  1. November
    The depth of the story and the characters is awfully slight to bear the weight of such fancy editing. But the performances are crisp and in focus, with Cox in particular showing a photogenic feel for expressing grief.
  2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
    Those Oompa-Loompas are the beat, and soul, of Burton's finest movie since "Ed Wood": a madhouse kiddie musical with a sweet-and-sour heart.
  3. Wedding Crashers
    Funny, ungirdled romp - a buddy picture about buddies who actually know what women want.
  4. Happy Endings
    There are pleasing outcomes for almost everyone in Happy Endings, and that's not good news.
  5. The Warrior
    Asif Kapadia's blazing feature debut, a gorgeously photographed saga with a fine sense of the way place shapes personality, has won numerous awards in the filmmaker's native Britain.
  6. On the Outs
    On the Outs parses the hopes and terrors of blasted lives with an empathy that never cheapens into pity. The movie wounds as much as it heals, and that's its true power.
  7. Murderball
    The filmmaking is as strong as the subject matter, with an elegant structure.
  8. Dark Water
    A shudder-by-numbers pseudo-J-horror gothic, full of supernatural stunts you feel as if you've seen before the movie even gets to them.
  9. Fantastic Four
    This clumsy, cheesy, chintzy adaptation, with its F/X that look dated the moment you see them, is like something left over from the '60s.
  10. The Beautiful Country
    Inside the Norwegian director's glove of empathy is a fist of unappeasable anger.
  11. Saraband
    Anyone expecting a tender sunset elegy, however, has wandered into the wrong film. Saraband, despite a few wistful moments, is a poison pill of a reunion.
  12. Chronicles
    The moral murk of Crónicas would be more effective if the story weren't so contrived, yet the movie is worth seeing for Leguizamo's sinewy urgency, Alcázar's desperate cleverness as the killer, and the squalid, frantic atmosphere of Latin American hunger.
  13. Rebound
    The whole thing feels like a half-day of community service, which Lawrence walks through good-naturedly.
  14. The Beat That My Heart Skipped
    The Beat That My Heart Skipped lacks the screw-loose existential vibrance of "Fingers," yet it teases out a romantic underside to the original I never quite knew was there.
  15. Undead
    On the level of a no-budget student film in which the shots barely match up into sequences. It's about as much fun as watching blood dry.
  16. The World
    A film of wonderful looseness and innovation. Set free to film fakes, the director is the real thing.
  17. War of the Worlds
    An attack-of-the-aliens disaster film crafted with sinister technological grandeur -- a true popcorn apocalypse.
  18. Tropical Malady
    It took me two viewings to enjoy the landscape of Weerasethakul's mysterious jungle -- so very thick, steamy, and foreign -- without wishing for clearer trail markers.
  19. Bewitched
    The Ephron sisters, sophisticates entrusted with a simple TV situation comedy, lose the magic of the com as they mess with the sit.
  20. Land of the Dead
    In Land of the Dead there are virtually no good parts. The movie is listless and uninspired.
  21. Rize
    As long as it showcases the art of krump, underscoring the dancers with ominous hip-hop beats, Rize is such a vibrant eruption of motion and attitude that you can forgive the film for being disorganized and too skimpy on street-dance history.
  22. Yes
    Parse the philosophy behind the spill of words, though, and you'll find intellectual jumble, junk. Better to nod to Yes as a drowsing chant than take it seriously as a statement of global concerns.
  23. Lila Says
    Lila, played by Vahina Giocante, who resembles a sexed-up young Emma Thompson, is a teasing, 16-year-old blond baby doll with a gleam of perception beyond her years.
  24. March of the Penguins
    Luc Jacquet's exquisitely shot eye-of-God study of a year in the lives of these distinctive birds is a nature film built with a feel for the epic and a love of operatic narrative.
  25. Herbie Fully Loaded
    For those newbies, this update, starring peppery Disney re-do queen Lindsay Lohan as wannabe car racer Maggie Peyton, is as serviceable an introduction as any to the notion of a sentient set of wheels.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Pure
    Pure belongs to Eden, a remarkably strong child actor, and Deadwood's Molly Parker, broken and affecting as his sweaty, gear-crazy mum.
  27. The Perfect Man
    What sin did Heather Locklear commit to deserve her role in The Perfect Man?
  28. The Great Water
    An anguished Macedonian drama.
  29. Me and You and Everyone We Know
    Definition eludes the delicate pleasures of this marvelous, idiosyncratic movie collage.
  30. My Summer of Love
    Pawlikowski has made a romance that becomes a horror movie in which love, more than anything around it, is a delusionary fever to fear.
