85. Grease Year: 1951 Director: Randal Kleiser Okay, so the message Grease leaves us with as Sandy (Oilivia Newton-John) and Danny (John Travolta) head skyward in an unexplained flying convertible—that all you need to do to get boys to like you is dress sluttier and completely change your personality—is uh…not great. ButGrease never tries to masquerade as high art or relay any kind of profound mission statement beyond “being a teenager and hanging out with your friends is awesome,” and as such, it's incredibly easy to get sucked into its fun. Come for iconic song-and-dance numbers like “You're the One That I Want” and “Summer Nights,” stay for goofy one-liners like “if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter,” and lament the fact that your high school never had an end-of-the-year carnival.—Bonnie Stiernberg

84. The African Queen

83. Thor Year: 2011 Director: Kenneth Branagh Though it's rated PG-13, Thor may be the most kid-friendly of theAvengers films. It's a very well-executed movie, offering corny one-liners and plenty of muscle-bound heroism to whet fan appetites. Featuring characters taken from the Marvel comic universe, the film stars Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman and is directed by Kenneth Branagh (a guy more normally associated with the Great Bard than with Stan Lee). The story has warrior Thor (Chris Hemsworth) exiled by his father Odin (Hopkins) to Earth from his fantastical home of Asgard. It should be lauded for maintaining a tongue-in-cheek tone. It's surprisingly literate and even sharp in places, while not ever getting too dark or disturbing. It's that balance between edgier complexity and lighthearted appeal that makes Thor suitable for just about everyone.—Jonathan Hickman

81. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Year: 1982 Director: Nicholas Meyer Evoking the most memorable anguished cry in cinema, Khan is a Nietzschean nightmare. Ricardo Montalbán's Khan is a science-grown Übermensch bent on causing interstellar calamity, and arguably captain Kirk's most memorable adversary (Gorn included). What's more scary than a villain designed to be better than you…at everything? Eleven movies in, including an admirable remake from J.J. Abrams, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is still the greatest of them all.—Darren Orf

80. The Secret of Kells Year: 2009 Directors: Tomm Moore, Nora Twomey Set in 8th-Century Ireland, our hero is the 12-year-old apprentice Brendan, who befriends a forest spirit namd Aisling in his quest to protect The Book of Kells from Viking invaders. The Secret of Kells' hand-drawn style gives it a gorgeous and breathtaking visual flair, a charm most of its contemporaries lack.—Josh Jackson

73. The Adventures of Tintin Year: 2009 Director: Steven Spielberg Created by Belgian artist Georges Remi (under the pen name Hergé), the intrepid carrot-topped reporter/sleuth stands as a titan of European comics. But director Steven Spielberg held the film rights for nearly 30 years, waiting for the right moment to give Tintin his cinematic due. The Adventures of Tintin does just that, impressively capturing the spirit of the source material. It's clever in the best sense of the word—from the Tintin mini-adventure embedded in the opening titles to the meticulous attention to details throughout (a quality for which Hergé himself was so admired). As one would expect from a Spielberg-directed adventure, the pacing is “Raiders brisk”—so much so that there was even a little hesitant expectation at film's end as half the audience seemed unsure whether the latest climax was the last.—Michael Burgin

Little Shop of Horrors Year: 1925 Director: Frank Oz Yes, the man who brought Cookie Monster, Miss Piggy and Yoda to life also gave us Audrey II, a blood-thirsty, man-eating plant from outer space. Adapted from an off-Broadway musical, the sci-fi/comedy/horror stars Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia and, of course, Steve Martin as a sadistic dentist. The words “Feed me, Seymour” get creepier and creepier as the movie progresses.—Josh Jackson

32. Days of Heaven Year: 1978 Director: Terrence Malick Terrence Malick recreated the biblical story of Abraham and Sarah as an American myth as large as the southwest it's supposed to take place in. One of the most immediately noticeable aspects of the film is its stunning cinematography. Following the tradition of the French New Wave and other independent American pictures from the ‘70s, director of photography Nestor Almendros rejected artificial lighting as much as he felt he could and the result is a picture that feels like nothing else from the period. With Badlands Malick found out how to make a film, but it was with Days of Heaven that he found his mature style, and since then he's used the same elliptical, minimalist storytelling and improvised scenes in everything he's done.—Sean Gandert

22. Hugo Year: 2011 Director: Martin Scorsese With Hugo, director Martin Scorsese has created a dazzling, wondrous experience, an undeniable visual masterpiece. In his adaptation of Brian Selznick's novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Scorsese weaves together his many passions and concerns: for art, for film, and for fathers and father-figures. He retells the story of a boy (Hugo Cabret, played by Asa Butterfield) in search of a way to complete his father's work. Alongside Hugo's tale is the true story of Georges Méliès (Ben Kingsley), one of the world's first filmmakers.—Shannon Houston
