  1. Day Night Day Night
    A stunt masquerading as a statement.
  2. Away from Her
    Munro's stark lily needed none of this gilding.
  3. Spider-Man 3
    Spider-Man 3 has terrific moments, but after the danger and majesty and romantic brio of "Spider-Man 2," those adrenalized rooftop ballets feel, more than ever, like sequences.
  4. Lucky You
    Really, all this movie is about is the joy of checks, calls, folds, rivers, and the acquired thrill of knowing what those words mean.
  5. Paris, je t'aime
    Anthology films usually work better in theory than execution, but this feature parade of shorts is a blithe, worldly, and enchanting exception.
  6. The Treatment
    The filmmaking is rudimentary in The Treatment, Oren Rudavsky's adaptation of Daniel Menaker's novel, but the feeling for the patient-and-shrink dynamic is authentic.
  7. Waitress
    A wee romantic charmer, a delectable Dixie screwball romp that never loses its spry sense of discovery.
  8. Jindabyne
    Jindabyne -- named for the lakeside town in which the troubles spill -- can't contain all that the filmmakers want to throw in. Best to keep glued to the taut performance by Laura Linney.

    The Condemned
    "Battle Royale," if you've never seen it, is a fantastically sadistic and unapologetically brutal Japanese film from 2000 about miscreants dropped on a jungle island with orders to kill each other for a reality TV show. The Condemned is pretty much the same thing with half the satirical wit and twice the number of wrestlers.
  10. The Invisible
    Chatwin comes off as prickly and annoyed -- they should have called this "Perturbia."
  11. Next
    An immediately forgettable action pic directed with a blowtorch by Lee Tamahori.
  12. Snow Cake
    An awfully tidy, infernally sparkly study in skewed blessings, made manifest by Committed Acting from Sigourney Weaver.
  13. Les amitiés maléfiques
    While the young people chatter about life and literature with sometimes overbearing self-satisfaction, the astute filmmaker observes their pretentious gum-flapping with a mixture of amusement, compassion, and wised-up rue.
  14. Zoo
    You could wander into this poetic documentary willing to be sympathetic toward its subject -- men who have sex with horses -- and still find Zoo cryptic and borderline bogus.
  15. Triad Election
    A muscular sequel to To's riveting 2005 gangster picture "Election."
  16. Hot Fuzz
    In the very funny cop comedy Hot Fuzz, overachieving London police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) commits a very British sin: He's too good.
  17. Vacancy
    Vacancy is a schlock surprise: a no-frills motel-hell slasher film -- with a bit of soul.
  18. Fracture
    Fracture is working on us, playing us, but that's its pleasure. It makes overwrought manipulation seem more than a basic instinct.
  19. In the Land of Women
    Combines hugs and ''pain'' and dialogue so fakey-cute it makes your ears hurt.
  20. The Valet
    A satisfying contraption of twists, missteps, and blithe repartee that produces old-fashioned, honestly earned guffaws.
  21. Stephanie Daley
    The scary culminating flashback, in which Stephanie gives birth -- in a public restroom, on a high school ski trip -- is a marvel of authentic disturbance.
  22. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
    The plot can't be summarized: Let's just say that crazy s--- happens, and occasionally, you laugh.
  23. Pathfinder
    Pathfinder's moody, muddy look is courtesy of music-video director Marcus Nispel, who doesn't distinguish between people and tree trunks when it comes to emotional content.
  24. Perfect Stranger
    A crappy thriller gussied up with a chrome-plated veneer.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Everything's Gone Green
    The story -- is slight, but an appealing cast and lots of scenic leafery make Green feel fresh.
  26. Lonely Hearts
    Lonely Hearts never locates the key to the killers' bloody bond.
  27. Year of the Dog
    I mean no impertinence when I say that as a portrait of love and grief, writer-director Mike White's exceptional film Year of the Dog deserves the same admiration accorded Joan Didion's exceptional memoir "The Year of Magical Thinking."
  28. Slow Burn
    A strange, sprained, but sprightly fusion of "The Usual Suspects" and the "Tragic Mulatto," Slow Burn wants badly to turn its standard neo-noir into a nuanced racial chiaroscuro.
  29. Private Fears in Public Places
    The grand old filmmaker frames each scene like a fine painting. And fake snow falls with happy artificiality between rueful vignettes.
  30. Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis
    A love poem to the New York City of the '50s and '60s, when Smith, the visionary of camp (Andy Warhol stole from him), more or less invented performance art.
