    Punch-Drunk Love
    It works because of Anderson's ability to challenge viewer expectations. Instead of making his principal actors change, he manipulates the story and dialogue to match their characters. His exquisite art-house camera shots and sense of pacing set Sandler up to do his usual thing in an almost poetic manner.
  2. Family Fundamentals
    The result is a mature, graceful and extraordinary accomplishment.
  3. How to Draw a Bunny
    Maybe How to Draw a Bunny itself is really Ray Johnson's final testament, created with a mischievous wink from beyond the grave. After watching this extraordinary documentary, one has no doubt that such an act is well within Johnson's creative powers.
  4. Bloody Sunday
    A gripping experience, and often downright sickening.
  5. Red Dragon
    The only downside to this delectable third course? The regrettable likelihood that Lecter fans will have to make do without dessert.
  6. Siddhartha (re-release)
    An extraordinary achievement on all possible levels.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Skins
    The supporting characters suffer from excruciating one dimensionality since none of them really have anything to do but look forlorn and opine about days past.
  8. The Man from Elysian Fields
    Smart and full of sharply drawn characters and wonderfully snappy dialogue.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Biggie and Tupac
    Perhaps that's what makes thus such a compelling documentary; it will grip even viewers who aren't interested in rap, as it cuts to the heart of American society in an unnerving way.
  10. Sweet Home Alabama
    Goes south early and its director never comes close to turning things around.
  11. Moonlight Mile
    An emotionally honest film, but it would have been far more affecting if it felt more true to life.
  12. Daydream Believer
    Eisenstadt does an excellent job bringing the story of an ambitious young woman setting out to fulfill a dream full circle.
  13. The Mesmerist
    The resulting concoction is a cinematic elixir that disappoints, no matter how much hypnosis one is under.
  14. Trapped
    The first half of Luis (Angel Eyes) Mandoki's new thriller is as whiteknuckle, nerve-wracking as they come. The second is such a mishmash of overblown action and gaping plotholes, it's hard to believe it's the work of the same director.
  15. Joshua
    There's a fine line between inspiration and manipulation, and from its first frame, Joshua crosses it and never looks back.

    Secretary
    A bizarre flick. It moves a little apprehensively between comedy, drama and then, erotic romance, with the central players' excellent performances (especially newcomer Gyllenhaal) suffering because of the film’s indecisions.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Invincible
    There are some realistic, scary themes at work here that make it worth a look.
  18. Slap Her... She's French
    It's funny, sassy and enjoyable, even though the screenplay is rather weak.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ted Bundy
    One of those films that makes you walk out muttering dark things about the future of the human race.
  20. The Children of the Century
    The art direction and costumes are gorgeous and finely detailed, and Kurys' direction is clever and insightful. Even so, it feels very, very long.
  21. Barbershop
    Much like how its employees and patrons don't want to see the barbershop close, once one has become acquainted with these people and this place, one may not want Barbershop to end.
  22. Quitting
    Particularly wrenching in its depiction of the father-son relationship.
  23. Stealing Harvard
    After watching this movie, you get the feeling that there’s a lot of people at Harvard who’ve done worse things than rob a bank to get in.
  24. The Dogwalker
    A pleasant enough little film. Jerry isn’t what one would call a sympathetic figure, but you find yourself cheering for him anyway.
  25. City by the Sea
    The saccharine conclusion would be problematic in any film, but given how much talent is involved, it's especially disappointing here.
  26. Swimfan
    Doesn't even reach the campy, trashy highs (or should I say "lows"?) of "The Crush."
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Burning Man: The Burning Sensation
    It would be nearly impossible to make a totally bad documentary about the festival, but I have yet to see the perfect documentary depiction of Burning Man.
  28. The Execution of Wanda Jean
    Believe it or not, most of the empathy here is with Wand Jean's legal team. Yes, the lawyers.
  29. The Big Carnival
    So ham-handed and relentlessly overbaked that it is easy to see why audiences initially stayed away from it. Just when and how did anyone come to see this as a classic?
  30. FeardotCom
    I feel guilty and somehow unclean. And all I did was watch it.
