  1. The Bergman Trilogy
    After a lifetime of flogging the demons of cosmic despair, Ingmar Bergman, at 88, comes off as lean and vigorous in this fascinating memoir-interview.
  2. Days of Glory
    The ensemble cast shared the best-actor award at the 2006 Cannes film festival -- and rightly so.
  3. The Lives of Others
    Utterly riveting fictional drama.
  4. The Nativity Story
    The Nativity Story is a film of tame picture-book sincerity, but that's not the same thing as devotion. The movie is too tepid to feel, or see, the light.
  5. Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj
    Everything old is old again in this rickety extension of 2002's already rickety "Van Wilder."
  6. 10 Items or Less
    I don't know if it's ickier to assume that writer-director Brad Silberling (Moonlight Mile) thinks the culture-clash jokes he pushes in 10 Items or Less are charming because they're earnest, or because they're tongue-in-cheek. Either way, this sale is void.
  7. The Architect
    Every character in The Architect is crazily stuccoed with crisis.
  8. Turistas
    The movie, with the exception of that lone squirmy surgery scene, is "Hostel" without sadism, thrills, or funky severed-limb F/X. It quickly turns into a very dull escape thriller.
  9. Two Weeks
    The movie's warm advocacy of hospice, with all the dignity such end-of-life care provides, does real, influential good.
  10. Our Daily Bread
    What the activist drama "Fast Food Nation" does with talk and the aid of movie stars, Our Daily Bread, a riveting documentary by Austrian filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter, does even better, with no voice-over and barely a word spoken by the unidentified workers involved in matter-of-fact killing and harvesting.
  11. The Fountain
    I'm as touched and charmed by its failures as I am transfixed, at times, by its successful inventiveness and audacity.
  12. Deck the Halls
    In this year's lump of coal, Matthew Broderick is the control freak who lives for toasty yuletide cheer, and Danny DeVito is the vulgar pest who wants his holiday lights seen from space. The dueling-neighbor crankfest is blah.
  13. Deja Vu
    Déjà Vu is watchable trash, meticulously edited in Scott's skip-stutter style, but there's something ultimately unsatisfying about a thriller that more or less makes up its rules as it goes along.
  14. Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
    Works just like a Tenacious D song. The movie feels giddy and eruptive, dopily enthralled with itself, and more or less made up on the spot.
  15. The History Boys
    The History Boys is as much about the meaning and value of reading and learning as it is about the ho-humness of genital fondling by sir with love.
  16. 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.
  17. Happy Feet
    A moderately adorable, musically wacky, ecologically activist CG family comedy.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Let's Go to Prison
    Nearly laughless.
  19. Candy
    A wildly romanticized Australian druggie drama.
  20. Fast Food Nation
    Naturally, a subject this right-on draws a right-on cast. Kris Kristofferson, Avril Lavigne, and Ethan Hawke pitch in.
  21. For Your Consideration
    Each and every character in Christopher Guest's latest hilarious cultural corrective is something inspiring to behold.
  22. Bobby
    Bobby coasts along on a dread, and sorrow, it doesn't earn.
  23. The Aura
    Ricardo Darín, wearing a mild-mannered expression of emotional remove, plays the unnamed antihero, obsessed with imagining the perfect robbery. The ''aura'' is the clarity with which he sees -- or imagines he sees -- the world in moments preceding an epileptic attack.
  24. Flannel Pajamas
    The hero remains such an exhibitionistically cocky, walled-off jerk that Flannel Pajamas' glib conversational ''candor'' yields no mystery. And that's a problem in two hours of talk.
  25. Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?
    Horton's attempt to authenticate the painting in the face of a hostile art establishment becomes a study in forensics, taste, money, and class warfare.
  26. A Good Year
    Nothing more than a bad harvest.
  27. Harsh Times
    Bale is mesmerizing and Rodriguez keeps up with him as the whole unsafe contraption zooms.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    The Return
    Mellow -- nay, snoozy -- atmospherics trump actual scares, and it makes almost zero sense.
  29. Stranger Than Fiction
    An eminently easy-to-watch piece of one-joke pop japery, is a movie that mimics the I'm-a-character-in-my-own-life metaphysical playfulness of "The Truman Show."
  30. Iraq in Fragments
    The calm poetry of the cinematography offsets the mess of the politics to stunning effect.
