20. Rushmore (1998) Before Wes Anderson's films became stylistic exercises loaded up with an oppressive amount of visual detail and excruciatingly twee dialogue supporting boring vignette plot lines, he made really good movies, and this one was his best.

14. The Graduate (1967) Three indelible characters from the suburban disquiet of the 60s: A recent college graduate submerged in a hazy drifting inertia, a bored predatory housewife, and her daughter, who becomes a lifeline thrown to a drowning man.

12. Michael Clayton (2007) A meticulously constructed thriller in which a corporate fixer shrinks into moral exhaustion as he realizes that his talents have been mortgaged to the wrong causes and the psychic cost of further accommodation has become unbearable.

41. Tár (2022) Neither a simple character study nor a tidy morality play, Tár is, instead, a sustained act of disorientation that requires of its audience a willingness to sit with their discomfort as its protagonist teeters between transcendence and ruin.

15. The Departed (2006) An elaborate and lethal game of chess in which the pieces are entirely unaware of the board's dimensions. Martin Scorsese relentlessly ratchets the suspicion and deception upward until the air in every scene almost seems to vibrate.

40. Metropolitan (1990) A comedy of irony and manners, a sympathetic anthropological expedition into a vanishing milieu rehearsing its own obsolescence, and a melancholic chamber piece loaded with dialogue that's elliptical, literate, and faintly ridiculous.

50. The Big Lebowski (1998) A stoner noir and fount of memes held together by quirk and White Russians and a slacker protagonist that's less a character than a sensibility moving through the plot at the speed of a disinterested cloud. In refusing heroic purpose, The Dude abides.

56. Tender Mercies (1983) A film of quiet unassuming grace shaped by a narrative as spare as the long low horizons of its setting and a directorial restraint that gives actors room to breathe. Duvall's performance, a marvel of economy, was deservedly rewarded with an Oscar.

117. Reds (1981) Reds is too long, too forgiving of the politics of its characters, and too burdened by Warren Beatty's self-conscious acting. But as a glimpse of an interesting chapter in history it's compelling, and as a love story about two flawed people surprisingly moving.

54. Badlands (1973) Despite the body count and nihilism, Terrence Malick's camera lingers on the natural world — on scudding clouds and swaying grass and darting wildlife — as if to remind us that human horrors are but a blip in the grand indifference of the universe.

138. In the Bedroom (2001) Weighed down by regret and buried rage, a husband and wife grieve differently after their son is killed. Brilliantly acted (three Oscar acting nominations), Bedroom is a restrained but devastating film with no redemptive arc for its protagonists.
