  1. Rabbit-Proof Fence
    Here, Noyce lets his camera, the geography and the youngsters tell this exceptionally powerful story.
  2. The Century of the Self
    It will make you laugh, and feel like crying.
  3. Whale Rider
    Pai is resourceful and in harmony with the natural world in a way that will charm and enthrall young viewers.
  4. Sunset Story
    It's a poignant, realistic depiction of the ­elderly, far from the typical view of them as quaint and useless.
  5. Minority Report
    By turns silly and amazing, a mishmash of Kubrickian devices accompanied by a steady Spielbergian drip of sentimentality.

  6. The Simpsons Movie
    A very funny, solidly entertaining movie that, despite its unshakable obsesion with undergarments, is as sweet as a Kwik-E-Mart Squishee.
  7. Set Me Free
    A slice of life that adds up to exactly the sum of its parts, no more, no less.
  8. Jung (War) in the Land of the Mujaheddin
    It is an excruciating experience. But then, it would have to be. We're watching the distilled essence of war.
  9. Riding Giants
    A breathtaking visual history of big wave surfing. This is vicarious daredevilry at its best.
  10. Room 237
    What Room 237 is really about is how movies inspire passion. Which is a great thing, even if it comes out in wack-job ways.
  11. Lady Chatterley
    It captures the animal attraction we call lust and carefully tracks its evolution to true love. For all its faults, this beautifully shot, sexually graphic film is a gem.
  12. Irma Vep
    Irma Vep is a glorious mishmash, like the medium it celebrates.

  13. Call Me Kuchu
    The very best — and, alas, the very worst — of human nature is captured in this heartbreaking and inspiring documentary.
  14. In the Mirror of Maya Deren
    Kudlácek's primary focus, however, is on Deren's work, which means we don't learn enough about her complex, fascinating personality. On the other hand, she's offering a too-rare opportunity to see substantial portions of Deren's seminal films.
  15. Berberian Sound Studio
    Fans of Dario Argento and Mario Bava will appreciate the references. Even for newcomers, there are minor chords to enjoy. If only there were less screaming.
  16. Tokyo Sonata
    Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa is better known for horror films; this is a movie where the horror is internalized, and hideously truthful.
  17. Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story
    More fun than a company picnic - and a lot more fun than the classic 18th century novel that inspired it - Michael Winterbottom's Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story is the first good comedy of 2006.
  18. Good Night, and Good Luck.
    The biggest little movie of the year - and one of the best ever about the news media.
  19. Human Resources
    The result is an undeniable and effective authenticity.
  20. Deep Water
    This fine documentary mixes archival footage, interviews with the sailor's family and sponsors, and - most amazingly - excerpts from the film and audiotape diary kept by Crowhurst.
  21. Clouds of Sils Maria
    This is the film that fulfills whatever promise Kristen Stewart has shown for more than a decade.
  22. Coraline
    An extraordinary achievement that nevertheless falls short of its full potential, Coraline is absolutely worth seeing, for older children and adults alike. But the connection will be entirely through your eyes; if you want it to touch your heart, you'll have to go to the book on which it's based.
  23. The Uncondemned
    The film will stay with its audience long after the closing credits — and inspire a deep hope that a film of its kind never has to be made again.
  24. Goodbye First Love
    Some of this wallowing goes on too long, risking our alienation from characters who are difficult to like. What saves the film is the fact that they are always easy to recognize, both as self-centered teenagers and tentatively maturing young adults.
  25. Little Miss Sunshine
    A charmer, a comedy with drama -- or vice versa.
  26. Sweetgrass
    The filmmakers' motivation couldn't be clearer: They needed to capture a way of life that may soon exist only on film and in memory.
  27. The Last of the Unjust
    Though it’s more testimonial exhibit than movie, “Unjust” remains a crucial document.
  28. West of Memphis
    Certainly, the West Memphis 3 deserve more chances to detail how the justice system went nightmarishly awry. But take this as ultimately more personal journal than investigation.
  29. Last Resort
    A slice of life in the most profound sense.
  30. Fever Heat [re-release]
    Looks a lot like 1950s American gangster films -- particularly, John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle" -- but it's decidedly French in its sexual candor and moral laissez-faire.
