  1. Submarine
    A charming indie that combines dreamy aspiration with mucky, hilarious reality.
  2. Superbad
    There is a hint of sentimentality among the pals at the end, but not enough to offset the film's harmless combination of camaraderie and wished-for - oh, how they wish for it - debauchery.
  3. Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
    Sophie Scholl is the subject of a feature film that has earned an Oscar nomination for a Germany she would have loved to live in.
  4. Suzhou River
    This Asian-flavored Hitchcock is a complicated tale with no easy answers.
  5. The Talented Mr. Ripley
    Matt Damon's performance isn't bad, but it pales in comparison with Law's.
  6. The Manchurian Candidate
    The performance of the movie is Liev Schreiber as Shaw, a man howlingly uncomfortable in his own skin.
  7. Down to the Bone
    Farmiga is excellent as a woman who is like the mouse she feeds to her son's pet snake - trapped and about to be eaten alive by ordinary circumstance.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Dead Man's Burden
    Despite visual nods to dozens of classic Westerns, the film cannot break through with its own vision.
  9. Sound City
    Grohl has a longstanding reputation as one of the nicest guys in rock. So it should come as no surprise that this may be the most positive music documentary you'll ever see.
  10. Greenberg
    The movie may wear its shagginess on its sleeve, but Stiller knows exactly what he’s doing.
  11. The Mend
    A terrific, quirky New York-set character piece.
  12. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    Director Niels Arden Oplev keeps the action relatively tight. But he revels in the story’s sadism to an uncomfortable degree, especially in a needlessly vile rape scene. Two more sequels are coming. Here’s hoping there’s just a little less hate in each.
  13. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
    A generation-spanning journey that feels both comfortingly familiar and excitingly original.
  14. Kids for Cash
    It’s worth seeing Robert May’s vital judicial expose — not only to learn about the titular scandal, but also to appreciate both the highs and lows of human resilience.
  15. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    Kempner demonstrates how the star's success and dignified bearing inspired a generation of Jews to fight through the ethnic barriers in all fields.
  16. Taboo
    Impressionistic and open to interpretation, which is a kind way of saying that there's no way to figure out the ending.

  17. OT: Our Town
    Surely no other has done it quite like this group.
  18. State and Main
    Gently hilarious comedy.
  19. Mistress America
    Full of smarts, sly insight and New York personality. As a feather in its jaunty hat, the movie also reinvigorates the art of screwball comedy.
  20. Young@Heart
    One of the most delightful movies to come along this year.
  21. Rango
    The latest collaboration between Verbinski ("Pirates of the Caribbean") and Johnny Depp is sharp-edged, surreal, and often astonishing in its giddy creativity. What it is not, however, is a family film.
  22. The Art of the Steal
    Argott treats Barnes' story as an intellectual crime thriller, uncovering each new surprise -- and a seemingly endless parade of villains -- with a deadpan flourish.
  23. Tokyo Godfathers
    Though he's working with an unavoidably sentimental story, Kon embraces the dark underside of his characters' lives, giving this animated film a satisfyingly three-dimensional feel.
  24. Fear and Trembling
    A marvelous cross between "Secretary" and "Lost in Translation."
  25. Man on the Train
    One of the small pleasures of the movie is likely to escape American audiences. The bank robber is played by Johnny Hallyday, a pop icon of great magnitude in France, and the old man is played by Jean Rochefort, an acting staple of that country's cinema. The mere juxtaposition of these two personalities forms a comic set of expectations.
  26. Power Trip
    To Devlin's great credit, he keeps us rapt throughout.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Matt Shepard Is a Friend of Mine
    This heartbreaking documentary should be shown in every high school and college — and everywhere intolerance is suspected.
  28. Boy A
    If Hitchcock had done a coming-of-age drama, it might have resembled this haunting, nervous, sad movie about an early twentysomething.
  29. The Trip to Italy
    Coogan and Brydon make terrific companions for us partially because, at least as they appear onscreen, they’re so amusingly incompatible themselves.
  30. Lovely & Amazing
    By turns cheerful, funny and melancholy, and at all times honest, Nicole Holofcener's Lovely and Amazing stands out in the current run of ensemble women's films.
