  1. Screamers
    The film offers true insight into the patterns of war crimes, even if the songs sound disquietingly close to a call to violence.
  2. The Good Shepherd
    Here, he's (Damon) the ultimate enigma machine, a man willing to erase himself for his country. Does that make him a hero? The Good Shepherd is too closemouthed to let on.
  3. Rocky Balboa
    There is much to poke at in Rocky Balboa, yet the movie, with its amusingly updated ''Gonna Fly Now'' montage and its very niftily staged climactic bout, summons just enough incredulous wit about just how often Rocky has been around this particular block to let Sylvester Stallone earn his nostalgia.
  4. Miss Potter
    Miss Potter, right to the end, is the definition of a "nice" movie, and that makes it a genuine oddball in a universe of increasingly distressed and uncivilized pop culture.
  5. Freedom Writers
    Square, sincere, and proud of it.
  6. The Italian
    The result is a picture half sweet, half bitter. Charles Dickens would approve.
  7. Smokin' Aces
    A cheerfully disposable gangland freak-show thrill ride that's been directed by the gifted Joe Carnahan (Narc) as if he were trying to give the audience a seizure.
  8. Daddy's Little Girls
    This latest market-savvy bit of circuit preaching is less cartoonish than Perry's previous big-tent revival meetings.
  9. Breach
    Now Ray has directed his second film, the abysmally titled Breach, and it's a bona fide companion piece, another true-life tale of duplicity gone secretly insane.
  10. Close to Home
    One of the rare movies from Israel that refuses to spell out its politics, and you may wind up grateful for the ambiguity.
  11. Starter for 10
    There's a tidiness and affection to this British homage to John Hughes movies.
  12. Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders
    Maxed Out, while occasionally muddled in its financial details, presents a more-accurate-than-not vision of a nation that is starting to look like a candidate for rehab, on both an individual and a national level, for its addiction to debt.
  13. The Wind That Shakes the Barley
    If Loach had given full voice to each side of this division, he could have made a great film -- maybe THE great film -- about the Irish struggle.
  14. The Last Mimzy
    The newcomer kids are delightfully...kidlike. Cosmic bonus: "The Office's" Rainn Wilson plays a New Agey science teacher.
  15. Color Me Kubrick
    The film reveals, rather delectably, how potent the power of suggestion can be in a world gone madly groupie.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Everything's Gone Green
    The story -- is slight, but an appealing cast and lots of scenic leafery make Green feel fresh.
  17. Vacancy
    Vacancy is a schlock surprise: a no-frills motel-hell slasher film -- with a bit of soul.
  18. Jindabyne
    Jindabyne -- named for the lakeside town in which the troubles spill -- can't contain all that the filmmakers want to throw in. Best to keep glued to the taut performance by Laura Linney.
  19. Hostel: Part II
    An authentic real-world creep show -- better, if anything, than its predecessor.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    DOA: Dead or Alive
    If you only ever see one bad movie about warrior chicks who meet on a tropical isle for a fight contest, make it DOA: Dead or Alive.
  21. 1408
    A deft Stephen King freak-out.
  22. Broken English
    As charmingly verklemmt New York women with bad luck in men and good luck in apartments go, Nora Wilder in Broken English has all the breaks.
  23. Live Free or Die Hard
    An enjoyable pop projection of post-9/11 anxiety.
  24. Ghosts of Cité Soleil
    A spectacularly turbulent portrait of the chaos and bloodshed that have come to define Haiti.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Arctic Tale
    It's a respectable attempt to get kids who like cuddly animals thinking about death and destruction on a global scale.
  26. This Is England
    Sad, menacing, empathetic story.
  27. Becoming Jane
    Becoming Jane has a burnished feminine sadness, and the director, Julian Jarrold, gives it a creamy-dark visual flow.
  28. Descent
    It's been a while since we saw a demagogic feminist exploitation revenge drama, and Descent, while top-heavy with ''agenda,'' is shrewdly done.
  29. Stardust
    It's the closest the movies have come in a while to the nudgy, knowing fairy-tale enchantment of "The Princess Bride."
  30. Mr. Bean's Vacation
    Atkinson's goofball grotesquerie never lets up -- right through to the inspired finale.
