  1. Up in the Air
    Up in the Air is light and dark, hilarious and tragic, romantic and real. It's everything that Hollywood has forgotten how to do; we're blessed that Jason Reitman has remembered
  2. The Hurt Locker
    The result is an intense, action-driven war pic, a muscular, efficient standout that simultaneously conveys the feeling of combat from within as well as what it looks like on the ground.
  3. Fantastic Mr. Fox
    With its virtuoso tomfoolery, Fantastic Mr. Fox is like a homegrown Wallace and Gromit caper. To Wes Anderson: More, please!
  4. Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire
    It's a potent and moving experience, because by the end you feel you've witnessed nothing less than the birth of a soul.
  5. District 9
    Madly original, cheekily political, altogether exciting District 9.
  6. The Princess and the Frog
    What matters is that Tiana triumphs as both a girl and a frog, that dreams are fulfilled, wrongs are righted, love prevails, and music unites not only a princess and a frog but also kids and grown-ups.
  7. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
    Nothing good happens in 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, the riveting, horrifying chronicle of an illegal abortion performed in 1987 when Ceauescu's dictatorial hand still gripped Romania's throat. And yet no lover of greatness in filmmaking will want to look away from one of the very best movies of 2007.
  8. Where the Wild Things Are
    This is one of the year's best. To paraphrase the Wild Thing named KW, I could eat it up, I love it so.
  9. Killer of Sheep
    Way ahead of its time 30 years ago, and just as stunning today, Killer of Sheep is one of those marvels of original moviemaking that keeps hope of artistic independence alive.
  10. The Beaches of Agnès
    In The Beaches of Agnès, you get addicted to watching Agnès Varda watch the world.
  11. Pan's Labyrinth
    Like any great myth, Pan's Labyrinth encodes its messages through displays of magic. And like any good fairy tale, it is also embroidered with threads of death and loss.
  12. (500) Days of Summer
    It's a feat of star acting, and it helps make (500) Days not just bitter or sweet but everything in between.
  13. Up
    A lovely, thoughtful, and yes, uplifting adventure.
  14. Ponyo
    Don't tell Walt Disney, but Hayao Miyazaki really holds the keys to the magic kingdom.
  15. Sideways
    It's an intoxicating feeling when a movie excites and enlivens us like this -- and there's a particular giddiness to be had in thinking about what movies can (but don't often) do for one's soul after imbibing such a fine vintage.
  16. There Will Be Blood
    For bleakness, the movie can't be beat -- nor for brilliance.
  17. Police, Adjective
    Yet another outstanding little movie in the exciting Romanian New Wave.
  18. The Class
    In a class by itself.
  19. Summer Hours
    Brims with life and loveliness even as it meditates on the loss of childhood.
  20. Drag Me to Hell
    Raimi has made the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years.
  21. Gomorrah
    Naples-born Servillo is a national star, famed as a theater, opera, and film director as well as an actor. And he's got the face of a mensch (or a Madoff) -- which makes his embodiment of criminal banality all the more identifiable, as well as horrifying.
  22. No End in Sight
    Ferguson spotlights two massive mistakes: the looting that was allowed to continue, destroying Iraqi infrastructure and morale; and--far more revelatory -- the apocalyptically stupid decision to disband the Iraqi army, sending half a million angry soldiers into the streets.
  23. Nobody Knows
    Yagira's performance is so extraordinary, it won him the best actor prize at the 2004 Cannes film festival.
  24. Coraline
    This thrilling stop-motion animated adventure is a high point in Selick's career of creating handcrafted wonderlands of beauty blended with deep, disconcerting creepiness.
  25. The Best of Youth
    Like a great novel from a more expansive bygone age, The Best of Youth is full of big thoughts; like a great soap opera, it's also full of sharp plot turns, vibrant characters, and great talk. It is, in short, the best of cinema.
  26. WALL-E
    It whisks you to another world, then makes it every inch our own.
  27. Crash
    The stunning, must-see drama Crash is proof that words have not lost the ability to shock in our anesthetized society.
  28. Black Dynamite
    Along the way, Black Dynamite blends satire, nostalgia, and cinema deconstruction into a one-of-a-kind comedy high.
  29. Food, Inc.
    Food, Inc. is hard to shake, because days after you've seen it, you may find yourself eating something -- a cookie, a piece of poultry, cereal out of the box, a perfectly round waxen tomato -- and you'll realize that you have virtually no idea what it actually is.
  30. Children of Men
    It's a work of art that deserves a space cleared for its angry, nervous beauty.
