1. Hunger (2008)
Not Rated | 96 min | Biography, Crime, Drama
Irish republican Bobby Sands leads the inmates of a Northern Irish prison in a hunger strike.
Director: Steve McQueen | Stars: Michael Fassbender, Liam Cunningham, Stuart Graham, Laine Megaw
Votes: 73,578 | Gross: $0.15M
B+
The minimal dialogue, beautiful camerawork, a specific scene that was all dialogue with no cuts, and Michael Fassbender's raw discipline made this viewing experience a stimulating one.
2. Gretchen (2005)
98 min | Comedy, Family, Romance
Gretchen has bigger problems than abysmal fashion sense: She's 17, painfully awkward and stuck in the most unforgiving place on earth - high school. When her obsession with school bad boy ... See full summary »
Director: Steve Collins | Stars: Courtney Davis, John Merriman, Macon Blair, Becky Ann Baker

D
Nope. I wanted to see this because the main actor from Blue Ruin is in it. Gretchen just tried too hard to recapture the magical wit Napoleon Dynamite and Welcome to the Dollhouse had, but all the awkwardness failed to be humorous and the comedy was damn-near nonexistent. Might have played well as a student film project for a talented filmmaker still trying to hone his skills.
3. Calvaire (2004)
Not Rated | 88 min | Drama, Horror, Thriller
Marc, a traveling entertainer, is on his way home for Christmas when his van breaks down in the middle of a jerkwater town with some strange inhabitants.
Director: Fabrice du Welz | Stars: Laurent Lucas, Brigitte Lahaie, Gigi Coursigny, Jean-Luc Couchard
Votes: 13,807 | Gross: $0.00M
C
Not sure what the director was trying to say with this one. Not very disturbing, but still pretty strange and transgressive. One really awesome scene. Rad title cards. Unfortunately, everything seemed stolen from better movies.
4. Au hasard Balthazar (1966)
Not Rated | 95 min | Drama
The story of a mistreated donkey and the people around him. A study on saintliness and a sister piece to Bresson's Mouchette.
Director: Robert Bresson | Stars: Anne Wiazemsky, Walter Green, François Lafarge, Jean-Claude Guilbert
Votes: 22,841 | Gross: $0.04M
B+
"It's so ugly here. This is a place to die in. With no regrets."
5. Insomnia (1997)
Not Rated | 96 min | Crime, Mystery, Thriller
In a Norwegian city with a 24-hour daylight cycle a Swedish murder investigator has been brought in on a special case. Sleep deprived, he makes a horrible mistake which is discovered by the killer he has been hunting.
Director: Erik Skjoldbjærg | Stars: Stellan Skarsgård, Sverre Anker Ousdal, Maria Mathiesen, Gisken Armand
Votes: 15,597 | Gross: $0.22M
B-
Clearly more resourceful and unsavory than the remake, but less polished with lazy edits and silly sound mixing (punches that sound like you're putting air in your tires). I even caught the boom mic in one shot. Ultimately, still very entertaining and smart enough for Christopher Nolan to take a crack at it.
6. Paradise: Love (2012)
Unrated | 120 min | Drama
Teresa, a fifty-year-old Austrian mother, travels to the paradise of the beaches of Kenya, seeking out love from African boys. But she must confront the hard truth that on the beaches of Kenya, love is a business.
Director: Ulrich Seidl | Stars: Margarete Tiesel, Peter Kazungu, Inge Maux, Dunja Sowinetz
Votes: 10,038 | Gross: $0.02M
C+
I was constantly embarrassed for these woman, but I was constantly smiling because the whole movie was genuinely, humanly, awkwardly uncomfortable. This is the kind of movie that's hard to believe it's not more of a documentary than a movie with actors reading off a script. But sadly, it was mostly just boring. An average moviegoer wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes. Points for me for enduring old boobs and black wieners!
7. The Big Short (2015)
R | 130 min | Biography, Comedy, Drama
In 2006-2007 a group of investors bet against the United States mortgage market. In their research, they discover how flawed and corrupt the market is.
Director: Adam McKay | Stars: Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt
Votes: 485,130 | Gross: $70.26M
A
WOW.
8. Life During Wartime (2009)
R | 98 min | Comedy, Drama
Friends, family, and lovers struggle to find love, forgiveness, and meaning in an almost war-torn world riddled with comedy and pathos.
Director: Todd Solondz | Stars: Shirley Henderson, Allison Janney, Ally Sheedy, Michael Kenneth Williams
Votes: 7,855 | Gross: $0.28M
C+
My least favorite film from Solondz thus far. It was pretty cool spending time with the "Happiness" characters again, just not sure why he felt his fans would want a sequel, or why he felt the need to express it in this way.
9. Wild Tales (2014)
R | 122 min | Comedy, Drama, Thriller
Six short stories that explore the extremities of human behavior involving people in distress.
Director: Damián Szifron | Stars: Darío Grandinetti, María Marull, Mónica Villa, Diego Starosta
Votes: 216,500 | Gross: $3.11M
B
Highly entertaining, dramatic and never frustrating. A seriously refreshing change of pace when it comes to features that are a compilation of shorts.
10. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
PG | 117 min | Animation, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Warrior and pacifist Princess Nausicaä desperately struggles to prevent two warring nations from destroying themselves and their dying planet.

