  1. Diminished Capacity
    The result is fairly silly slapstick, but Alda, hair disheveled and brow knit with stubborn intent, is both fierce and quietly heartbreaking.
  2. The Girl Cut in Two
    Sagnier is yummy.
  3. August Evening
    The filmmaker of August Evening creates a succession of quiet, elliptical scenes that accrue into an affecting big picture of family ties and immigrant experience.
  4. Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story
    If you want to hear juicy inside tales of the scams devised by Lee Atwater, the right-wing visionary of media-age dirty tricks, you'll find loads of them in Boogie Man.
  5. Dung che sai duk
    For the love of all things sensual and mysterious, see this one on a big screen.
  6. Must Read After My Death
    Did granny intend this stuff for strangers? We'll never know. File this ''therapeutic'' movie, well made and creepy, on the dysfunction-as-art shelf next to "Capturing the Friedmans."
  7. Tony Manero
    Larrain's (literally) dark, edgy movie is a precise artistic commentary on Augusto Pinochet's miserable regime.
  8. Afterschool
    Campos (who was 24 when he made this jolting pic) captures the numbing psychic scramble that just might cause the YouTube generation to go morally haywire. Or become filmmakers.
  9. Skin
    A tragic, enraging, and uplifting tale.
  10. Uncertainty
    Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins are so interesting that it's easy to put up with the decision-making dithering that goes along with the title.
  11. The Ghost Writer
    Satisfying, melancholy political suspense story.
  12. The Art of the Steal
    It's memorable when it meditates on the changing face of where we look at art, and how that changes the art itself.
  13. Leaves of Grass
    The movie bubbles with intellectual curiosity and narrative ambition.
  14. When You're Strange
    When You're Strange, a documentary history of the Doors directed by Tom DiCillo, is for people like me who can stumble onto the scrappiest Doors video on VH1 at 3 a.m. and sit there, mesmerized.
  15. Women Without Men
    Stronger on beautiful imagery than on narrative flow.
  16. Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D
    Chesney makes an art form out of strolling down the catwalk while singing. He turns each song into a blissed-out journey homeward.
  17. The Human Centipede (First Sequence)
    Unlike its obvious influence, the 1999 Japanese shocker "Audition," The Human Centipede has no real-world echoes. It's an only-in-the-movies sick goof.
  18. A Nightmare on Elm Street
    Some of the effects remain nicely repulsive; Freddy himself comes across as a genuinely nasty piece of work, far removed from his later incarnation.
  19. Letters to Juliet
    Redgrave shimmers like one of Tuscany's magnificent cypress trees as an Englishwoman searching for Lorenzo (Nero).
  20. Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo
    A delightfully weird, if occasionally too arty, documentary as darting in its structure as a dragonfly's flight.
  21. Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage
    Fans will gorge on this deft, year-by-year portrait of the ultimate enduring cult band.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
    Director Zack Snyder (300) has crafted the rare 3-D eyegasm that's worth the premium ticket price.
  23. Wild Grass
    Wild Grass is itself odd stuff: Sometimes it's as playful as Marguerite's crayon-red corona of frizzy hair, and other times as autumnal as the sight of Georges alone in his study, feeling stuck.
  24. South of the Border
    Yes, Stone gets cozy with Hugo Chávez, soft-pedaling the Venezuelan president's crackdown tendencies, but he also captures South America in a paradigm shift, wrenching itself free of centuries of colonial control. The film is rose-colored agitprop, but it catches a current of history.
  25. The Girl Who Played with Fire
    I found The Girl Who Played With Fire more gripping than "Dragon Tattoo," because this one doesn't just play with thriller conventions -- it puts them to work.
  26. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
    The first rock & roll kung fu videogame youth love story.
  27. Life During Wartime
    In a staring contest with his audience, Solondz never blinks. He picks and picks at the themes that consume him, and he doesn't care who stays and who leaves. Me, I'm rapt.
  28. Valhalla Rising
    When it comes to crazy, violent, semidelirious, testosterone-laden, proto-Viking tales about a mute visionary one-eyed warrior who breaks skulls, Valhalla Rising is pretty great.
  29. Who Killed Nancy?
    The film offers evidence that Vicious spent the entire night out cold on barbiturates. It plants resonant doubts.
  30. The Tillman Story
    Unravels the deceptions -- and the deep dishonor -- that inflated life-size valor into fake superheroism.
