7. “Magic Mike”
A step on the star-ladder for Channing Tatum, this sly, engaging drama about a male stripper is more proof that director Steven Soderbergh can make just about anything entertaining.
8. “Killing Them Softly”
This grimly funny gangster film’s cynicism runs bone-deep. But it’s darkly funny, and boasts a sucker punch line that will stick with you.
9. “Beasts of the Southern Wild”
Beautiful, unique and emotionally exuberant, this tale of dreams and despair in a flooded world is a folk hymn to the mysteries of being alive.
10. “Skyfall”
An elegant, moody and distinctly modern take on Bond; it’s one of the most beautiful action movies I’ve ever seen.
