  1. Joshua
    Joshua does grow a bit repetitious (it lacks the cathartic climaxes of a horror film), yet it has cool and savvy fun with your fears.
  2. Introducing the Dwights
    Sometimes Brenda Blethyn is content merely to nibble the scenery. In Introducing the Dwights, a drippy Australian family comedy caper, she chomps it to a pulp until we long for her straightforward monstrosity as a mother in "Little Voice."
  3. Rescue Dawn
    Out of a harrowing story set in a foreign thicket, Herzog has found American beauty.
  4. Transformers
    Bay, at heart, isn't a fantasist; he's a literal-minded maestro of demolition.
  5. License to Wed
    The creepy-faced robot twin babies are funny (for a while); the rest of the film is not. It's like "Meet the Parents" with Dr. Phil as the officiant from hell.
  6. Ratatouille
    Ratatouille is a blithe concoction, as well as a miraculously textured piece of animated design.
  7. Sicko
    The Cuban escapade, designed to provoke, backfires when he loses focus by including Cuban firefighters in an homage to 9/11 first responders.
  8. Evening
    For all the creaminess of the sets and costumes, every character talks as if she is still made out of written words, not flesh, and each woman's struggles feel about as important as a tea dance.
  9. Vitus
    Vitus, a fizzy domestic fairy tale from Switzerland, gives you a lift, as it revels in the oddball joy of genius as kid power.
  10. Dr. Bronner's Magic Soapbox
    It's like "Capturing the Friedmans" scrubbed to a happy ending.
  11. Live Free or Die Hard
    An enjoyable pop projection of post-9/11 anxiety.
  12. Ghosts of Cité Soleil
    A spectacularly turbulent portrait of the chaos and bloodshed that have come to define Haiti.
  13. In Between Days
    With In Between Days, the filmmaker captures feminine melancholy with rare precision. Find this movie.
  14. 1408
    A deft Stephen King freak-out.
  15. Evan Almighty
    The message is so good-hearted, so inarguable, so dull.
  16. A Mighty Heart
    Despite the best of intentions, an actress who makes her own headlines gets in the way of the big picture.
  17. 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.
  18. Lady Chatterley
    There's an adult life force in every frame of this luxuriously paced work, even in the sight of rain and a lady's stocking.
  19. You Kill Me
    Inert dud of a hitmen-are-people-too comedy.
  20. Manufactured Landscapes
    Jennifer Baichwal's gorgeous documentary Manufactured Landscapes amplifies the powerful work of Edward Burtynsky, a Canadian artist who specializes in large-scale photographs of terrain transformed by civilization into rivers and tides of industrial ugliness.

    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.
  22. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    The dialogue aims young and low, and sounds translated from comic-book Esperanto.
  23. Nancy Drew
    The culprit, I'd say, is the uninteresting casting of Miss Roberts in the title role. She's a pleasant enough performer, but her made-for-teen-TV acting style, a perky blandness, doesn't supply a clue as to the appeal of Nancy Drew after all these years.
  24. Eagle vs Shark
    It's a tale that reduces angst, not to mention love, to a generational tic.
  25. When the Road Bends: Tales of a Gypsy Caravan
    An irresistibly vibrant concert-tour documentary.
  26. Macbeth
    The words belong to Mr. Shakespeare. All else in this Macbeth is the pleasurably fevered invention of brash Australian director Geoffrey Wright.
  27. Lights in the Dusk
    There's great music, an excellent dog, and that indescribable Kaurismäki tension between misery and a cosmic joke.
  28. Ocean's Thirteen
    In a world ruled by process, is compassion still real? Or is it just another scam? In Ocean's Thirteen, it is deviously, and merrily, both.
  29. Hostel: Part II
    An authentic real-world creep show -- better, if anything, than its predecessor.
  30. Surf's Up
    An animated family movie about penguins -- in the wake of "March of the Happy Feet," they're the Angelina Jolie of animals, both cute and admired everywhere. Plus, it's about surfing.
