  1. Stuck on You
    A two-hour, one-joke comedy that never gets old, Stuck on You is the most mature, consistently funny and satisfyingly sweet movie in the rollicking careers of brother filmmakers Bobby and Peter Farrelly.
  2. Power Trip
    To Devlin's great credit, he keeps us rapt throughout.
  3. Big Fish
    But Burton and August have added ­anger to the mix, and it sours much of the otherwise wondrous tone.
  4. Honey
    A by-the-numbers, let's-put-on-a-show quasi-musical that has absolutely nothing going for it, except Alba.
  5. The Last Samurai
    Cruise isn't horribly miscast, a la Tony Curtis in "The Son of Ali Baba" or John Wayne as Genghis Khan in "The Conqueror," but he doesn't miss by far.
  6. Forget Baghdad: Jews and Arabs - The Iraqi Connection
    Feels a little too much like a film-school project, but it does offer an informative look at a timely issue.
  7. Monsieur Ibrahim
    Omar Sharif certainly doesn't disappoint in Monsieur Ibrahim. The casting alone promises something extraordinary.
  8. What Alice Found
    Digital video is both the blessing and the curse of writer-director A. Dean Bell's well-conceived but underachieved What Alice Found.
  9. The Legend of Leigh Bowery
    Some consider Leigh Bowery a visionary performance artist. Others will see a selfindulgent narcissist. You may want to decide for yourself.
  10. My Flesh and Blood
    Susan Tom has her hands full in Jonathan Karsh's documentary My Flesh and Blood -- she's dealing with her 13 children, most adopted, some with serious maladies. Rarely does one encounter such capable hands.
  11. Valley of Tears
    The town's entrenched racism is impossible to ignore, but the efforts toward change make a compelling history.
  12. Kal Ho Naa Ho
    All three leads grow on you.
  13. In America
    If you're looking for a bit of an uplift, you could do worse among the gloom of so many holiday dramas.
  14. The Triplets of Belleville
    An insanely delicious animated feature.
  15. Bad Santa
    "Ghost World" director Terry Zwigoff, working with a depraved script by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, has fashioned the sickest -- and funniest -- black comedy in years.
  16. The Haunted Mansion
    A tepid comedy whose only saving grace is the face of Jennifer Tilly in a crystal ball.
  17. Timeline
    An instant contender for cult status on the midnight-movie circuit, where lines like "Do we look like quantum wormhole specialists?" will be given the respect they deserve.
  18. The Cooler
    When you realize The Cooler is not a comedy but a dark and violent love story, it's hard to reconcile its premise with its mood. The saving graces are the performances of William H. Macy as Bernie and Maria Bello.
  19. 21 Grams
    As darkness falls over the movie landscape comes the year's darkest and best movie of them all - Alejandro González Iñárritu's 21 Grams.
  20. The Cat in the Hat
    Everything to treasure about that magical, slightly malevolent feline of childhood verse is obliterated in the coarse, charmless Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat.
  21. Gothika
    French director Mathieu Kassovitz Frenches this flimsy tale to death. No scene goes underplayed, no performance (save one, from Robert Downey Jr.) lacks volume, no horror cliche is forgotten.
  22. The Barbarian Invasions
    A deeply felt celebration of the life force, as embodied in Girard's fierce performance as a man who may not have done all he could, but had an enviably great time on the way.
  23. Acts of Worship
    Reeder makes a compelling lost soul, so that even the most soddenly moralistic moments are worth watching.
  24. Blue Gate Crossing
    A lovely little coming-of-age story, this Taiwanese romance was directed by Chih-Yen Yee with a skillful subtlety enhanced by his young cast.
  25. El leyton
    Given the subject matter, the movie is almost fatally lacking in passion.
  26. The Missing
    It's a big snooze because we can't take the main characters seriously.
  27. Anything But Love
    Not to be cruel, but the aspirations of the movie and its principals are so far beyond their reach" not to mention budget"that it arrives in theaters dependent on the kindness of strangers.
  28. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
    As gorgeous and gripping as it is faithful to the spirit of Patrick O'Brian's celebrated series of historical novels.
  29. Looney Tunes: Back in Action
    I've laughed harder during a single "Road Runner" cartoon than I did throughout Back in Action.
  30. Tupac: Resurrection
    Mostly, it's a story of violence, and it's superbly told.
