  1. Trolösa
    A domestic tragedy of lacerating vision.
  2. Marooned in Iraq
    Nothing I've read about Iraq or seen on TV in the past few weeks has felt nearly as real and intimate as this commanding fiction.
  3. The Specialist
    This lone, fallen Nazi's obsessive distance from his actions is enough to give The Specialist a lingering chill.
  4. Judy Berlin
    Haunting and hopeful.
  5. The Cockettes
    The Cockettes weren't talented, exactly, yet the bedazzled flakiness of their passion takes you closer than just about any movie has to what was once really meant by the term ''free-spirited.''
  6. Earth
    Even blood, spilled so freely, has a distinctive intensity of red in this beautiful and harrowing film.
  7. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    A sprightly, lovingly researched, rather misty-eyed sports documentary that's steeped in ethnic pride.
  8. Beautiful People
    There's a bravura recklessness to Beautiful People that perfectly fits its subject.
  9. The Story of Us
    Pungent, funny, and surprisingly forceful.
  10. Pipe Dream
    The film satirizes, and celebrates, an idea pivotal to both Hollywood and love: that in a world of impostors, the pretender with the most conviction can become exactly what he pretends to be.
  11. Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale
    As compelling as it is bizarre.
  12. The Day I Became a Woman
    Creates a flow of symbolism so potent, so transporting in its physicality, that its impact all but transcends its righteous liberal ''meaning.''
  13. The Closet
    Cagey, high gloss comedy.
  14. A Time for Drunken Horses
    The nonprofessional cast of Bahman Ghobadi's remarkable, slow, rough edged feature reveals a simple, piercing grimness and determination framed by the gray, icy landscape of Iranian Kurdistan.
  15. The Son's Room
    It takes skill these days, if not nerve, to put a vital, happy nuclear family on screen and to invite us to share in every quiet tremor, every gentle jostle and smile of their steady, deep-flowing contentment.
  16. Bounce
    Watching Bounce, you look at him (Affleck) and believe how much he's got at stake, and you look at Paltrow and know why.
  17. The Tao of Steve
    It's a tiny, sunny character study about a fat guy who's an unlikely chick magnet. And as such it's a pip.
  18. An Affair of Love
    Fonteyne edges closer than most to capturing the mysterious rhythms of liaisons -- pornographique, romantique, and otherwise.
  19. XX/XY
    Emotional presence and a sophisticated understanding of commitment-phobia (as something other than a comedic punchline or an excuse for sex scenes) distinguishes this intense, contained drama, as does the unforced, sensual, and sensitive cinematography of Uta Briesewitz.
  20. Mumford
    Turns the tricks of psychology into duplicitous high play.
  21. City of Ghosts
    Turns out to be a supple, intriguing, and beautifully staged movie. It features Dillon, in his most forceful performance since ''Drugstore Cowboy.''
  22. Late Marriage
    Watch for the director's own mother, Lili Kosashvili, a standout as Zaza's fierce, stately mama.
  23. The Gleaners & I
    Feels delightfully organic, eccentrically rambling, the found artistic collage of a woman who herself loves to collect.
  24. The Believer
    Bean's commitment to serious theological examination is exciting, Gosling's performance is riveting, and this fiery and imperfect feature shines as a demonstration of independent filmmaking at its most uncompromising.
  25. Assassination Tango
    Acting doesn't get more personal, or much greater.
  26. Lumumba
    What matters now, what Lumumba conveys, is the urgent chaos of revolution.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Waking Ned Devine
    Unfolds with such unforced inevitability that absurdity never condescends to sticky adorableness.
  28. U-571
    When the submarine has to dive 400 meters beneath the surface to avoid detection, you can practically feel the water pressure crushing in on the sailors.
  29. Tape
    Linklater has hardly been a slacker this year. I'll take the tricky confrontational babble of Tape over some of the gauzier soliloquies in ''Waking Life,'' but either way, he's a filmmaker in love with the music of talk, and let's bless him for that.
  30. Four Weddings and a Funeral
    Grant is the rare actor who can mix the characteristics of sex appeal and ambivalence in believable, rather than irritating, proportions.
