  1. U-571
    When the submarine has to dive 400 meters beneath the surface to avoid detection, you can practically feel the water pressure crushing in on the sailors.
  2. The Golden Bowl
    There's no mirth, and precious little passion, left in this house.
  3. Saved!
    The director-cowriter, Brian Dannelly, has great fun tweaking the way American Christianity has been born again as a commodified, suburbanized, pop-saturated belief system.
  4. Goodbye to All That
    Writer-director Angus MacLachlan also penned the acclaimed 2005 indie "Junebug," and he aims for the same kind of gentle absurdity here.
  5. Sky High
    The flick is best in its bittier moments (watch for the stellar cameos), and there's nothing to trouble the tots.
  6. Wakefield
    Cranston is utterly hypnotic as a certain kind of American male on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
  7. Major Dundee (re-release)
    If you want to see the missing link between John Wayne's squint and Clint Eastwood's sneer, look no further than Charlton Heston in Major Dundee.
  8. Alex Strangelove
    Subtle it is not; Strangelove can feel aggressively self-aware, nouveau John Hughes with a pocket full of f-bombs and carefully worked one-liners.
  9. 5x2
    Feminist sanctimony, it turns out, looks much the same forward and backward.
  10. Romeo + Juliet
    Romeo & Juliet is a series of spectacular production designs posing as a motion picture.

    Last Exit to Brooklyn
    Aficionados of fine acting will find Last Exit to Brooklyn worth renting for the complex performances of Lang and Leigh. But, with its vague and unresolved story and themes, the movie remains a blur.
  12. The Five-Year Engagement
    A lively, original, and scattershot-hilarious ramble of a Judd Apatow production.
  13. Free Guy
    In a genre where winky self-awareness has become standard-issue, Free might have come off as manic and hollow; instead, it has fun having a heart.
  14. About Last Night
    In About Last Night, Hart blows up, to hilariously oversize proportions, the eternal male desire for freedom. He’s raunch on wheels.
  15. Red Hill
    A serving of "True Blood's" Ryan Kwanten in his native accent is the chief selling point of this picturesque, contentedly imitative Australian Western/thriller/Coen-brothers homage, the feature debut of writer-director Patrick Hughes.
  16. Micmacs
    Jeunet maintains a firm control of his dreamscape creation, drawing on influences as varied as "Toy Story," "Children of Paradise," and TV's "Mission: Impossible."
  17. Una
    Una’s raw, deeply dis­comfiting dance between obsession and exploitation isn’t easy to watch by any metric; they make it hard to look away.
  18. Fear of a Black Hat
    Fear of a Black Hat never achieves the dizzying cinema verite swirl that made Spinal Tap such a timeless satire. Many of the jokes are too literal (a goof on Vanilla Ice named Vanilla Sherbet). Still, Cundieff has what nearly every commentator on the rap scene has lacked: a first-class bull detector.
  19. Incident at Loch Ness
    Incident at Loch Ness, unfortunately, is a riddle wrapped in a hoax stuffed inside a crock.
  20. Labyrinth of Lies
    Fehling gives a commanding physical performance as he transitions from ambition to despair to, finally, resolve.
  21. Centurion
    The plot's pretty thin -- even for a gladiator movie. Fortunately, when it comes to crunchy impalings and messy arterial geysers, Marshall's a maestro.
  22. The Help
    The Help has a saucy, humorous side.
  23. William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe
    His pluck and chutzpah shine through.
  24. Loggerheads
    Kirkman is shrewd enough to coax a wistful performance out of pretty boy Kip Pardue.
  25. Annabelle: Creation
    Annabelle: Creation isn’t a terrible film. Not exactly. The set-up is promising, and it offers some decent early jump scares. But eventually the thinness of the material becomes overwhelmingly obvious.
  26. Stuck on You
    Has a fractured fairy-tale charm, even if it isn't a nonstop laugh riot.
  27. The Names of Love
    For those who wish to decode The Names of Love, there's a sharp commentary on French prejudices, character types, history, and culture embedded in Michel Leclerc's droll autobiographical French comedy.
  28. Fierce Creatures
    Mostly a mess: toothless when it should be nasty, not so much madcap as merely frantic.
  29. Bug
    The enjoyably icky heart of Bug is still contained within the airless, increasingly ''bug-proofed'' room that becomes Agnes and Peter's whole world.
  30. Oswald's Ghost
    In Oswald's Ghost, his vast chronicle of the JFK assassination and its cultural aftermath, Stone uses little-seen footage to assemble the events of Nov. 22, 1963, with a fascinating present-tense density.
