82 Creed Watch Trailer
Against all odds, the seventh Rocky film is one of the best in the series to date. It also features a passing of the torch. Michael B. Jordan reunites with his Fruitvale Station director, Ryan Coogler, to star as Adonis Johnson, Apollo Creed’s son, opposite Sylvester Stallone's ailing Rocky Balboa, with the latter star picking up an Oscar nomination. Tessa Thompson (Dear White People) and Phylicia Rashad also star in the first Rocky movie since 2006's Rocky Balboa.
66 The Danish Girl Watch Trailer
This 2015 drama from Tom Hooper (Les Miserables, The King’s Speech) chronicles the journey of Einar and Gerda Wegener (Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander), husband and wife painters in 1920s Copenhagen, as Einar discovers his desire to become a woman and begins one of the first documented male to female medical transitions. Both Vikander and Redmayne earned praise—and Academy Award nominations— for their performances, though the film as a whole wasn't entirely well received by critics.
55 Legend Watch Trailer
The latest attempt to bring the story of the Kray twins to the big screen finds Tom Hardy playing both brothers, notorious gangsters Ronald and Reginald, who terrorized London in the 1950s and '60s. Writer-director Brian Helgeland (42, A Knight’s Tale) assembled a strong cast (Emily Browning, David Thewlis, Christopher Eccleston, Chazz Palminteri, Tara Fitzgerald, and Taron Egerton), though reviewers found the result less than legendary.
58 The Night Before Watch Trailer
Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt reunited with their 50/50 director Jonathan Levine—and added co-star Anthony Mackie—for this R-rated holiday comedy about childhood friends having one last crazy Christmas Eve before adulthood takes hold. With a supporting cast that includes Jillian Bell, Lizzy Caplan, Miley Cyrus, Michael Shannon, Mindy Kaling, and Kanye West, the film follows the three friends as they search for the “Holy Grail of Christmas parties” — the Nutcracka Ball.
86 Room Watch Trailer
Director Lenny Abrahamson’s follow-up to Frank is an adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s best-selling novel about a woman (Brie Larson) and her 5-year-old son Jack (Jacob Tremblay), who escape the 10-by-10-foot space where they have been trapped since before Jack was born. Joan Allen and William H. Macy also star. In addition to receiving some of the best reviews of 2015, Room picked up four Academy Award nominations, including best picture.
91 Taxi Watch Trailer
Banned by his government from making another film, Iranian director Jafar Panahi (This Is Not a Film, Offside, The Circle) found a creative way to continue his career, and the result is even more critical acclaim. Shot like a documentary (but actually scripted), Taxi finds Panahi himself driving a cab through the streets of Tehran with a camera mounted on the dashboard, soliciting candid confessions from the passengers he picks up.
64 Youth Watch Trailer
While critics at Cannes last May didn’t praise director Paolo Sorrentino’s latest as much as his previous effort (foreign-language Oscar winner The Great Beauty), his second English-language film still should please some moviegoers with its visual beauty if not its story of two old friends (Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel) on vacation at a Swiss spa with their once-married children (Rachel Weisz and Paul Dano). Jane Fonda co-stars.

47 In the Heart of the Sea Watch Trailer
The second collaboration between director Ron Howard and star Chris Hemsworth tells a very different true story than their first, Rush. Set in the winter of 1820, Sea is a chronicle of the New England whaling ship Essex and the whale attack that would serve as the inspiration for Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. Though the visuals are successful, critics were underwhelmed by the story.
71 Macbeth Watch Trailer
Directed by Justin Kurzel (The Snowtown Murders), this violent adaptation of Shakespeare's Scottish play was praised by most critics at Cannes, especially for its lead performances. Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard star.
67 The Peanuts Movie Watch Trailer
It's a rare G-rated film and the first Peanuts movie in 35 years. Paul Feig is among the producers, and he and writers Craig and Bryan Schulz (Charles' son and grandson, respectively) and Cornelius Uliano do nothing to harm the cartoonist's legacy, according to critics. That said, younger audiences will get much more out of the movie than adults.
78 The Tribe Watch Trailer
Set in a Ukrainian boarding school for the deaf, Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy's daring feature debut uses only sign language—without any subtitles or voiceover—to tell its rather brutal and explicit story about Sergey, a new student, who falls in with "The Tribe," a student gang dealing in crime and prostitution. After passing their hazing rituals, he takes part in several robberies and begins to work his way up the chain of command.
77 Victoria Watch Trailer
This partially improvised and hugely ambitious feature feature from director Sebastian Schipper is presented as a continuous two-hour shot (with no Birdman-style cheating to hide the edits). It follows the titular character, a young woman (Laia Costa) from Madrid, as she meets Sonne (Frederick Lau), a local Berliner and his pals outside of a club. Hoping to have a fun night with her local guides, Victoria falls into trouble when Sonne and his friends must pull off a bank heist to pay off a debt to some very bad men. In addition to impressing critics, Victoria won six prizes at the German Film Awards last year.

