  1. The BFG
    Parents looking for a 21st-century E.T. to share with their kids are bound to be a bit disappointed even as their eyes are dazzled.
  2. Crash
    The stunning, must-see drama Crash is proof that words have not lost the ability to shock in our anesthetized society.
  3. The Danish Girl
    It feels like a movie that’s been lovingly crafted and put under glass in a museum. And I kept waiting for it to move me more than it did.
  4. Game Night
    McAdams, whose comedic skills have gone unsung for way too long, is dizzy fun. The whole movie is, actually, even if it pretty much evaporates on impact — a kooky, vicarious loop of Mad Libs meets Cards Against Humanity, where whoever’s holding the popcorn last wins.
  5. Don Jon
    Gordon-Levitt proves a natural filmmaker, nimbly staging Jon's highly amusing Catholic confessions, along with porn montages that mimic the dopamine-charged editing of "Requiem for a Dream." He also gets a terrific performance out of Tony Danza as Jon's hilariously blinkered brute of a dad.
  6. White Palace
    Spader and Sarandon make White Palace worth seeing, but too often they’re fighting the movie’s smugness.

    Colors
    Sean Penn and Robert Duvall basically played the Two Faces of Dennis: hyper young firebrand and cautious older lion.

  8. The Eye
    Part supernatural thriller, part Oliver Sacks-style meditation on the neurological mysteries of perception, and part Buddhist treatise on reincarnation, the story luxuriates in shadows.
  9. Bend It Like Beckham
    The most exhilarating movie so far this year. It's made up of many familiar elements -- think ''Monsoon Wedding'' meets ''My Beautiful Laundrette'' meets ''Personal Best'' -- yet before long, you catch on to how buoyant and funny and original it is.
  10. The Prestige
    The Prestige isn't art, but it reaps a lot of fun out of the question, How did they do that?
  11. POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
    Always the smooth showman, Spurlock avoids answering his own question: Is he selling out or buying in?
  12. Judy
    If the blond, marathon-lean Zellweger hardly seems like a natural doppelganger for Garland, she subsumes herself completely in the role, without ever tipping over into some kind of gestural Judy drag.
  13. I.Q.
    I.Q. is easy enough to sit through, but it’s all surface come-on-the romantic-comedy equivalent of a shallow young Hollywood star who puts on fake glasses so that it will look like he, too, has brains.
  14. Restoration
    Blinking his puppy-moist eyes and grappling with an English accent, Downey struggles so manfully in the role that one cuts him a lot of slack; working earnestly on her Irish brogue and mussing up her cupcake demeanor in the service of verisimilitude as a wise madwoman, Meg Ryan’s performance is, refreshingly, less precious than she’s been in a long while.
  15. Wonka
    In addition to committing to its sense of fun, Wonka reminds us that life is made sweetest by the people we share it with. If that’s not particularly novel, it’s still as comforting and scrumptious a notion as a chocolate bar.
  16. Truth
    For a movie about the importance of objectivity, Truth feels like a biased and sanctimonious op-ed column.
  17. Family Law
    Well acted.
  18. Elegy
    There's a poetic irony to the idea that it took a female filmmaker to finally do justice to Philip Roth on screen.
  19. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
    Goes down easy enough at first. But even at a svelte 81 minutes, this meal drags on too long.
  20. Carancho
    Worth seeing.
  21. SherryBaby
    Maggie Gyllenhaal is such a miracle of an actress that she makes you respond to the innocence of Sherry's desperate, selfish destruction.

    Dark City
    It's a little short on coherence and long on comic-book sensationalism -- dig the hokey, climactic Battle of the Minds between the hero and a cadaverous Mr. Big -- but there's no denying the nightmarish pull of the film's aesthetic.
  23. Landline
    In sweetly calibrated moments — a downtown drug deal gone wrong; Falco alone under strobe lights, swaying ecstatically to Donna Summer — Landline finds the analog joy it’s reaching for.
  24. Stardust
    It's the closest the movies have come in a while to the nudgy, knowing fairy-tale enchantment of "The Princess Bride."
  25. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
    The races are scorchingly shot, and they lend the movie a zest.
  26. Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story
    Turns out to be the portrait of a serial yo-yo dieter, an impression enhanced by the 60 year old Berlin, who suggests less a former depraved scenester than a calorie compulsive Martha Stewart grown bored with good taste.
  27. I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
    A modest vérité portrait of Wilco, the engagingly melodious, deeply unglam alt-folk rockers.
  28. Trembling Before G-d
    While the compiled testimony is strong, some larger context is missing.
  29. We Don't Live Here Anymore
    The film is at times harrowing to watch, yet it's also wry and delicate and absorbing. It's infused with the messy excitement of imperfect passion.
  30. Pieces of a Woman
    Though an overwrought final hour dissipates the power of the first and its soft-focus end notes feel unearned, the film still leaves a bruising kind of mark.
