  1. Shall We Kiss?
    Mouret not only stars (opposite a delicate Ledoyen) as the slightly schlemiely fellow in want of a woman's affection, he also wrote and directed this enticing, weightless divertissement.
  2. Sunshine Superman
    Interviews with Boenish’s wife, Jean, give his life story perspective and heart.
  3. The Science of Sleep
    The Science of Sleep is like a weird dream that tugs at the memory throughout the day with its intriguing, misshapen pieces.
  4. Elling
    Charms because of its natural, non-magical attitude toward humanity.
  5. Elephant
    Beauty competes with vacuity in Elephant, and for a good stretch of writer-director Gus Van Sant's maddeningly passive ode to high school innocence and Columbine-age youthful evil, beauty wins.
  6. Love Songs
    Chiara Mastroianni charms here just as her maman, Catherine Deneuve, did in Demy's 1964 classic.
  7. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
    They don't really make fairy tales for women over 40. If they did, though, it might look a little like Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris — a featherweight meringue of a movie so sweet it threatens to float away on its own sugar high, if not for the sheer generosity of the story's premise and luminous commitment of its lead actress.
  8. Meet the Patels
    In its current form as a documentary, Meet the Patels is a charming and moderately enlightening examination of what happens when an American-raised man recovering from a bad breakup attempts to find a wife through the kind of arranged marriage that has kept his parents blissful for decades.
  9. Doubt
    Shanley turns out to have dismayingly few original cinematic notions to back up the basic did-he-or-didn't-he hook in his study of conviction and compassion.
  10. A Man Called Ove
    Holm’s adaptation is a darkly funny, tragic, and ultimately heartwarming tearjerker about the life of one lonely but extraordinary man.
  11. Liar Liar
    Jim Carrey entertains himself mightily in Liar Liar, and his enthusiasm is infectious.
  12. Happy Together
    The vignettes don't add up to a story, but Wong's nervy brio and subterranean-fantasy style make for an arresting work about an exotic subculture.
  13. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
    The generosity and gorgeousness with which Aussie writer-director Stephan Elliott (and costume designers Lizzy Gardiner and Tim Chappel) turn this most unlikely road picture into something arresting - if a tad sentimental - in its naive vision of a perfectly tolerant world.
  14. Soul Food
    In the tradition of such food-as-love films as "Eat Drink Man Woman" and "Big Night", kitchen work is idealized as a form of communion in this indulgently nostalgic story -- deep-fried with plot, script, and character cliches but honey glazed with goodwill...

      Ty Burr
    The Boy in the Plastic Bubble
    A stricken teen trapped in a polyurethane isolation tent. That’s a potent metaphor for adolescence, which may be why this made-for-TV movie was a rite of passage for an awful lot of us.
  16. Nightmare Alley
    Nightmare Alley is both a beautiful-looking film and an oddly forgettable one, maybe because borrowed material is no match for the ingenious creations of del Toro's own mind.
  17. The Hoax
    Gere is terrific at suggesting the kind of addictive cocktail of excitement, panic, chutzpah, creativity, and naked hunger for fame and megabucks that might inspire such big, fat lies.
  18. Who Killed the Electric Car?
    Who Killed the Electric Car? makes you angry, and also sad, to live in a country where innovation could be contrived into an enemy.
  19. Fados
    Fados connects today's leading interpreters with legendary fadistas of the past. And it's the last title to be released under the banner of the venerable New Yorker Films.
  20. Tosca
    Conveys the heaving passion of Puccini's famous love-jealousy-murder-suicide fandango with great cinematic innovation.
  21. Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry
    Potent and eye-opening documentary.
  22. Studio 54
    One of the great surprises of Matt Tyrnauer’s giddy glitterbomb of a documentary about New York’s infamously Caligulan Me Decade hot spot is discovering how much of our culture (the drugs, the music, the sexual liberation) is wrapped up in one nightclub that existed for a mere 33 months.
  23. Wuthering Heights
    Willful, meandering, and intriguing, this Wuthering Heights is similarly headstrong.
  24. Only Human
    Cheery, expertly constructed Spanish farce.
  25. 21 Grams
    Paradoxically, a movie that loses power the more you perceive what's actually going on in it. Laid end to end, the story is, to put it mildly, overwrought, fusing several cataclysms too many.
  26. The Bellboy
    This is where the brilliant second act of Lewis' career begins.
  27. Caramel
    A Lebanese variation on sweetly soapy dramas about Women Who Bond With Wet Hair.
  28. Rampart
    Oren Moverman's Rampart is a terrific film: tense, shocking, complex, mesmerizing.
  29. The Poseidon Adventure
    Once the lady in question is overturned by a freak tidal wave the tone shifts from unintentionally comedic to undeniably exciting as renegade priest Gene Hackman leads a motley band of souls (including Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters, and Roddy McDowall) on their upside down quest to escape from a watery grave.
  30. Your Friends & Neighbors
    Bleak, scathing, and utterly compelling.
