  1. The Cove
    The Cove is the rare documentary specifically designed as a thriller.
  2. World's Greatest Dad
    Williams hasn't been this sympathetic in years.
  3. Iron Man
    Even at his coolest, Downey's Iron Man remains a ghostly, neurotic crusader -- one whose life, in the Marvel tradition, has become a grand spectacle of overcompensation.
  4. Red Cliff
    The spectacular battle scenes are the engorged heart of the delirious adventure. But Woo also gets maximum romantic value from Tony Leung as a war hero married to Chiling Lin as the tea-pouring beauty.
  5. Revolutionary Road
    The best thing about Revolutionary Road, a cool-blooded and disquieting adaptation of Richard Yates' 1961 novel about a powerfully unhappy Connecticut couple, is that it doesn't end with that rote vision of bourgeois anomie. It only begins there.
  6. I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
    The film is consistently fun, and Tucker's comeuppance ? will leave you gasping (if not gagging) with laughter.
  7. The Proposal
    The chemical energy between Bullock and Reynolds is fresh and irresistible.
  8. 28 Weeks Later
    Excels at creating a keen, creepy sense of a civilization stopped dead in its tracks -- vaporized, almost, except for those disemboweled bodies left still undisposed.
  9. Role Models
    The fun of Role Models is that it's a high-concept movie executed with speed and finesse and the kind of brusquely tossed-off obscene banter that can get you laughing before you know what hit you.
  10. Everything Is Illuminated
    For one of those obstreperously original books that are themselves impossible to translate, Everything Is Illuminated is impressively well lit.
  11. Sugar
    The film's style is so ''objective'' it's a bit subdued, yet this is a sports drama of total originality, as well as the most authentic inside view of the immigrant experience the movies have given us in quite a while.
  12. Death at a Funeral
    Reveling in mess and homegrown multiracial mayhem, Death at a Funeral finds a new lease on life.
  13. Ong Bak
    Ong-Bak (taken from the name of the sacred statue) is delivered raw, with an on-the-fly compositional approach from director Prachya Pinkaew that includes dim lighting and jumbled editing.
  14. Aliens of the Deep
    Gorgeous as the underwater life-forms are, the excitement of Aliens of the Deep comes from that most old-school, low-tech of elements: real human beings.
  15. Lost Embrace
    It's in the brightly observed vignettes from mall-society life, captured with a low-key, on-the-run visual style, that Burman shows his best stuff and deadpan wit.
  16. The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill
    In watching the birds and the man with an affectionate, curious eye, the filmmaker builds a story of surprising emotional resonance.
  17. Because of Winn-Dixie
    To Winn-Dixie's great credit, both as a book and as a dandy, dignified movie, there's nothing condescendingly lesson-like in the wisdom India acquires.
  18. Walk on Water
    At times too movieish, yet Ashkenazi creates a memorable figure: a spy who operates - admirably - out of the most unyielding nationalist conviction, only to learn that he needs to let some of that conviction go.
  19. Robots
    Zippy, enjoyable sci-fi slapstick jamboree.
  20. Mondovino
    The highest praise I can give to Mondovino is that it makes you want to sample every vintage it shows you.
  21. The Interpreter
    An elegant adventure of a different kind.
  22. The Year of the Yao
    A skillful and winning piece of honest booster portraiture.
  23. Funny Ha Ha
    Andrew Bujalski's Funny Ha Ha, an ebullient sliver of a movie, follows a group of men and women in their early 20s, and for once the un-dialogue dialogue doesn't come off as an affectation.
  24. Mysterious Skin
    Mysterious Skin dawdles more than it flows, but it comes alive whenever Araki, hovering between tragedy and voyeurism, reveals how sex can tear lives to pieces.
  25. Cinderella Man
    How exceptional a film actor is Russell Crowe? So exceptional that in Cinderella Man, he makes a good boxing movie feel at times like a great, big picture.
  26. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
    It's okay for a grown movie critic to admit she cried freely and with great feeling for more than half the movie, and grinned like a dork through the remainder.
  27. Deep Blue
    Full of splendidly shot wonders.
  28. Rize
    As long as it showcases the art of krump, underscoring the dancers with ominous hip-hop beats, Rize is such a vibrant eruption of motion and attitude that you can forgive the film for being disorganized and too skimpy on street-dance history.
  29. Lila Says
    Lila, played by Vahina Giocante, who resembles a sexed-up young Emma Thompson, is a teasing, 16-year-old blond baby doll with a gleam of perception beyond her years.
  30. The Beat That My Heart Skipped
    The Beat That My Heart Skipped lacks the screw-loose existential vibrance of "Fingers," yet it teases out a romantic underside to the original I never quite knew was there.
