  1. Mutual Appreciation
    If this is the sound of a new generation, then it may be the first generation cautious enough to embrace friendship as mightier than love.
  2. Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles
    Ken Takakura, a great rain-creased oak of an actor, delivers a quietly massive performance.
  3. This Film Is Not Yet Rated
    Has a bright, dishy spirit.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    I Trust You to Kill Me
    Even when he looks like a complete dolt, Sutherland still comes off sympathetically, as a cool guy.
  5. Jesus Camp
    As a documentary, Jesus Camp could lose its haunted-house score and contrapuntal Air America refrains and still deliver its message: that, here and elsewhere, fundamentalism is no longer content with a separate peace. It wants the meat.
  6. The Last King of Scotland
    Drawing on a documentary visual style he deftly employed in "One Day in September" and "Touching the Void," director Kevin Macdonald uses McAvoy's boyishness to treat Garrigan's apolitical foolishness as yet another damn mess in one African country's hell.
  7. A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints
    This gallantly imperfect indie pops with attitude.
  8. Marie Antoinette
    Coppola's stranded royal suggests that at heart, Marie Antoinette was just a simple girl who wanted to have fun, and got her head handed to her.
  9. The Prestige
    The Prestige isn't art, but it reaps a lot of fun out of the question, How did they do that?
  10. Sleeping Dogs Lie
    Hamilton, in her movie debut, is a find: the kinkstress next door.
  11. Shut Up & Sing
    Through it all, Natalie Maines' decision to shirk humility, to stick by her guns, to the point that the group returns to that London concert venue in 2006 and she utters the same joke again, becomes a feisty and inspiring act of something there is only one word for: patriotism.
  12. Death of a President
    The movie IS a provocation, but not a glib or ideologically myopic one.
  13. Flushed Away
    Flushed Away lacks the action-contraption dottiness of a Wallace and Gromit adventure, but it hits its own sweet spot of demented delight.
  14. Harsh Times
    Bale is mesmerizing and Rodriguez keeps up with him as the whole unsafe contraption zooms.
  15. Fast Food Nation
    Naturally, a subject this right-on draws a right-on cast. Kris Kristofferson, Avril Lavigne, and Ethan Hawke pitch in.
  16. The Fountain
    I'm as touched and charmed by its failures as I am transfixed, at times, by its successful inventiveness and audacity.
  17. Dreamgirls
    Dreamgirls is the rare movie musical with real rapture in it.
  18. The Bergman Trilogy
    After a lifetime of flogging the demons of cosmic despair, Ingmar Bergman, at 88, comes off as lean and vigorous in this fascinating memoir-interview.

    Off the Black
    Sucking at the top of many a can, and greedily slurping the sides of an overflowing bottle, Nolte gives a master class in how to drink a beer on screen. The rest of his work here is sad, understated, and worth seeking out.
  20. The Painted Veil
    The always surprising Watts creates a woman at once contemporary and retro. And Norton, as a producer as well as star, concedes enough space for Schreiber and the effortlessly fascinating Jones to earn their own spotlights.
  21. The Pursuit of Happyness
    It's a beautiful and understated performance, one that hums with a richer, quieter music than Smith has mustered before.
  22. The Astronaut Farmer
    After teeny indies, this studio release retains the trademark love of warped American gothic that the Polishes share with David Lynch and the brothers Ethan and Joel Coen. But the unexpected streak of yearning sunniness -- the Spielbergian touch of boyhood dreams propelling a grown man -- gives The Astronaut Farmer a warmth that's new for them.
  23. Beyond the Gates
    John Hurt is magnetic as a Catholic priest running a school where terrified Tutsi have taken refuge, while Hugh Dancy, as a naive teacher, represents white commitment to black Africa at its most impotent and unreliable.
  24. Pride
    Pride doesn't have much surprise, but it's a formula picture of genuine feeling.
  25. Air Guitar Nation
    When C-Diddy (a.k.a. David Jung), in his samurai superman suit, does his note-perfect, lip-twisting, belly-jiggling manic mime of Extreme's ''Play With Me,'' it's hard not to grin and admit that, yes, this is almost an art form.
  26. First Snow
    First Snow is essentially a short story with a metaphysical twist, but Pearce puts his fears more up front than any actor I can think of.
  27. The Prisoner or: How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair
    Eight months of interrogation and torture in fetid Abu Ghraib followed before he was released, innocent. None of The Prisoner's showy flourishes -- animation, sound effects, fancy editing -- can match the power of Abbas' stillness as he describes one man's agony in one huge hell.
  28. Hot Fuzz
    In the very funny cop comedy Hot Fuzz, overachieving London police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) commits a very British sin: He's too good.
  29. Fracture
    Fracture is working on us, playing us, but that's its pleasure. It makes overwrought manipulation seem more than a basic instinct.
  30. Bug
    The enjoyably icky heart of Bug is still contained within the airless, increasingly ''bug-proofed'' room that becomes Agnes and Peter's whole world.
