Add to my lists | Print this list

After many painstaking arguments, gallons of shed tears and several old-school barroom brawls, TONY’s film critics have come up with more than two dozen contenders that we feel deserve to be considered among the best that cinema has to offer. Don’t think of them as replacements for the tried-and-true greats of the past century-plus; they’re more like worthy, well-earned additions to the pantheon.