I've never been so moved by an anime in my life.
11. Anomalisa (2015)
R | 90 min | Animation, Comedy, Drama
A man crippled by the mundanity of his life experiences something out of the ordinary.
Directors: Duke Johnson, Charlie Kaufman | Stars: David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Noonan
Votes: 75,341 | Gross: $3.76M
B
Wasn't the masterpiece I was hoping for, but short, sweet and humbly thought-provoking, regardless.
12. The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015)
R | 102 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance
A teen artist living in 1970s San Francisco enters into an affair with her mother's boyfriend.
Director: Marielle Heller | Stars: Bel Powley, Alexander Skarsgård, Kristen Wiig, Christopher Meloni
Votes: 33,581 | Gross: $1.48M
B
Good stuff. Not that this is a bad thing at all, but I think I probably would have liked it a lot more if I were a younger female.
13. 45 Years (2015)
R | 95 min | Drama, Romance
A married couple preparing to celebrate their wedding anniversary receives shattering news that promises to forever change the course of their lives.
Director: Andrew Haigh | Stars: Charlotte Rampling, Tom Courtenay, Geraldine James, Dolly Wells
Votes: 35,159 | Gross: $4.25M
A-
Charlotte Rampling eyes are the focal point within this entire film, which carry as much depth as almost the whole spectrum of human emotion. Even when it's not so clear that she's feeling the most intense ones, we can almost look right through them to understand that all she is doing is masking the pain. The acting in 45 Years is painfully realistic and the direction by Andrew Haigh is damn admirable to say the least. I really wanted to A+ this movie, but grading it as a whole, some of the scenes that seemed to dwell on the mundane rendered it a flawed masterpiece.
14. Spotlight (I) (2015)
R | 129 min | Biography, Crime, Drama
The true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.

High five to Mark Ruffalo and high five to Howard Shore for his kick-ass score!
15. Sicario (2015)
R | 121 min | Action, Crime, Drama
An idealistic FBI agent is enlisted by a government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico.
Director: Denis Villeneuve | Stars: Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, Jon Bernthal
Votes: 477,223 | Gross: $46.89M
A
Cerebral misery. Crime/drama/thriller with splashes of Haneke, Gordon Green, Chandor, Refn. Brutal and beautiful. RESPECT.
16. Ted 2 (2015)

Newlywed couple Ted and Tami-Lynn want to have a baby, but in order to qualify to be a parent, Ted will have to prove he's a person in a court of law.

Stupid but hilarious.
17. Room (I) (2015)
R | 118 min | Drama, Thriller
A little boy is held captive in a room with his mother since his birth, so he has never known the world outside.
Director: Lenny Abrahamson | Stars: Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, Sean Bridgers, Wendy Crewson
Votes: 450,820 | Gross: $14.68M
B
What an amazing story! That's why I was so bummed out the director made went with so many overused choices. I got goosebumps and choked up during one scene, then I was desperately trying to recapture that feeling like a drug of choice. There should have been more love, more crying, more screaming, more tenderness, less dialogue at points, more dialogue at points, more forgiveness, more Macy..but the director made the movie his way and it was still very impressive.
18. Brooklyn (2015)
PG-13 | 117 min | Drama, Romance
An Irish immigrant lands in 1950s Brooklyn, where she quickly falls into a romance with a local. When her past catches up with her, however, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.
Director: John Crowley | Stars: Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson, Jim Broadbent

A pleasant and kindhearted movie :)
19. The Revenant (I) (2015)
R | 156 min | Action, Adventure, Drama

