  1. Of Time and the City
    ''Documentary'' is too impersonal a word and ''visual poem'' is too mushy a phrase to describe Of Time and the City, a short, beautiful, characteristically sublime memory piece by the great British auteur Terence Davies.
  2. Chandni Chowk to China
    It all makes you want to see a Bollywood movie, all right -- a good one.
  3. Cherry Blossoms
    There's a grace to it all, and moments of oddball poetry.
  4. Hotel for Dogs
    There are still cuddly pups and piddle jokes aplenty.
  5. My Bloody Valentine
    What really leaps out at you about My Bloody Valentine 3-D is its lack of imagination.
  6. Notorious
    Notorious makes the death of Biggie Smalls look like a tragic mistake, instead of the outgrowth of a culture devoted to selling the fantasy of who's the biggest man.
  7. Paul Blart: Mall Cop
    Has a few surprises in store. The biggest is James, an unexpectedly nimble master of the face-plant, the failed jump, and the lopsided tumble.
  8. Bride Wars
    Bride Wars pretends to be a satire of wedding mania, but since there's virtually nothing else to the movie, the satire comes depressingly close to endorsement.
  9. Not Easily Broken
    Laughter through tears is director Bill Duke's M.O., and he hits the bull's-eye of that modest target.
  10. The Unborn
    Indeed, Goyer has penned many scripts superior to this one (he co-wrote cult gem Dark City), but he does make sure you're never far away from a big "Boo!"
  11. Silent Light
    The stab at sublimity-by-proxy doesn't take.
  12. Defiance
    Zwick offers excitingly staged moments, but once you get past the novelty of WWII Jews acting this heroically macho, Defiance bogs down in a not very well-developed script.
  13. Good
    Good has a stagy fustiness, but it's worth seeing for Mortensen, who makes this study of a "good German" look creepily contemporary.
  14. Revolutionary Road
    The best thing about Revolutionary Road, a cool-blooded and disquieting adaptation of Richard Yates' 1961 novel about a powerfully unhappy Connecticut couple, is that it doesn't end with that rote vision of bourgeois anomie. It only begins there.
  15. Waltz with Bashir
    Waltz With Bashir has transcended the definitions of ''cartoon'' or ''war documentary'' to be classified as its own brilliant invention.
  16. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    A curious case indeed: an extravagantly ambitious movie that's easy to admire but a challenge to love.
  17. The Spirit
    As the vamps, Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson might be posing for a fashion spread with just one note to play -- gorgeous high-bitch mockery.
  18. Bedtime Stories
    It's a dispirited, galumphing mess.
  19. Last Chance Harvey
    Hoffman and Thompson are each good enough to bring out a glow in the other.
  20. Marley & Me
    Wilson has a scene near the end with Marley that's the most wrenchingly tender acting of his career.
  21. Valkyrie
    The mechanics of the actual plot are pretty amazing. Singer has assembled a top-notch international cast.
  22. The Secret of the Grain
    The title embraces the richness of Kechiche's beautiful film, which captures the rhythms of displacement and hardship, the bond of family meals, and even the daily routines of the magnificent women who are part of Slimane's life.
  23. The Tale of Despereaux
    Too bad the story's such a mess.
  24. The Class
    In a class by itself.
  25. Seven Pounds
    An unintentionally ludicrous drama of repentance.
  26. Yes Man
    This is basically a nerd-loosening-his-tie romantic comedy done in the manic-compulsive mode of "Liar Liar."
  27. The Wrestler
    The Wrestler is like "Rocky" made by the Scorsese of "Mean Streets." It's the rare movie fairy tale that's also a bravura work of art.
  28. Nothing But the Truth
    Lurie hits closer to the bone here than he did in his ham-handed "The Contender" (2000).
  29. Scott Walker: 30 Century Man
    Walker forged an out-of-time mystique that is vividly captured here.
  30. Gran Torino
    A movie at once understated and radical, deceptively unremarkable in presentation and ballsy in its earnestness. Don't let the star's overly familiar squint fool you: This is subtle, perceptive stuff.
