These rankings reflect the opinion of film critic Daniel Barnes. All films playing in Sacramento area theaters are listed, plus most of the films playing exclusively in the S.F. Bay Area.  Repertory showings get excluded, as they are the superior option wherever available.  Underlined films are on my catchup list.