Director: Alejandro G. Iñárritu | Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Will Poulter, Domhnall Gleeson
Votes: 874,941 | Gross: $183.64M
A+
I haven't felt so punched in the gut while watching a movie in the theater since Requiem For A Dream.
20. Dark Horse (2011)
Not Rated | 86 min | Comedy, Drama
Romance blooms between two tricenarians in arrested development: an avid toy collector who is the dark horse of his family and a depressed woman on the rebound.
Director: Todd Solondz | Stars: Jordan Gelber, Selma Blair, Christopher Walken, Mia Farrow
Votes: 6,388 | Gross: $0.94M
B
Similar humor, but tamed and much less taboo. However, I found myself realizing near the end that Solondz was making me think deeper than I ever have with him before, probably because I wasn't laughing and I wasn't squirming. Still, I was focused, and the last shot gave me that trippy-type-feeling relief.
21. Vivre sa vie (1962)
Not Rated | 85 min | Drama
Twelve episodic tales in the life of a Parisian woman and her slow descent into prostitution.
Director: Jean-Luc Godard | Stars: Anna Karina, Sady Rebbot, André S. Labarthe, Guylaine Schlumberger
Votes: 35,017
B+
Amazing to look at, amazing to listen to. I felt ten times cooler while watching it. Seriously smart compositions and editing choices.
22. The End of the Tour (2015)
R | 106 min | Biography, Drama
The story of the five-day interview between Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky and acclaimed novelist David Foster Wallace, which took place right after the 1996 publication of Wallace's groundbreaking epic novel, 'Infinite Jest.'
Director: James Ponsoldt | Stars: Jason Segel, Jesse Eisenberg, Anna Chlumsky, Mamie Gummer
Votes: 32,593 | Gross: $2.99M
A-
I just love the feeling this movie gave me. I liked both of the characters a lot, and knowing the end result before the fact made me really respect and want to know more of Jason Segel's character. And the last 20 minutes kept getting me chocked up. But why? Nothing sad was happening on the screen. It was probably the brilliant character development and the very beautiful score..let alone the somewhat relatable subject matter.
23. Deathgasm (2015)
Not Rated | 86 min | Action, Comedy, Horror
Two teenage boys unwittingly summon an ancient evil entity known as The Blind One by delving into black magic while trying to escape their mundane lives.
Director: Jason Howden | Stars: Milo Cawthorne, James Joshua Blake, Kimberley Crossman, Sam Berkley
Votes: 19,256
C+
I tried so hard to like this movie more. Not bad at all, pretty well made, gory, rad soundtrack, but the jokes just didn't stick. I did laugh a few times though.
24. Steve Jobs (2015)
R | 122 min | Biography, Drama
Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution, to paint a portrait of the man at its epicenter. The story unfolds backstage at three iconic product launches, ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac.
Director: Danny Boyle | Stars: Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Jeff Daniels
Votes: 178,654 | Gross: $17.77M
B+
I got completely sucked into the dialogue with this one! Super cool contrast between the beginning and end too.
25. The Martian (2015)
PG-13 | 144 min | Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi
An astronaut becomes stranded on Mars after his team assume him dead, and must rely on his ingenuity to find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive and can survive until a potential rescue.
Director: Ridley Scott | Stars: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara
Votes: 926,320 | Gross: $228.43M
C+
If I have to watch another American Space Movie where hundreds of people are high-fiving each other in one of those dispatch control room area thingies, I'm going to strengthen my foreign movie diet. However, The Martian did have a good positive message and stuff, but to me, it's a forgettable movie. I will also say that it's made very well, technically, but so are a lot if other hackneyed movies.
26. Amy (III) (2015)
R | 128 min | Documentary, Biography, Music
Archival footage and personal testimonials present an intimate portrait of the life and career of British singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse.

A couple sequences so powerful that my goosebumps got goosebumps.
29. Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010)
R | 89 min | Comedy, Horror
Affable hillbillies Tucker and Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are mistaken for murderers by a group of preppy college students.

This movie progressively got better and better until I literally clapped during the credits...by myself, alone in my apartment.
32. Mistress America (2015)
R | 84 min | Comedy, Drama
A lonely college freshman's life is turned upside-down by her impetuous, adventurous stepsister-to-be.
Director: Noah Baumbach | Stars: Greta Gerwig, Lola Kirke, Shana Dowdeswell, Shelby Rebecca Wong
Votes: 28,759 | Gross: $2.46M
C+
Quirky, snappy Juno-esque type dialogue with play-it-safe material seems to be Baumbach's new shtick. Not really a fan of any of it.

Really effective stuff. It got the struggle of new sobriety right, and the rewards and gratitude that come along with it down the road. I just wish they focused more on the detox process of alcoholism. When you drink that much for that long, your body doesn't let you just get up and go once you decide to stop; your body hurts, and you shake intensely, and you vomit, and it feels like your body is rapidly shutting down.

I am so proud of Emad Burnat for his accomplishment. Few documentaries have this level of grit and fearlessness.

