  1. Wreck-It Ralph
    The most inventive and entertaining family movie I've seen this year, packed with wickedly smart humor and joyful animation.
  2. Holy Motors
    It's an exhilarating trip of movie madness and sadness.
  3. Chasing Mavericks
    Chasing Mavericks may treat its characters with a little too much reverence, but it gives its titular subject its awe-inspiring due.
  4. Bad 25
    Bad 25 is an intimate view of a performer at his peak in the intense splendor of creativity.
  5. Nobody Walks
    The acting ensemble is crucial. Everyone's really fine.
  6. Alex Cross
    Where Freeman was warm but enigmatic, Perry is warm but empty.
  7. Paranormal Activity 4
    There's a point at which movies become only merchandise, and the Paranormal franchise may be heading for that nexus, that nadir.
  8. Flight
    A canny director and a top star decided to dig deep to find the core of a compromised hero. And when they reach that center of gravity, Flight soars.
  9. Café de Flore
    The film is generous to all its besotted creatures, and to the audience as well. Viewers who fall in love with Café de Flore will find that it loves them back.
  10. Seven Psychopaths
    Small in stature but consistently entertaining, Seven Psychopaths is a vacation from consequence for the Tony- and Oscar-winning author, and an unsupervised play date for his cast of screw-loose stars.
  11. Sinister
    The movie is full of feints, shocks and scenes of particularly perverse violence, but nothing about it is fresh enough to haunt you in the night. It's predictable.
  12. Sister
    Director Ursula Meier's Sister is a penetrating study of familial bonds, quietly devastating in parts, beautiful on whole and destined to make you fall in love with a practiced and entirely amoral preteen thief.
  13. Taken 2
    Somehow Neeson makes the ridiculous plausible. A mature, real man in an era of superhero fantasy, he radiates something rare in movie musclemen: a haunted gravity to match his outsize physique.
  14. The Oranges
    Light as a feather, the movie is at times a modest pleasure, but inconsequential.
  15. Frankenweenie
    Frankenweenie has that youthful verve and the ghoulishness of strange kids who will some day be eccentric creators. This movie is an attic experiment for its makers to be proud of and for audiences to cherish.
  16. Life of Pi
    Pi is a giant leap forward, outward and upward in expanding the resources of the evolving medium of movies. Magical realism was rarely so magical and never before so real.
  17. The Paperboy
    All the actors rise or bend to the challenge, giving juicy performances and seemingly having a fine old time.
  18. Wuthering Heights
    Faithful and bold adaptation.
  19. Won't Back Down
    If "Waiting for Superman" was intended to make audiences think, Won't Back Down is supposed to make them feel. It made me feel more annoyed than outraged.
  20. Pitch Perfect
    A spirited, irreverent and hugely fun comedy.
  21. Hotel Transylvania
    Hotel Transylvania isn't a complete stinker. Sandler, speaking in a pitch close to his Opera Man routine from his days on Saturday Night Live, is less obnoxious than usual. The visuals are consistently enticing - the castle/hotel is artfully rendered...And there are some bright and funny lines.
  22. Looper
    A fanciful film with the patina of hyper-realism, Looper is well served by actors who behave not as if they were dropped carelessly into the future but spent their whole desperate lives there.
  23. End of Watch
    The performances here are so sharp that viewers may wish End of Watch has been shot by someone who knew how to find the right point of view for a scene and leave it there.
  24. Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel
    The mind may clamor for more, but the eye, traveling over this visual history of Diana Vreeland, is pleased.
  25. Trouble with the Curve
    If the modest and moving Trouble With the Curve won't overwhelm anybody, it's still an engaging winner, like a junk-ball pitcher who stays in the bigs on grit and heart.
  26. Silver Linings Playbook
    The performances of these actors are reason enough to go. The reason to stay is Lawrence.
  27. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
    Watson makes a smooth matriculation from the England-made Harry Potter epics to this movie's thrifty, six-week Pittsburgh shoot.
  28. Hyde Park on Hudson
    Roger Michell's movie is, pretty consistently, dreadful.
  29. Arbitrage
    Gere is being talked about as an Oscar contender - he's never been nominated. January is a long time off yet, but his name is certainly worth putting on the long list.
  30. Liberal Arts
    In its lesser moments, of which there are more, Liberal Arts calls to mind more the spirit of an alumni magazine, so bathed in nostalgia for academia that you expect autumn leaves to flutter down to the theater floor.
