| Billy Elliot | 2000 | 95 | 1 | |
| Moonrise Kingdom | 2012 | 92 | 2 | |
| The Theory of Everything | 2014 | 87 | 3 | - Some of the scenes felt unfinished whose implications were quite important. Great performances, great story, very good film otherwise. The ending suffered a bit. |

| Somewhere | 2010 | 68 | 33 | - Might have been better if it was a series of pictures instead of a movie. |
| Broken Flowers | 2005 | 65 | 35 | |
| Greenberg | 2010 | 65 | 35 | - Half as awkward as Frances Ha. |
| Burn After Reading | 2008 | 62 | 37 | |
| Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy | 2011 | 50 | 38 | - One of the most confusing movies I've seen. Had it been constructed and prsented better, the story lends itself to being something special. Some audiences will appreciate the film in its first viewing, but most will not. That's a failure of the director and producers. It could have been excellent with its top-notch cast. |
