  1. Ballast
    The final shot, of the three characters now united, may be the quietest affirmation of life I've ever seen in a movie, and one of the truest.
  2. United 93
    Pulling the bandage of sentiment cleanly away from oozing concepts like ''heroism'' and ''our nation's war on terror'' in the aftermath of recent wounds, here's a drama about the most politically charged crisis of our time that grants the dignity of autonomy to every soul involved.
  3. Two Lovers
    James Gray's Two Lovers really is a '70s movie, in the mode of such raw, unfiltered character studies as "The Panic in Needle Park," "Wanda," and "Fat City."
  4. The Bourne Ultimatum
    A spectacular windup toy of a thriller -- a contraption made by an artist.
  5. Gladiator
    What matters for today's hero is the good fight, and Gladiator KOs us with a doozy.
  6. The Host
    Bong Joon-ho's wildly entertaining saga should become the hip, thinking-person's monster movie of choice.
  7. Bruno
    The movie is a toxic dart aimed at the spangly new heart of American hypocrisy: our fake-tolerant, fake-charitable, fake-liberated-yet-still madly-closeted fame culture.
  8. Humpday
    Anna's thoughts matter because, as played by the wonderfully nuanced newcomer Alycia Delmore, the no-bull responses of this perceptive woman are a key to Humpday's sly, wised-up feminist outlook.
  9. Capote
    Capote honors its subject by doing just what Truman Capote did. It teases, fascinates, and haunts.
  10. Bride & Prejudice
    Under the direction of "Bend It Like Beckham's" Gurinder Chadha, this festively busy and exuberantly multicultural charmer is its own intriguingly postmodern creation.
  11. The Nomi Song
    Forget Devo, Nico, Bowie, or Beefheart: The most mesmerizing freak show in the history of rock & roll was Klaus Nomi.
  12. Up and Down
    Up and Down captures Prague life with a fervor that's comical but a longing that's serious; no one is easy to pigeonhole.
  13. Intimate Stories
    But while this piquant, tapas-like movie (a 2003 film- festival favorite only now being released) asserts that landscape is a kind of destiny from which one cannot escape, Sorin takes delighted, serious interest in how far a person can advance psychologically, even if all roads lead back to a home at the end of the world.
  14. Millions
    This sincere, delicate, and intrinsically religious comedy may also become that most unexpected of blessings - Danny Boyle's first family classic.
  15. Don't Move
    Told in a tricky flashback mode that's vivid even with a few too many temporal kinks, Don't Move is the sort of thing that Claude Chabrol was once praised for making with more pretension and a lot less less juice.
  16. Kung Fu Hustle
    All of Kung Fu Hustle is like that: You don't just watch it, you ride with it, laughing all the way.
  17. Winter Solstice
    A realistic drama that looks and feels as inevitably true and moving as a good documentary.
  18. Palindromes
    Then there's Todd Solondz's Palindromes, which is that rare event: a memorable provocation.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Unleashed
    Bounding out of the gate like a greyhound, Unleashed needs only its first 30 seconds or so to elevate itself well above the average action potboiler.
  22. Kings & Queen
    Gripping, highly original.
  23. Madagascar
    Dishes up some very corny jokes, but the images have a brighter-than-life vivacity.
  24. Howl's Moving Castle
    The worldview, the sense of childlike fun shaded with adult melancholy, and the joyful, serene attention to visual oddity and wordless beauty could only be made in Japan. And, specifically, made by Hayao Miyazaki.
  25. The Talent Given Us
    A film of uncommon originality.
  26. War of the Worlds
    An attack-of-the-aliens disaster film crafted with sinister technological grandeur -- a true popcorn apocalypse.
  27. On the Outs
    On the Outs parses the hopes and terrors of blasted lives with an empathy that never cheapens into pity. The movie wounds as much as it heals, and that's its true power.
  28. Wedding Crashers
    Funny, ungirdled romp - a buddy picture about buddies who actually know what women want.
  29. Hustle & Flow
    The home-studio recording sequences in Hustle & Flow are funky, rowdy, and indelible. Brewer gives us the pleasure of watching characters create music from the ground up.
  30. 2046
    There are many places a visitor may go astray in 2046 -- places where the filmmaker appears to be a bit at loose ends too. Still, Wong's invitation -- ''Let's get lost'' -- is irresistible.
