  1. Monster House
    Kenan directs with a zingy sense of kids, comedy, fright, and visual perspective. But the movie also shimmers and shakes in all its motion-capture animated beauty with the slyly deep sensibilities of executive producer Robert Zemeckis.
  2. Idlewild
    Idlewild is a romp, a ticket to rowdy good times.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Lassie
    About as good as a Lassie movie can be.
  4. Little Children
    A jolting, artfully made drama set in and around a suburban playground somewhere between "American Beauty" and "In the Bedroom" on America's psychic highway.
  5. Requiem
    Requiem is drawn from an incident that was also the basis for last year's demon-seed hit, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."
  6. Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
    When Baron Cohen works without a net, he flies.
  7. Climates
    Exquisitely structured, pitiless study of a middle-aged man trapped in a stagnant emotional weather pattern.
  8. Come Early Morning
    The baby-voiced costar of "Chasing Amy" proves an effortless filmmaker, turning Lucy’s journey into the awakening of a soul.
  9. For Your Consideration
    Each and every character in Christopher Guest's latest hilarious cultural corrective is something inspiring to behold.
  10. 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.
  11. Charlotte's Web
    What hooks you from the start is Dakota Fanning's unfussy passion as Fern.
  12. The Dead Girl
    Moncrieff pushes a view of women as victims that might create its own pornography of masochism if it didn't touch so many authentic shattered nerve endings.
  13. Mafioso [re-release]
    Mafioso does more than cast its fascinating shadow over "The Godfather." It captures, in a stark yet haunting way, the indelible fact that no man is born a mobster.
  14. The Namesake
    Moving and marvelous new cross-cultural family saga.
  15. Offside
    Jafar Panahi's wonderfully funny, outspoken shaggy-dog story, a light counterweight to his sadder 2000 feminist drama "The Circle."
  16. After the Wedding
    Talented filmmaker Susanne Bier (Brothers), armed with an outstanding compositional sense, keeps control over the storms of melodrama that swirl in this rich weepie.
  17. The Hoax
    Gere is terrific at suggesting the kind of addictive cocktail of excitement, panic, chutzpah, creativity, and naked hunger for fame and megabucks that might inspire such big, fat lies.
  18. The TV Set
    If only for the comedy glory of Sigourney Weaver as a TV network president who confuses acid reflux with gut instinct, this very smart, very funny movie about the making of a network sitcom is a cut-glass gem of a showbiz conceit.
  19. 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."
  20. The Valet
    A satisfying contraption of twists, missteps, and blithe repartee that produces old-fashioned, honestly earned guffaws.
  21. Triad Election
    A muscular sequel to To's riveting 2005 gangster picture "Election."
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. Paprika
    Fantasy leaks into reality.
  25. Ocean's Thirteen
    In a world ruled by process, is compassion still real? Or is it just another scam? In Ocean's Thirteen, it is deviously, and merrily, both.
  26. Crazy Love
    The tale itself is so spectacularly perverse, and the film stays so authentically close to the personalities involved, that you don't feel dirty -- you feel cleansed.
  27. Rescue Dawn
    Out of a harrowing story set in a foreign thicket, Herzog has found American beauty.
  28. Interview
    Any doubts as to whether Sienna Miller is a gifted actress should be laid to rest by Interview.
  29. Talk to Me
    A rowdy, richly offbeat biopic.
  30. Hairspray
    A fizzy and delirious high-camp message-movie musical that may just turn out to be the happiest movie of the summer.
