  1. Thank You for Smoking
    Cynical and cheerily merciless.
  2. Ice Age: The Meltdown
    Ice Age: The Meltdown blithely looks on the bright side of life, amassing a screen full of vultures to sing and dance ''Food Glorious Food'' and daring us not to get happy.
  3. Slither
    There are times (and plenty of them) when Slither slops over from smart, affectionate homage into unmodulated frat goofiness as Gunn cannibalizes so many horror plots with such high spirits.
  4. Brick
    Johnson also grabs hold of a fundamental truth and seduces us with it: The schoolyard can be the noirest burg of all.
  5. The Devil and Daniel Johnston
    A fascinating and lovingly crafted musical documentary that nevertheless misunderstands its own subject.
  6. American Dreamz
    A blithe, funny, and engaging movie.
  7. Hard Candy
    Hard Candy is extreme - a battle of the sexes that glides from tricky to angry to shockingly ugly.
  8. The Notorious Bettie Page
    The movie, in a sense, is just like Bettie's photos: all glorious surface. The Notorious Bettie Page captures, with seductive finesse, how Bettie Page happened, yet what it leaves us with is the tantalizing enigma of a girl who couldn't truly be ''bad'' because she made sex divinely delicious.
  9. Look Both Ways
    Ineffably Australian and intriguingly (rather than annoyingly) artsy, Look Both Ways introduces a handful of people gobsmacked by life-changing crises, all of them trying to make sense of responsibility, mortality, and connection.
  10. Akeelah and the Bee
    Blessed with excellent turns by Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne, this feel-gooder revels in its hip-to-be-square hyperliteracy, and neatly exceeds its own PSA-ness, practically amounting to a black, preteen "Good Will Hunting."
  11. Mission: Impossible III
    A gratifyingly clever, booby-trapped thriller that has enough fun and imagination and dash to more than justify its existence.
  12. Poseidon
    It's a buoyant, old-wave disaster pic for a generation of well-conditioned thrill seekers charmed by the revelation that Richard Dreyfuss really is the Red Buttons of our day.
  13. Over the Hedge
    The visual and verbal jokes are as bouncy and multilevel (hip height for adults, knee-slap-size for kids) as we have come, no doubt selfishly, to expect from DreamWorks.
  14. Sketches of Frank Gehry
    Gehry sketches and free-associates about how he's not nearly the menschy aw-shucks pussycat from Canada he appears to be but rather a wily, complicated L.A. lion.
  15. Lemming
    The movie, which has the slightly glum perversity of early Chabrol, is a dream of betrayal, with the squirmiest attack-of-nature tableau since Willard.
  16. A Prairie Home Companion
    What sustains the film is the performers' belief in their shaggy-dog selves, which is more than just talent - it's faith.
  17. Cavite
    A breakneck inner-city odyssey of jump-cut shaky-cam suspense.
  18. The Heart of the Game
    The film is a furious full-court press, its subjects aflame with the kind of passion only youth can furnish.
  19. Lower City
    Director Sérgio Machado, who worked as an assistant to Central Station's Walter Salles, lingers sensually over every wrong move his attractive tragic trio make.
  20. Only Human
    Cheery, expertly constructed Spanish farce.
  21. Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man
    I'm not generally a big fan of tribute concerts, but this is a glorious exception.
  22. The Hidden Blade
    The Hidden Blade is tranquil, touching, and, in its climactic sword fight, excitingly real.
  23. Gabrielle
    Greggory anchors Gabrielle in manly bewilderment and rage, while Huppert claws the title character's way to self-awareness.
  24. Been Rich All My Life
    Good times and bum times, they've seen it all and they're still here. Lucky us.
  25. The Ant Bully
    An effortlessly clever animated confection.
  26. I Like Killing Flies
    The result is an unabashedly home-cooked homage to New York eccentricity.
  27. The Illusionist
    The Illusionist looks rigorously styled and measured, and every one of Norton's postures feels chosen. Yet the interesting actor has chosen so thoughtfully that we're riveted.
  28. Beerfest
    Beerfest panders shamelessly to the 15-year-old in this 30-year-old... without assuming he is a 15-year-old. It's R-rated puerility for actual immature grown-ups.
  29. Invincible
    Wahlberg, with shaggy hair and a pumped bod he wears more convincingly than any actor, plays Vince as a guy who truly doesn't expect to win. That makes his rib-bruising triumph all the more believable and touching.
  30. Hollywoodland
    The chief frustration of this otherwise well-made, well-acted, well-heeled picture -- a movie classy in its artful modesty, with every detail of plot and period furnishings lovingly conceived, every lick of jazz-influenced score true to the times -- is that it is so very self-absorbedly graceful about something so very insular and...unremarkable.
