  1. Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus
    Shainberg reduces this most disturbing of all photographers to a portraitist of Halloween.
  2. Come Early Morning
    The baby-voiced costar of "Chasing Amy" proves an effortless filmmaker, turning Lucy’s journey into the awakening of a soul.
  3. Copying Beethoven
    Holland's empurpled bio-fantasy is hooey with an anachronistic feminist slant from start to finish.
  4. Fuck
    Examination of one of the English language's most useful utterances and why the sound packs such a friggin' wallop.
  5. Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
    When Baron Cohen works without a net, he flies.
  6. Flushed Away
    Flushed Away lacks the action-contraption dottiness of a Wallace and Gromit adventure, but it hits its own sweet spot of demented delight.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
    This Styrofoam snowman of a sequel overdoses on its own candy-cane-colored sugary cheer.
  8. Volver
    The movie opens as borderline Hitchcock, echoing the tone of the filmmaker's bravura "Bad Education" (2004), and then turns into a kind of overly conceptualized Tennessee Williams.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Wondrous Oblivion
    Wondrous Oblivion goes awry in its sloppy racial drama, and although the cricket-training montages are good, they're still training montages, and this is just that kind of overfamiliar movie.
  10. Babel
    Measured in anything other than biblical cubits, the sum of Babel's many parts turns out to be a picture that suggests Americans ought to stay home and treat their nannies better.
  11. Catch a Fire
    With the same affinity for stories of culture clash he showed in "The Quiet American" and "Rabbit-Proof Fence," director Phillip Noyce embraces the tale with gusto.
  12. Saw III
    Admit it: It's not every horror film that can make you feel preached at and slimed at the same time.
  13. Climates
    Exquisitely structured, pitiless study of a middle-aged man trapped in a stagnant emotional weather pattern.
  14. Shut Up & Sing
    Through it all, Natalie Maines' decision to shirk humility, to stick by her guns, to the point that the group returns to that London concert venue in 2006 and she utters the same joke again, becomes a feisty and inspiring act of something there is only one word for: patriotism.
  15. Death of a President
    The movie IS a provocation, but not a glib or ideologically myopic one.
  16. Cocaine Cowboys
    Cocaine Cowboys, which at times seems like it could have been edited by someone on coke, comes at you as a vast bloody river of underworld information.
  17. 20 Centimeters
    Here's yet another self-consciously ''Almodóvarian'' confection, studded with small odes to the glory of self-creation.
  18. Absolute Wilson
    Surprisingly square portrait of avant-garde artist and director Robert Wilson.
  19. The Bridge
    The Bridge crosses a disquieting line.
  20. Marie Antoinette
    Coppola's stranded royal suggests that at heart, Marie Antoinette was just a simple girl who wanted to have fun, and got her head handed to her.
  21. Running with Scissors
    Watching Running With Scissors the movie instead of reading Running With Scissors the best-selling memoir by Augusten Burroughs is like running with a spatula, or maybe some weird toast tongs.
  22. Flags of Our Fathers
    The trouble is, he's preaching to the choir -- or, at least, to a culture, profoundly influenced by Tom Brokaw's "The Greatest Generation" and Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan," that has already absorbed the lesson that ''the Good War,'' while it may have been noble, was never less than hell.
  23. Flicka
    As for our heroine (Lohman), her archetypal struggle with crusty Pa (uncrusty Tim McGraw) feels attitude-heavy and life-lesson-light.
  24. The Prestige
    The Prestige isn't art, but it reaps a lot of fun out of the question, How did they do that?
  25. Sleeping Dogs Lie
    Hamilton, in her movie debut, is a find: the kinkstress next door.
  26. Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple
    The Peoples Temple congregation was sizably African-American. But when it comes to how those followers turned into a zombie Kool-Aid death cult, Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple leaves you with more questions than you went in with.
  27. Requiem
    Requiem is drawn from an incident that was also the basis for last year's demon-seed hit, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."
  28. Sweet Land
    Sweet Land is a movie of extraordinary tenderness, in which Reaser and Guinee, using a language of looks, make you happy to think about what love once might have been.
  29. 51 Birch Street
    A warm and honest portrait of a marriage at its most mysterious, and ordinary.
  30. The Grudge 2
    Once again, we're treated to loosely aligned scenes of half-formed characters getting a faceful of director Takashi Shimizu's croaking, implacable, and, yes, still scary housewife-geist.
