  1. Pontypool
    Think of this witty, economically gory little tour de force as "28 Days Later" written by linguist Noam Chomsky.
  2. Earth Days
    A rapturous and enlightening look at the history of the environmental movement in America.
  3. It Might Get Loud
    A marvelous rock doc that manages to be wistful, tasty, and jam-kicking at the same time.
  4. The September Issue
    Lusciously revealing fly-on-the-wall portrait of Anna Wintour.
  5. A Christmas Carol
    A marvelous and touching yuletide toy of a movie.
  6. A Prophet
    There's also no romanticizing on the part of the director, who proceeds with calm, unshowy attentiveness (even in the midst of scenes of violence), creating a stunning portrait of an innately smart survivor for whom prison turns out to be a twisted opportunity for self-definition.
  7. Mother
    Another must-see marvel of horror, comedy, and impeccable filmmaking by the Korean director Bong Joon-ho.
  8. IMAX: Hubble 3D
    Awesome documentary.
  9. The Dish
    It's a lovely, original, Australian take on a climactic moment usually thought of as all American.
  10. Dick
    A gaily funny, shrewdly inventive satire.
  11. Big Night
    The real feast is in the mix of characters, each so finely and unschmaltzily delineated in a script so confident and controlled that even the most passing of participants comes alive.
  12. Before Night Falls
    Arenas' life zigzags before us in a manner as heady and unpredictable as it must have felt to the man who lived it.
  13. Swingers
    The beauty of Swingers lies in the irony of its title: Despite their lounge-lizard posing, these guys will never really live up to their Rat Pack dreams.

  14. Lies
    Someone has finally done it -- made a sexually explicit feature that is also a genuine and harrowing work of erotic drama.
  15. Sound and Fury
    A work of intimate and wrenching humanity.
  16. The Kid Stays in the Picture
    A candy store for film buffs.
  17. Autumn Tale
    Rohmer treasures the undervalued glories of discourse and the intimacy of conversation over the obviousness of action or sexual display.
  18. Standing in the Shadows of Motown
    Offers terrific interviews with the surviving Funk Brothers, who provide a tasty insider history of 4 a.m. recording sessions inside ''the snake pit'' (as the fabled Studio A was known) as well as a chilling description of their final kiss-off from Berry Gordy, the Motown mogul who treated them like indentured servants.
  19. Personal Velocity: Three Portraits
    A no-frills docu-Dogma plainness, yet Miller lingers on invisible, nearly psychic nuances, leaping into digressions of memory and desire. She boxes these women's souls right open for us.
  20. Our Song
    The movie draws us into the illusion that we're simply eavesdropping on the lives of three inner-city black and Hispanic girls.
  21. The Color of Paradise
    While never slow, the film feels quiet and spacious, like a prayer.
  22. Rififi (re-release)
    It becomes as savage as ''Reservoir Dogs,'' ''The Killing,'' or any of the other dozens of films over which it still casts a shadow.
  23. Rosetta
    Rosetta is a character of raw pride in a film of lingering power.
  24. The House of Mirth
    This stunning movie -- one of the very best of the year -- makes a much read American classic feel new and freshly devastating.
  25. Amores Perros
    Fierce, loving, and electric, this movie's got bite as well as bark.
  26. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
    Fred Leuchter is just one deluded figure, but by the end of this great and chilling sick-joke documentary he stands as a living icon of the banality of evil.
  27. Affliction
    Affliction -- a beautiful bummer, a magnificent feel-bad movie -- is American filmmaking of a most rewarding order.
  28. The Circle
    Circles the heart of noisy, modern Tehran with an informal, documentary-like freedom that is thrilling in its naturalism.
  29. Ulee's Gold
    Ulee's Gold is a story of redemption, and Nunez doesn't make redemption look any easier than it is.
  30. Gimme Shelter
    Remains the only rock & roll film that exerts the saturnine intensity of a thriller.