81 The Big Short Watch Trailer
Nominated for five Academy Awards including best picture, Adam McKay’s adaptation of Moneyball author Michael Lewis’ book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine follows four outsiders who bet against the banks before the housing crash of 2008. Based on a true story, the film stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt as the central characters in what critics believe is an invigorating jump to the (mostly) dramatic by a director best known for his Will Ferrell-starring comedies.
87 Brooklyn Watch Trailer
Another best picture nominee, this tale of a young Irish immigrant follows Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan) as she finds her way in 1950s Brooklyn. Eilis is homesick for Ireland, but when she meets Tony (Emory Cohen), an Italian boy who falls for her immediately, love lifts her out of sadness, until her past comes calling once again. John Crowley directs this adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s 2009 novel with an Oscar-nominated screenplay by novelist Nick Hornby.
95 Carol Watch Trailer
The best-reviewed movie of 2015 and a six-time Oscar nominee (though it was inexplicably omitted from the best picture field), Carol is Todd Haynes’ first big-screen effort in eight years. Adapted from Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt, the melodrama chronicles the love affair between Blanchett’s Carol, the married mother of a young daughter, and Mara’s Therese, a department store clerk. Kyle Chandler and Sarah Paulson also star.
58 Sisters Watch Trailer
Since 2008‘s Baby Mama, the creative minds of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have helped produce successful TV shows (30 Rock, Parks & Recreation), best-selling books, and three watchable Golden Globes ceremonies. In their latest collaboration they play disconnected sisters who throw one last party before clearing out their childhood home.

65 The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Watch Trailer
The Hunger Games trilogy(-ish) concluded last year with a film that picks up where the critically and financially disappointing Part 1 left off the prior year. Mockingjay's action-packed finale finds Jennifer Lawrence wielding her bow and arrows as Katniss for one last time as she faces off against President Snow (Donald Sutherland). Supporting her (some more than others) will be Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Natalie Dormer and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in his final screen appearance.
83 James White Watch Trailer
This under-the-radar Sundance hit and debut feature from Josh Mond stars Christopher Abbott as the title character, a troubled New Yorker struggling with the extra responsibility brought on by his mother’s (Cynthia Nixon) increasingly serious illness. Inspired by Mond’s experiences dealing with his own ailing mother, James White is a unique and raw story brought to life by an excellent cast that also includes Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi, Ron Livingston, David Call, and Mackenzie Leigh.

55 Concussion Watch Trailer
Think of it as The Insider, but for pro football. Featuring a serious, return-to-form performance from Will Smith, this fact-based drama centers on a Nigerian-born neuropathologist who researches the link between football injuries and brain trauma. But critics faulted the script from writer-director Peter Landesman (Kill the Messenger), finding the result fairly lifeless.
68 The Hateful Eight Watch Trailer
Quentin Tarantino's snowy, claustrophobic (but wide-screen) western is an ensemble piece featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Demián Bichir, and Bruce Dern. The film took a strange road to the big screen: the script leaked onto the internet, Tarantino staged a live-read prior to production, and police unions threatened to boycott the film (or worse). The result is not one of Tarantino's best, but even sub-peak Tarantino is worth a watch.
34 Point Break Watch Trailer
One of the reasons 1991‘s Point Break attained cult status was its cast: Keanu Reeves as ex-football star/FBI agent Johnny Utah, Patrick Swayze as zen-surfer/bank-robber Bodhi, and Gary Busey as agent Angelo “Get me two” Pappas. So while this completely unnecessary 2015 remake amped up the stunts to a startling level, the trio of Luke Bracey, Edgar Ramirez and Ray Winstone didn't quite have the charisma of the original stars.
