  1. La Vie en Rose
    Hurtling and impassioned, driven by some of the greatest popular music ever recorded, this wildly overripe and unkempt biopic is a true experience.
  2. You're Gonna Miss Me
    Has the taint of exploitation.
  3. 12:08 East of Bucharest
    12:08 East of Bucharest is a shrewdly built comedy, but the characters are broad-verging-on-cheap unholy hick fools.
  4. Knocked Up
    The very opposite of a storybook romance, and also the very model of a great comedy for our values-driven time.
  5. Gracie
    You miss the knockabout edge of "Bend It Like Beckham" -- though the ending, in its Pavlovian sports-flick way, pumps you up.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    Mr. Brooks begins promisingly, but it grows steadily more preposterous as it goes along, becoming the first feel-good serial-killer movie.
  7. Crazy Love
    The tale itself is so spectacularly perverse, and the film stays so authentically close to the personalities involved, that you don't feel dirty -- you feel cleansed.

    • 67 Critic Score
    Day Watch
    The sequel is a minor wackjob head trip.
  9. Ten Canoes
    A marvel of warm collaboration and shared jokes about husbands and wives, shot both in dreamscape color and pristine black and white.
  10. Pierrepoint
    This measured bio-production might be viewed as a lesser companion piece to "Vera Drake" -- although in the case of Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman, all the period-piece tastefulness makes for a story more instructive than emotionally tangible.
  11. 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.
  12. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    Knightley's Elizabeth becomes a pirate captain this time. You know a franchise has run its course when it has a buccaneer heroine who looks as if she'd hate to get her face smudged.
  13. Angel-A
    Angel-A shows how director Luc Besson can be French in a way that even the French might despise...Quel ick. And très tedious.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Golden Door
    A sluggish procedural on what it was like to make the journey to Ellis Island back in the day.
  15. Paprika
    Fantasy leaks into reality.
  16. Steel City
    Steel City could have used more rhythmic drive, but if Jun keeps weaving together characters this compelling, he could be a major film artist in the making.
  17. The Boss of It All
    This satire of empty-suit capitalism has scalding moments, but most of it suggests Being There meets The Office gibberized into theater of the absurd.
  18. Shrek the Third
    I love the princess squad.
  19. Brooklyn Rules
    The boys-in-the-Italian-hood clichés were penned by "Sopranos" scribe Terence Winter, so they have snap, if not freshness.
  20. Even Money
    An overstructured, overacted indie drama about gambling, addiction, and the sawdusty romanticism of old-time magicians.
  21. Severance
    The chintzy characters, hair-raising deaths, and one spectacular rocket-launcher joke aren't enough to give "Hostel" a run for its blood.
  22. Fay Grim
    The faux espionage plot, with its winks at terrorism, is really just a convoluted plea for the relevance of precious indie artistes (i.e., Hal Hartley).
  23. The Wendell Baker Story
    Feels like an attempt to rebottle the postmodern fizz of Wes Anderson's "Bottle Rocket." I wish instead they'd put a stopper in it.
  24. Hollywood Dreams
    Jaglom's scruffy style doesn't carry it through. He puts enough toxic insincerity on screen to singe, though.
  25. 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.
  26. 28 Weeks Later
    Excels at creating a keen, creepy sense of a civilization stopped dead in its tracks -- vaporized, almost, except for those disemboweled bodies left still undisposed.
  27. Delta Farce
    Here's a sobering thought: If every war gets the comedy it deserves, could Delta Farce, a strenuously unfunny "Three Amigos" knockoff, be our M*A*S*H?
  28. Georgia Rule
    A clunky family-therapy soaper.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    The Ex
    A painful comedy that reduces the "Garden State" star to pratfalls while many comic A-teamers around him (including Paul Rudd and Amy Adams) play idiots.
  30. Provoked: A True Story
    Based on a true story, this Indian variation on a theme of "The Burning Bed" emphasizes the psychological freedom the inmate finds behind bars.
