  1. Big Fan
    The movie is an unblinking look at the hidden (or perhaps not so hidden) pathology of American sports mania.
  2. The Maid
    Raquel's devotion to her employer is barbed with hatred, need, and an insecurity she manifests through constant tiny acts of sabotage that would be funny if they weren't also so chilling -- bordering on psychotic.
  3. Collapse
    You may want to dispute Ruppert, but more than that you'll want to hear him, because what he says -- right or wrong, prophecy or paranoia -- takes up residence in your mind.
  4. Vincere
    Mezzogiorno (Love in the Time of Cholera) plays Dalser with the kind of fervent intensity once seen in silent films.
  5. No One Knows About Persian Cats
    Director Bahman Ghobadi (Turtles Can Fly) shot his faux documentary in secret, and the close-to-the-ground style compensates for the tenuous narrative structure by capturing the energy and variety of Tehran's music scene in all its bravery.
  6. Oceans
    There have, over the years, been a lot of terrific undersea documentaries, but if you want to know what distinguishes this new one, it comes down to a single word: technology.
  7. Please Give
    In Please Give, the sharp-eyed filmmaker sends her vibrant representative out into the world to explore what it means for a woman to be lucky and still feel itchy. The report has the resonant ring of truth.
  8. Casino Jack and the United States of Money
    Casino Jack is really a look at how the culture of Washington was rebuilt to sell itself to the highest bidder.
  9. Solitary Man
    With an outstanding screenplay by Brian Koppelman and disciplined direction by Koppelman and David Levien, a story that could have been generic (or worse, scented with flowery bulls---) turns into a precise, honest, and affecting drama.
  10. Cyrus
    Cyrus cues us to expect it to go over the top, but the film never does. That may be its neatest trick
  11. Stonewall Uprising
    Stonewall Uprising does an evocative job of coloring in the oppression of gay life before Stonewall, so that when the eruption happens, we feel its necessity in our bones.
  12. Despicable Me
    Another 3-D animated kid movie demonstrates that cartoon storytelling pitched to young people is the last, best refuge of sprightly filmmaking this hard, hot summer.
  13. Kisses
    A superior lyrical ragamuffin Irish drama.
  14. The Other Guys
    It's a comedy of manhood for the age of emasculation.
  15. Countdown to Zero
    Countdown to Zero makes old terrors radioactively new again.
  16. The Concert
    The crowd-pleasing comic Euro-drama The Concert is, at its musical center, as full of ripe emotion as Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major. It's also as darkly funny as a Slavic farce, a composition of sweet cacophony.
  17. Animal Kingdom
    Don't be fooled: In this unpeaceable kingdom, the den mama is also ready to eat her young.
  18. Down Terrace
    A dark and hilarious thwomping of the whole miserablist British gangster genre.
  19. The Town
    A rich, dark, pulpy mess of entanglements that fulfills all the requirements of the genre, and is told with an ease and gusto that make the pulp tasty.
  20. Nowhere Boy
    By the end of Nowhere Boy, you'll feel you know John Lennon better than you ever did.
  21. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 also bravely faces the future, slipping with expert ease among the thrilling mass of complications (and complicated set pieces) that Rowling throws fans in the final sprint, then guiding the faithful to the fate that awaits everyone in this world, the moment called The End.
  22. I'm Still Here
    An artful piece of exploitation vérité.
  23. Waiting for 'Superman'
    Powerful, passionate, and potentially revolution-inducing documentary.
  24. Marwencol
    This tender documentary considers the mysteries of both art and coping.
  25. White Material
    French mood-and-feeling master filmmaker Claire Denis returns to the Africa of her youth for an intense, mysterious drama exploring revolution and loss.
  26. The Fighter
    This one, as thoughtful as it is rousing, scores a TKO.
  27. The Illusionist
    The many fans of the uniquely droll 2003 animation Oscar nominee "The Triplets of Belleville" will recognize the inventive hand-drawn sensibilities of French filmmaker Sylvain Chomet in his loving and lovely new feature The Illusionist.
  28. Outside the Law
    Rachid Bouchareb's intensely dramatized, passionately partisan story of militancy in the struggle for Algerian independence from France after World War II makes effective use of "Godfather" storytelling theatrics.
  29. Applause
    In his debut feature, the director is wise enough to move his hand-held camera wherever Steen wants to go.
  30. Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune
    At once an unsentimental portrait of the ambitious singer who thought himself bound for glory, and an affecting elegy for a time when song was a form of revolution.
