  1. Waltz with Bashir
    Waltz With Bashir has transcended the definitions of ''cartoon'' or ''war documentary'' to be classified as its own brilliant invention.
  2. Pride & Prejudice
    Keira Knightley, in a witty, vibrant, altogether superb performance, plays Lizzie's sparky, questing nature as a matter of the deepest personal sacrifice.
  3. Man on Wire
    The gorgeous music includes Ralph Vaughan Williams' wafting tone poem ''The Lark Ascending'' -- apt in describing an artist who might well be part bird.
  4. Rachel Getting Married
    A triumph -- Demme's finest work since "The Silence of the Lambs," and a movie that tingles with life.
  5. Once
    Until Once, I'm not sure that I'd ever seen a small-scale, nonstylized, kitchen-sink drama in which the songs take on the majesty and devotion of a musical dream.
  6. Tulpan
    If you see only one comic love story from Kazakhstan this year, choose this prize-winning honey.
  7. Brokeback Mountain
    Brokeback Mountain is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center. It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story.
  8. Persepolis
    The movie sparkles with witty self-awareness.
  9. Knocked Up
    The very opposite of a storybook romance, and also the very model of a great comedy for our values-driven time.
  10. Letters from Iwo Jima
    Clint Eastwood's profound, magisterial, and gripping companion piece to his ambitious meditation on wartime image and reality, "Flags of Our Fathers."
  11. Fat Girl
    With the pitiless, devastating Fat Girl, Catherine Breillat puts men and women, boys and girls on notice: When fantasy, hypocrisy, and manipulation mix in a wet, sandy place, you dive into sex at your own risk.
  12. Murderball
    The filmmaking is as strong as the subject matter, with an elegant structure.
  13. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
    The conclusion of Peter Jackson's masterwork is passionate and literate, detailed and expansive, and it's conceived with a risk-taking flair for old-fashioned movie magic at its most precious.
  14. The Wrestler
    The Wrestler is like "Rocky" made by the Scorsese of "Mean Streets." It's the rare movie fairy tale that's also a bravura work of art.
  15. Zodiac
    Zodiac never veers from its stoically gripping, police-blotter tone, yet it begins to take on the quality of a dream.
  16. The Savages
    The Savages is terrific -- a movie of uncommon appreciation for the nature and nurture that go into making us who we are, a perfectly calibrated drama both compassionate and unsentimental.
  17. I Love You, Man
    By far the best Judd Apatow comedy that Judd Apatow had nothing at all to do with.
  18. Anvil! The Story of Anvil
    It's a hilarious, and unexpectedly moving, documentary about the greatest metal band you've probably never heard of.
  19. Casino Royale
    Relaunches the series by doing something I wouldn't have thought possible: It turns Bond into a human being again -- a gruffly charming yet volatile chap who may be the swank king stud of the Western world, but who still has room for rage, fear, vulnerability, love.
  20. A History of Violence
    David Cronenberg's brilliant movie -- without a doubt one of the very best of the year.
  21. The Girlfriend Experience
    The Girlfriend Experience is one of Steven Soderbergh's bite-size, semi-improvised, shot-on-DV doodles (like Bubble or Full Frontal), and it's the best one he's made.
  22. Inside Deep Throat
    Nimble, engrossing, and journalistically eye-opening, a movie that pulls into focus 30 years of porn in America. It also pulls no punches.
  23. The Ballad of Jack and Rose
    Miller's theme is innocence, the loss of it, and the reclamation of equanimity in the face of that loss, and the music she makes is haunting.
  24. Look at Me
    The wry filmmaker has created an urbane society of family and friends as ridiculously pretentious and hypocritical as they are cultured, accomplished, and posh.
  25. Fever Pitch
    It's been a while since a movie made the game of love this winning.
  26. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
    A deeply straightforward yet beautifully crafted documentary.
  27. Layer Cake
    Fast, convulsive, and densely exciting new British gangster thriller.
  28. Lords of Dogtown
    Lords of Dogtown is a docudrama, rare in its grit and authenticity, that also strives for the mythical youth-rebel excitement of something like "8 Mile."
  29. Batman Begins
    A confidently original, engrossing interpretation.
  30. Me and You and Everyone We Know
    Definition eludes the delicate pleasures of this marvelous, idiosyncratic movie collage.
