  1. Tell Them Who You Are
    Beneath its exploration of fatherly distance, this is really a portrait of why cranks make better artists than earnest nice guys.
  2. Crash
    The stunning, must-see drama Crash is proof that words have not lost the ability to shock in our anesthetized society.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    House of Wax
    Except for when Paris is on screen giving us the winking sex eye, Wax is just a museum of gory, joyless, easy shocks.
  4. Kingdom of Heaven
    Scott, working from a script by William Monahan, is so busy balancing our sympathies, making sure no one gets offended, that he has made a pageant of war that would have gotten a thumbs-up from Eleanor Roosevelt.
  5. Jiminy Glick in Lalawood
    In his curdled-butterball way, Jiminy Glick may be the most acidic showbiz send-up since Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton. This movie, though it has its moments, is a pedestal he didn't need.
  6. Mysterious Skin
    Mysterious Skin dawdles more than it flows, but it comes alive whenever Araki, hovering between tragedy and voyeurism, reveals how sex can tear lives to pieces.
  7. Brothers
    We do live in a fraught world of interconnections, Bier makes clear, and what happens far away matters, in unexpected ways, close to home.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Up for Grabs
    I say the movie is infuriatingly unfair to Hayashi; others will cry foul for Popov. See it with an umpire.
  9. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
    At selected moments the Pee Wee's Playhouse-scaled visual goofiness and flights of thespian bravura in this long-awaited movie adaptation of Douglas Adams' goofy-wise cult classic are in perfect celestial harmony with the existential tomfoolery of Adams' peerless (and peerlessly Monty Python-British) creation.
  10. xXx: State of the Union
    This is a B movie rooted in gut-level stirrings of power and retaliation.
  11. 3-Iron
    3-Iron is like a Raymond Carver story that slowly, inexorably takes on the dimensions of a ghostly fairy tale.
  12. Death of a Dynasty
    An amiably raucous, scorched-earth mockumentary.
  13. Funny Ha Ha
    Andrew Bujalski's Funny Ha Ha, an ebullient sliver of a movie, follows a group of men and women in their early 20s, and for once the un-dialogue dialogue doesn't come off as an affectation.
  14. The Holy Girl
    The blessings of salvation have rarely felt so mixed, the parameters of Lolita-hood so elusive - which is exactly Martel's specialty.
  15. Ladies in Lavender.
    His (Charles Dance) cinematic style mixes the scent of mothballs with that of the lavender in which these ladies are preserved.
  16. The Interpreter
    An elegant adventure of a different kind.
  17. A Lot Like Love
    A Lot Like Love is a lot like a romantic comedy, except that all that's keeping these two kids apart is the trivially insufferable movie they're in.
  18. King's Ransom
    Generic hip-hop soundtrack? Check. Aerial stock footage of milieu? Check. Hardy-har homophobia and misogyny? Check. Emasculated sub-Gump white dude played by Jay Mohr? Double check.
  19. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
    A deeply straightforward yet beautifully crafted documentary.
  20. The Game of Their Lives
    Coaching from the same playbook with which they made "Rudy" and "Hoosiers," director David Anspaugh and screenwriter Angelo Pizzo create a reverent fable.
  21. Madison
    Director and co-writer William Bindley engages every move in the underdog playbook, including, but not limited to, the time the good citizens of Bedford Falls chipped in to make up George Bailey's shortfall in "It's a Wonderful Life."
  22. One Missed Call
    One Missed Call is so unoriginal that the movie could almost be a parody of J-horror tropes, yet Miike, for a while at least, stages it with a dread-soaked visual flair that allows you to enjoy being manipulated.
  23. The Amityville Horror
    Extraordinarily faithful to the spirit of that creaky, derivative, fly-infested, don't-go-in-the-attic boofest.
  24. House of D
    An overly picaresque first feature written and directed by David Duchovny, who also co-stars.
  25. Torremolinos 73
    Has the dubious distinction of being just about the mildest porno comedy ever made. It's like something the teenage Pedro Almodóvar might have written to shock his 10th-grade creative writing teacher.
  26. The Year of the Yao
    A skillful and winning piece of honest booster portraiture.
  27. Palindromes
    Then there's Todd Solondz's Palindromes, which is that rare event: a memorable provocation.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    State Property 2
    State Property 2 is no more three-dimensional than your average brand-name-laden hip-hop video.
  29. Sahara
    This insanely busy, exceedingly long, and sometimes endearingly preposterous rendering has simply gotten the directions reversed in its insistence on sticking only to where men-who-make-adventure-flicks have gone before.
  30. Fever Pitch
    It's been a while since a movie made the game of love this winning.
