  1. The Cove
    The Cove is the rare documentary specifically designed as a thriller.
  2. Thirst
    A gaudy, daring, operatic, and bloody funny provocation of a melodrama from Park Chan-wook.
  3. Aliens in the Attic
    A pointless but ultimately harmless family adventure that doesn't mentally assault the 12-and-over set. (Extra points for being 100 percent fart-joke-free).
  4. The Collector
    The result is a sub-"Saw" knockoff that manages to be brutal yet monotonous, not to mention monstrously unpleasant.
  5. Lorna's Silence
    A stunning study of one desperate woman's conscience.
  6. Flame and Citron
    Director Ole Christian Madsen combines sharp scenes of moral inquiry with a few too many functional, oldfangled espionage twists.
  7. Adam
    It's hard to buy this relationship even for a moment. Adam is sweet, meticulous, and, at times, sort of clever, but it's also a not-quite-surprising-enough heartwarming trifle.
  8. In the Loop
    The chattering smarty-pants who ran the U.S. government on "The West Wing" are slow talkers compared with the motormouthed and hilariously imperfect power elite in the brainy British comedy In the Loop.
  9. Orphan
    Orphan isn't scary -- it's garish and plodding.
  10. The Ugly Truth
    The Ugly Truth isn't fizzy and fun -- it's vacuously snappy.
  11. G-Force
    The first 3-D film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer turns out to be similar to 2-D projects from the same noise-making producer--heavy on action scenes and heavy, too, on message.
  12. The Answer Man
    Daniels plays Arlen with a kind of cuddly crankiness; he makes him a jerk who just needs a hug.
  13. Shrink
    It wants to be "Good Will Hunting" set in the land of "Entourage," but its bummed-out touchy-feeliness is every bit as concocted as its overly jaded showbiz corruption.
  14. (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.
  15. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    But the story is, still and all, only a pause, deferring an intensely anticipated conclusion. And it's in that exquisite place of action and waiting that this elegantly balanced production emerges as a model adaptation.
  16. Bruno
    The movie is a toxic dart aimed at the spangly new heart of American hypocrisy: our fake-tolerant, fake-charitable, fake-liberated-yet-still madly-closeted fame culture.
  17. Humpday
    Anna's thoughts matter because, as played by the wonderfully nuanced newcomer Alycia Delmore, the no-bull responses of this perceptive woman are a key to Humpday's sly, wised-up feminist outlook.
  18. Blood: The Last Vampire
    Gory but dramatically inert vampire schlocker.
  19. I Love You, Beth Cooper
    The story is timeless; this could have taken place when Doyle graduated in '76 -- or any year, really, since the effects of high school linger throughout adult life and nerds are forever.
  20. Soul Power
    What's infectious in Soul Power is the almost shocking optimism of its America-meets-Africa '70s world-beat vibe.
  21. I Hate Valentine's Day
    A charmless rom-com.
  22. Tony Manero
    Larrain's (literally) dark, edgy movie is a precise artistic commentary on Augusto Pinochet's miserable regime.
  23. The Beaches of Agnès
    In The Beaches of Agnès, you get addicted to watching Agnès Varda watch the world.
  24. Public Enemies
    As filmmaker Michael Mann takes pains to emphasize in his handsome, underheated gangster drama Public Enemies, the gent may have been murderous, but he had style.
  25. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
    The movie settles into a mode of nice, sweet, safe, and -- sorry, I have to say it -- slightly dull family fun.
  26. 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.
  27. My Sister's Keeper
    Their message (Cassavetes and screenwriter Jeremy Leven) in My Sister's Keeper? Cancer sucks, but there's always the balm of beach scenes and an emo soundtrack.
  28. Chéri
    Pfeiffer transcends any hint of cliché ''cougar'' voraciousness.
  29. The Stoning of Soraya M.
    The Stoning of Soraya M.'s drawn-out torture sequence is harrowing and lurid.
  30. Surveillance
    A grubby, disturbing serial-killer mystery, a kind of blood-simple "Rashomon."
