Every year for many I have posted my list here starting about this time in December--then update it into January and February as I see most of the top Christmas season releases. So the list always changes quite bit before it's "final" next month. UPDATED on Oscars night: Here's what I've got as possible final, and in approximate order. I judge this as an especially weak year for American movies with many good and heartening "breakthroughs" but not great films.
