  1. Hancock
    Hancock can revel in schmuckery, of course, because you and I and cute kids and peaceful oldies worldwide know in advance that there's no way on Hollywood's green earth Will Smith will ever play someone seriously, dangerously unsavory.
  2. WALL-E
    It whisks you to another world, then makes it every inch our own.
  3. Wanted
    Best of all, there's a lot of Jolie, barrels blazing. The star's fearlessly sexy hauteur is unique in the biz today. And when she works it in Wanted, she kills, bullets optional.
  4. Gunnin' for That #1 Spot
    Glosses over the kids' lives off the court.
  5. Trumbo
    That's Trumbo's message -- that the true victim was America.
  6. The Last Mistress
    Breillat, the flamethrower who made "Romance" and "Fat Girl," artfully twists period-piece drama to suit her provocative modern notions about sex, gender roles, and power.
  7. Get Smart
    The unexpected star is Hathaway, looking cool as a runway model in the role originated by Barbara Feldon, lithe as a (pink) panther, and displaying great comic timing.
  8. The Love Guru
    Myers is trying for another of his endearingly hormonal imp-egomaniacs, but hidden behind a wavy beard, a wax-curled mustache, and an astoundingly ugly squashed fake nose, he's a little too grotesque.
  9. Brick Lane
    One of those feminist cries in the dark in which the heroine, a saintly sufferer, is more admirable than interesting.
  10. Kit Kittredge: An American Girl
    A smart, playful, informative pleasure.
  11. The Happening
    Some sure symptoms: The movie demonstrates a smart movie geek's obsession with the rhythms and gory details of horror storytelling, undermined by a pompous insistence on spiritual lessons of the tritest kind.
  12. The Incredible Hulk
    The Incredible Hulk is just a luridly reductive and violent B movie -- one that clears a bar that hadn't been set very high.
  13. Chris & Don. A Love Story
    Their love story was inevitably complicated. And so is the documentary Chris & Don: A Love Story -- not simply a love letter to love -- by Guido Santi and Tina Mascara.
  14. My Winnipeg
    Both the definition of ''my'' and the definition of ''Winnipeg'' become profoundly fluid in this exquisite ''docu-fantasia'' (Maddin's term), an entrancing riffle through the olde curiosity shoppe of the filmmaker's psyche.
  15. Encounters at the End of the World
    The stunning images aren't enough for Herzog, though. He wants us to see how these quirky researchers, in their lust to explore, are acting out a drive as primitive as nature: the need to break away from the world in order to find it.
  16. Kung Fu Panda
    Light and goofy, yet the fight scenes, which are the heart of the film, are lickety-split mad fun.
  17. You Don't Mess with the Zohan
    Forget "Monty Python," You Don't Mess With the Zohan is a circus that never really flies.
  18. The Go-Getter
    The Go-Getter travels, but it doesn't go anywhere.
  19. Miss Conception
    Graham is charming, but Miss Conception is a cloddish biological-clock bedroom farce.
  20. Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan
    Quite grand, quite exotic, David Lean-style epic.
  21. Mother of Tears
    As a lissome art restorer, Asia Argento (the director's daughter) comes off as the sanest human on screen, which is pretty scary.
  22. The Promotion
    The Promotion edges toward some pretty bleak stuff. Then it steps back and laughs, like an office slacker.
  23. Bigger Stronger Faster*
    Bigger, Stronger, Faster is a portrait of a culture that claims to hate steroids but may, by now, be too pumped to do much about it.
  24. The Foot Fist Way
    Not short on broad physical humor. But Simmons is a brilliantly detailed grotesque capable of withstanding comparison to his most obvious inspiration, Ricky Gervais' "Office" boss David Brent.
  25. Savage Grace
    The director, Tom Kalin, stages acid duels, but he should have provided more psychological structure. Though Moore, a great actress, turns fury into verbal music, we're never quite sure what's driving her.
  26. Sex and the City
    A movie that taps directly back into the show's primal appeal, which is the sweet, sad, saucy delight of sharing these women's company.
  27. The Strangers
    Bryan Bertino, stages The Strangers' early scenes with spooky panache...But then comes the blood, the shrieking midnight chase scenes, the anything-goes over-the-top-ness. In other words, everything that we liked the movie for not being.
  28. The Unknown Woman
    Russian-born Xenia Rappoport gives it her tragic-heroine all as an abused Ukraine prostitute-turned-sneaky housemaid in Italy in The Unknown Woman.
  29. Stuck
    Stuart Gordon, the mostly under-the-radar director of "Re-Animator," pops back into view with this amusing trifle -- a piece of scuzzy tabloid noir.
  30. The Children of Huang Shi
    It's like "Schindler's List" crossed with "The Sound of Music," and Roger Spottiswoode directs it in a stiff, lifeless, utterly dated style of international squareness.
