  1. Intelligent, original and committed, it’s also a little meandering. But Records cuts a strikingly amoral figure, and the sight of Christopher Lloyd intoning poetry over dying embers reminds us what a wonderful actor he is.
  2. Ragnarok is both the MCU’s funniest outing yet and its clearest beneficiary of a playful, character-ful director’s voice since Guardians.
  3. The drama gets overwrought but Shults stages the fallout artfully, stressing choppy montages and a nerve-rattling sound mix as tensions erupt.
  4. Carey Mulligan is electric in a blackly comic #MeToo revenge thriller fuelled by righteous fury.
  5. The best sci-fi trilogy you’ve never seen amalgamated into one organic whole. Surprising, exciting and, at times, strangely beautiful.
  6. Ambiguity is The Falling’s currency, and it’s all the richer for it.
  7. Besson is at his balls-out bonkers best in this genre-scrambling, mind-expanding exhilarator.
  8. Smart, literate and romantic, it's this year's (500) Days Of Summer, but with a few more shadows. Like Calvin, you'll find it hard to resist Ms Sparks.
  9. A gentle tale, tinged with melancholy told with all the loving attention to detail you expect from Studio Ghibli.
  10. A stop-motion charmer.
  11. Another shrewdly gauged study of our capacity for deception and self-deception from A Separation’s auteur. Emotionally devastating.
  12. We’ve all been waiting for Gadot, and it was worth it. A much-needed blockbuster full of humour, spectacle and optimism.
  13. Best of all...is the mini-animation fashioned out of Suskind’s Walt-inspired scribblings.
  14. While their situation feels futile, the film is almost poetic in posing important questions.

    A darker and sadder Part 2 brings the story of Oz's witches to a moving close and cements Jon M. Chu's adaptation of Wicked as an absolute triumph. But, For Good suffers slightly from thinner source material and weak new songs.

    This is hands-down the best Trek flick made so far.
  15. Though not as dramatically rich or emotionally compelling as Skyfall, Spectre still ranks as a sleek, pulse-pounding if slightly overlong entertainment.
  16. The Pass is narratively simplistic but psychologically complex.
  17. A finely etched character study, with Cumberbatch on towering form. Set coordinates for the Oscars.

    Plays like an elegy for the demise of the cool, thick with the small-hours allure of addiction and infatuation but smart enough to see clearly.
  18. An expertly calibrated drama confirming Marsh’s status as one of Britain’s most formidable filmmakers.
  19. Jurassic World is a fiendishly crafted blockbuster: old-fashioned thrills, heroism and romance, locked inside a smart, self-aware shell.
  20. Dolan never flinches across this bold, brassy piece; it’s confidently directed, stylishly shot, passionately acted and evocatively scored.
  21. Despite its hard-scrabble setting, eco-gloominess and dystopian story, this dark fairytale is engagingly vivid and life-affirming. An ambitious love letter to a Louisiana way of life that's being literally washed away.
  22. Both smart political primer and tense cautionary tale.
  23. While it hardly stays with you like The Invisible Man, Renfield is a fun Friday night at the movies.
  24. Too slow for the mainstream, perhaps, this presents a disgusted worldview thats painstakingly plausible, however much we may wish differently.
  25. While the film occasionally pushes you to feel as deeply as Benji, something it can’t quite pull off, there is a profundity to David and Benji’s pilgrimage that leaves an unmistakable impression.
  26. Not up there with key US influences "Annie Hall," "When Harry Met Sally" and "Jerry Maguire," but a romcom Brits can be proud of. Make a date of it.
  27. Chloé Zhao gives the MCU just the kick in the pants it needs at this phase in its evolution.