On a technical standpoint, this movie thrives. And on acting and directing standpoints, it's without a doubt a very hearty meal. However, the "stretch of the imagination" this movie asked of me didn't really seem fair.
42. The Nomi Song (2004)

PG-13 | 98 min | Biography, Comedy, Drama
A world-weary political journalist picks up the story of a woman's search for her son, who was taken away from her decades ago after she became pregnant and was forced to live in a convent.
Director: Stephen Frears | Stars: Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Mare Winningham
Votes: 103,820 | Gross: $37.71M
A
For the past couple of years I thought Philomena was gonna be a silly generational gap road movie with the two main characters bickering at each other for 2-hours. But it turns out that this movie has the emotional range, and the unconditional depth of a most beautiful song or a most nostalgic memory. If you haven't, give this movie a go. Your heart and smiles will thank you for it.
44. I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)

45. People Places Things (2015)
R | 85 min | Comedy, Romance

Director: Jim Strouse | Stars: Jemaine Clement, Regina Hall, Jessica Williams, Stephanie Allynne
Votes: 11,001
C
This director found something he liked from the Miranda Julys, the Woody Allens and the Lena Dunhams of the world, but failed to give us something from himself, accept this stale recycled misuse of a movie. To be honest, it was really funny at times, but dude.. try not to check off everything you read from the "How to make a really cool independent movie that people will totally think is cool" book next time.
46. Soaked in Bleach (2015)
Not Rated | 90 min | Documentary, Crime
Tom Grant, a private investigator once hired by Courtney Love, reveals his take on the death of Kurt Cobain.
Director: Benjamin Statler | Stars: Daniel Roebuck, Sarah Scott, August Emerson, Tyler Bryan
Votes: 11,599
C
I'm just not sure what I believe anymore. But I do know that this doc is pretty damn persuasive. If a viewer doesn't become more of a skeptic of Cobain's suicide after viewing this, I don't know what will. Still, I don't prefer to dwell on his death anymore than I have to. I love his music and my memory of him. Also, the filmmakers did a fine job here. I didn't think I'd like the acted/scripted parts of the movie, but it honestly kinda works..even though they're using some big time editing manipulation here. The director's bias IS strong, no matter how true his aim is.
47. Mustang (2015)
PG-13 | 97 min | Drama
When five orphan girls are seen innocently playing with boys on a beach, their scandalized conservative guardians confine them while forced marriages are arranged.
Director: Deniz Gamze Ergüven | Stars: Günes Sensoy, Doga Zeynep Doguslu, Tugba Sunguroglu, Elit Iscan
Votes: 40,918 | Gross: $0.85M
A-
What a great ensemble of actors and what a way to achieve what these young girls are going through on screen. It's an eyeopening watch and a convincing report of bearing personal hardships. One could go on and on in regard of the religious aspect, but it's easier to just root for the good positive things in the movie instead.
48. The Night Before (II) (2015)
R | 101 min | Comedy, Fantasy
On Christmas Eve, three lifelong friends spend the night in New York City looking for the Holy Grail of Christmas parties.
Director: Jonathan Levine | Stars: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Jillian Bell, Lizzy Caplan
Votes: 82,654 | Gross: $43.04M
B-
I'm a fan of this director and I'm a fan of these actors. I had fun and I laughed a lot. Yet something about this movie felt rushed to me. I can't really explain it. But though there was a solid resolution, my head was still tilted in confusing a bit, wondering what those missing pieces were. You WILL laugh though!
49. All the Wilderness (2014)

A restless teenager explores the wilderness of his city while struggling with the absence of his father.
Director: Michael James Johnson | Stars: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Virginia Madsen, Isabelle Fuhrman, Evan Ross
Votes: 1,547
B
Things seem supernatural, but it's all just coming-of-age.
I loved the look and I loved the story. The execution just needed a little more gravitas.

Such a challenging subject matter to portray truthfully. It's remarkable that got it off the ground and completed. Many unusual feelings were going through me with this viewing and the only problem I had with it was that the director casting himself in the main role. He needed an actor who could really let himself go. But the young girl on the other hand was flat out perfect in this movie.

I'm giving this movie a passing grade for "going there" and letting the fan boys get their kicks, but I don't think I found anything here that was actually "artistic" enough to stay with me. Irreversible, Ichi, Salo...movies like that will forever stay with me because they gave me much more than just pure exploitation.

Not many films feel as if they were made solely as a gift for the audience, but rather something more personal for the director's own benefit. Whether it's an intimate form of expression on their behalf, or a shared family heirloom in a philosophical sense, the gratitude I feel towards the filmmakers will however resonate all the same.
