  1. Disturbia
    If it's possible to be a rip-off with wit, Disturbia qualifies.
  2. Grindhouse
    Grindhouse, like "Ed Wood" and "Boogie Nights," celebrates how certain low-grade entertainment, viewed in hindsight, looks different now than it did then, since we can see the ''innocence'' of its creation -- the handmade quality of it -- in a world not yet ruled by corporate technology.
  3. The Hoax
    Gere is terrific at suggesting the kind of addictive cocktail of excitement, panic, chutzpah, creativity, and naked hunger for fame and megabucks that might inspire such big, fat lies.
  4. The TV Set
    If only for the comedy glory of Sigourney Weaver as a TV network president who confuses acid reflux with gut instinct, this very smart, very funny movie about the making of a network sitcom is a cut-glass gem of a showbiz conceit.
  5. The Reaping
    No belief on earth can rescue Swank from a film that's a chain of disaster chintz masquerading as a sermon.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Are We Done Yet?
    Atrocious sequel.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Firehouse Dog
    The terrier Rexxx might be the least appealing mutt ever to slobber on screen.
  8. Black Book
    Black Book may be the looniest use of the Holocaust as a playground since Roberto Benigni served up his infernal clown act in "Life Is Beautiful."
  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. Blades of Glory
    Blades of Glory has funny moves even when its characters can barely move, but the film seldom gets past its one basic laugh: that a real man figure-skating is a contradiction in terms.
  11. The Lookout
    A thriller that wheezes along on bits and pieces of ''character.''
  12. Meet the Robinsons
    Who knows whether the project is meant to be earnest, ironic, post-ironic, made for adults, made for kids, made to teach lessons, or made to be watched in an altered state? All or none...jeez, this thing is one bumpy ride.
  13. After the Wedding
    Talented filmmaker Susanne Bier (Brothers), armed with an outstanding compositional sense, keeps control over the storms of melodrama that swirl in this rich weepie.
  14. Sacco and Vanzetti
    It's cleansing to see the facts laid out with intimacy and rigor, and the film earns the comparison it makes to the squelching of due process for some of today's terror suspects.
  15. Shooter
    The ultimate crime of this paranoid enemy-of-the-state pulp, directed with more style than brains by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), is how dull it is.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The Hills Have Eyes II
    A retro horror-comedy featuring quick deaths and cheapo-looking gore, with a few dorky laughs and gross-outs but not so many scares.
  17. The Last Mimzy
    The newcomer kids are delightfully...kidlike. Cosmic bonus: "The Office's" Rainn Wilson plays a New Agey science teacher.
  18. Pride
    Pride doesn't have much surprise, but it's a formula picture of genuine feeling.
  19. Reign Over Me
    A strange, black-and-blue therapeutic drama equally mottled with likable good intentions and agitating clumsiness.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    TMNT
    This all-CG reboot is missing the goofy excitement of the old TMNT.
  21. Air Guitar Nation
    When C-Diddy (a.k.a. David Jung), in his samurai superman suit, does his note-perfect, lip-twisting, belly-jiggling manic mime of Extreme's ''Play With Me,'' it's hard not to grin and admit that, yes, this is almost an art form.
  22. Color Me Kubrick
    The film reveals, rather delectably, how potent the power of suggestion can be in a world gone madly groupie.
  23. First Snow
    First Snow is essentially a short story with a metaphysical twist, but Pearce puts his fears more up front than any actor I can think of.
  24. Offside
    Jafar Panahi's wonderfully funny, outspoken shaggy-dog story, a light counterweight to his sadder 2000 feminist drama "The Circle."
  25. The Prisoner or: How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair
    Eight months of interrogation and torture in fetid Abu Ghraib followed before he was released, innocent. None of The Prisoner's showy flourishes -- animation, sound effects, fancy editing -- can match the power of Abbas' stillness as he describes one man's agony in one huge hell.
  26. Dead Silence
    Terrified of puppets? Enjoy being scared? Then you'll be half-satisfied with Dead Silence, a rote horror pantomime.
  27. I Think I Love My Wife
    I Think I Love My Wife has got to be the unlikeliest French New Wave classic ever to be retrofitted by a famous African-American stand-up comedian best known for his stinging social commentary -- at least until Dave Chappelle remakes Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" as a hip-hop caper.
  28. Premonition
    One piece of advice in trying to make sense of it all: Follow the sleepwear, since Bullock cycles through a few garments that clarify which day is which. Another suggestion? Ignore the two-bit psychological and spiritual doggerel with which screenwriter Bill Kelly tries to deepen the meaning of the game.
  29. The Wind That Shakes the Barley
    If Loach had given full voice to each side of this division, he could have made a great film -- maybe THE great film -- about the Irish struggle.
  30. American Cannibal: The Road to Reality
    The writers act shocked at how low they are stooping, but given their desire to write sitcoms, you have to wonder.
