Watching Echo Valley isn't long at a little over an hour and a half. However, even in that amount of time, I had hoped to witness more of the story and fewer hollow twists.
  68. 11 Rebels
    The action itself is where 11 Rebels' mix of modern and classic filmmaking really shines and had me gripped.
  69. How to Train Your Dragon
    The How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake is a fantastic movie, not just emulating the animated original, but elevating it, all while also delivering an exciting summer blockbuster poised to thrill
  70. Materialists
    Song has a particular knack for telling stories that break down the walls around our hearts and leave us aching in the best way possible.
  71. The Life of Chuck
    The film is poignant and meaningful, with an appreciation for life that reminds us why we live it and how to enjoy it as well.
  72. Trail of Vengeance
    Trail of Vengeance is undermined by the fact that a feminist Western cannot succeed without women having meaningful influence behind the scenes. What we are left with is a film that is a hollow imitation of a much-loved genre.

    Dangerous Animals
    As a meat-and-potatoes thriller, Dangerous Animals does get the job done, but if it didn't center Jai Courtney's great serial killer performance, it would have absolutely nothing to recommend it to those who aren't already wholly devoted to watching every single thriller that comes to theaters.
  74. Predator: Killer of Killers
    The movie shows both the best and worst parts of Trachtenberg making two separate Predator movies simultaneously.
  75. Sunlight
    While I wish the movie's tone and story were a little more even, there's definitely enough here for many to enjoy.
  76. Ballerina
    Her first outing is largely a rush of violent, thrilling action, entertainingly served up for the big screen, but it isn't without its problems. I just hope that if this killer gets to dance again, she's better served by a more streamlined narrative.
  77. It Was Just an Accident
    It’s a stunning achievement from the director, one that has sat with me since I saw it, growing in its effectiveness.
  78. The Last Rodeo
    When all is said and done, the movie manages to juggle several moving parts with incredible graceful balance.
  79. Mountainhead
    The actors inhabit these characters well, but they don't have the benefit of juxtaposition with normality to really put their work in context.
  80. Karate Kid: Legends
    It strikes a good balance between heartfelt and fun, and the cast has great chemistry; their interactions are joyful and dynamic.
  81. Amrum
    Amrum doesn't fully confront all the questions it poses, instead serving as a meditation on the ways a child might respond to a world he doesn't fully understand.
  82. Splitsville
    Thankfully, Covino and Martin never insult our intelligence by over-explanatory dialogue and lectures. Instead, this talented writing duo focuses on what audiences want: human desire and the wild things we’ll do for connection.

    Fear Street: Prom Queen
    2021 was an excellent year for slasher fans, and the Fear Street trilogy was one of the big reasons why. Four years later, Fear Street: Prom Queen, which exists in the same town and timeline but functions as a standalone, continues the fun.
  84. The History of Sound
    It’s thoughtful and quietly devastating. In its insistence to buck conventions of the queer drama, though, it inevitably falls into some of the very traps it hopes to avoid, landing somewhere between expectations and the underwhelming pic it flirts with becoming.
  85. Sentimental Value
    Trier captures so much while saying so little and, in many ways, Sentimental Value feels like the film he's been building toward his entire career.
  86. Urchin
    The most interesting and beautiful piece to this puzzle is the fact that Dillane's performance can steer the audience in any direction emotionally and at any given moment.

    Restless
    As a first-time director, Hart has certainly shown his aptitude for evoking a strong lead performance and working in tandem with his technical team to create rhythm and tone, making me excited about what he will do next.
  88. Fountain of Youth
    Ritchie is a prolific action director, and he leans action here, which is fine. When it's not being distractingly stylized, the action is good. But treasure hunt movies have a nerdy side that sometimes feels undervalued by this film.
  89. Leave One Day
    The beauty of a musical isn't just in the songs themselves, but the feelings they leave us with as we exit the theater. Leave One Day opts for a cheerier disposition that undermines staying power beyond its infectious tunes.
  90. Alpha
    Some may find this despairing and baffling, but Ducournau finds a strange layer of hope and love beneath all the dust and grime.
  91. Highest 2 Lowest
    It’s less challenging and possibly less rewarding but it’s no less fun.

    Worth the Wait
    It is consistently sweet and charming.
  93. Enzo
    Enzo is subtle in its examination of queer desire, understanding that quick glances and soft touch can be just as sensual — and even more effective — as anything intense.
  94. Two Prosecutors
    This story of civic injustice isn’t just a great achievement by the director. It’s a cautionary tale about the repetition of tragic moments in history.
  95. Lilo & Stitch
    Audiences want to be moved and given a reason to revisit the emotions sparked by the story, and Lilo & Stitch delivers.
  96. The Secret Agent
    Despite the film’s title, though, The Secret Agent isn’t your typical espionage thriller, but it’s all the better for how it plays with genre, tone, and expectations.
  97. Dossier 137
    What makes Dossier 137 a fascinating watch is being able to observe a singular character battle all the complexities of morality when it comes to justice, truth, and conflict of interest. Moll doesn’t write Stéphanie with the intent of letting her take the easy way out, which creates some exceptional character study moments.
  98. Sirât
    A fever dream in the bleakest sense, Sirat is a wild and apocalyptic epic, mythological in scale but intimate in its story about family.

    The Severed Sun
    Building to a fairly satisfying conclusion, The Severed Sun is scattered, but Puckett makes sure that it is confident chaos.
  100. Jane Austen Wrecked My Life
    What could be a basic struggling artist's journey of self-discovery and inspiration has many nuances and idiosyncrasies, making for a thoroughly off-the-beaten-path narrative that provokes thought despite some minor loose threads.
