  1. Heartbreaker
    Paradis - Johnny Depp's real-life love - is as blank as she is beautiful. But Duris is so gung-ho that he turns each ridiculous premise into a masterpiece of comic mayhem.
  2. Run All Night
    Fatigue is all we get from Run All Night.
  3. We Own the Night
    When it goes wrong, specifically when Bobby is given a badge like an angry Earp brother in "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral," the story turns into something barely at the level of a TV cop show.
  4. I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life & Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal
    The scourge of the 20th century has become a sage and hero to a new generation of haters.
  5. Ice Age: The Meltdown
    A good-natured, gag-filled sequel.
  6. Lakeboat
    Students of acting will appreciate the relish with which the characters bite off juicy chunks of dialogue.

  7. Nico and Dani
    Director Gay deals so honestly with the boys' emotions, it's almost a revelation when compared to Hollywood fabrications.
  8. Signs
    Shyamalan has learned from his idol (Spielberg) how to manipulate audience emotion through the intimacy of an ordinary family that is "contacted." But he is even more shameless about it.
  9. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
    Turns out to be less than the sum of its wonderfully silly and bizarre parts.
  10. Langrishe Go Down
    Watching these pros in a dance of things unsaid is breathtaking, but it's a lugubrious, claustrophobic tale.
  11. Intact
    First-time feature director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's dark, complex allegory about luck, chance and fate is one of the year's most morbidly fascinating foreign films.
  12. The Front Line
    While its tone and humanity offset the futility of each side's need for one crucial hill, much of this intense, honorable film is too drawn-out.
  13. Bridget Jones's Baby
    This somewhat predictable and trend-obsessed comedy about what happens when a woman of a certain age ends up expecting, and unsure of the parentage, is pregnant with comedy gold.
  14. A Very British Gangster
    Charismatic and complicated, Noonan tries to run the movie the way he runs his town. But while the director sometimes appears to be glorifying Noonan's choices, reminders of uncomfortable reality intrude regularly.

    Elvis & Nixon
    Johnson’s film is filled with tedium instead of delirium.
  16. Legally Blonde
    Like all blond jokes, Legally Blonde is basically meanspirited, and that's when it's funniest.
  17. Cars 3
    There’s a new “Cars” pulling into theaters, but the series is out of gas.
  18. Moonlight Mile
    Jake Gyllenhaal is 21 and looks as though he's going on 16. This is not a problem for films like "Lovely & Amazing" and "The Good Girl"-- It is a problem in Moonlight Mile, where he plays a grown man recovering from the murder of his fiancée.
  19. Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
    As a full-length film this fashion industry over-the-top farce about two hot messes behaving badly — and boozily — is both too much and too little.
  20. The Dead Lands
    National Geographic meets the WWE in this brutal, brawling revenge tale set in pre-Colonial New Zealand, mixing insight into indigenous Maori culture with barked dialogue and vicious arterial sprays, making for a simple but exciting adventure.
  21. Pearl Jam Twenty
    Kurt Cobain, TicketMaster and the tragic concert in Roskilde, Denmark, are addressed through plentiful backstage footage. If only it was about something other than rockers almost irked they got famous.
  22. Savages
    Stone relies on his leads to guide us into this hyper-charged inferno, and they fit his juiced-up approach like James Woods and Woody Harrelson did in Stone's equally hopped-up "Salvador" and "Natural Born Killers." He gets us high on what they're selling before it goes south.
  23. Roll Bounce
    Whether today's tweens will go for such wholesomely retro entertainment is questionable, but their parents - at least the ones who once donned rainbow knee socks and too-tight Calvins - will love to love it, baby.
  24. Molière
    The actors elevate what might have been fluff into a genuinely moving tale, and the action is so much fun that it doesn't even matter if you've seen Molière's plays before.
  25. The Lie
    It doesn't try too hard, but what The Lie is working at, in its unassuming, amusing way, is a mini-portrait of growing pains in a time of extended adolescence. The truth is, that kind of thing is never easy, no matter what age.
  26. Mission: Impossible
    The movie comes alive in bursts such as a train-top fight hampered by gale-force winds. Cruise's star wattage may hog the show, but it insures that Mission: Impossible won't self-destruct easily.
  27. The Sticky Fingers of Time
    Nothing if not original.
  28. Confidence
    As pulp entertainment, Confidence is great fun and Foley's first good movie since the very different "Glengarry Glen Ross."
  29. American Pimp
    Genuinely entertaining and, thanks to a well of self-deluded quotes from the men, shockingly funny.
  30. Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi
    Deftly composed of many small moments, this gentle Israeli film skirts politics to portray a family that is blessedly normal in its internal chaos.
