  1. Joy Ride
    Joy Ride is plenty spooky but there's also plenty of comic relief -- mostly from the perennially goofy Zahn.
  2. Knafayim Shvurot
    Bergman and his gifted cast do an excellent job portraying the wounded, but still vital, connections that help these people heal even as they fervently believe it's time to give up.
  3. MC5*: A True Testimonial
    Thomas does an excellent job exploring the incendiary environment that shaped the band in the late 1960s. His primary interest, however, is simply to express and explain the thrill the MC5 still inspires.

    Lambert & Stamp
    Many great docs have been made about The Who (including the ecstatic “The Kids Are All Right”), but Lambert & Stamp gets closest to the band’s fragility and unlikely story. It captures the real-life mania that surrounded a group whose music came to embody it.
  5. Attack the Block
    The cast is splendid, the script quick-witted and the action satisfying.
  6. The Wolf of Wall Street
    A delirious, manic, push-the-limits comedy of gaudy amorality that tests the audience’s taste. But it’s a gamble that works, since you leave this adrenaline trip wasted, but invigorated.
  7. Terror's Advocate
    While I understand Vergès' oft-repeated claim that he wants to use these sensational cases to point out that the French were no better than the Nazis in their treatment of colonial subjects, it's impossible to overlook his glib dismissal of his clients' crimes and the smug righteousness that rests in the smirk constantly on his face.
  8. Sweet Land
    Selim's script doesn't hit new territory, but beautiful cinematography takes it just far enough.
  9. In Between Days
    While Kim is unable to keep us riveted on her near-silent performance, the script and direction have a gentle sensitivity.
  10. Win Win
    There's a wonderfully steely spine inside of Tom McCarthy'sWin Win," but it's hard to see at first because it's inside the doughy, everyman person of Paul Giamatti.
  11. Clean
    When these two powerhouse performers come together, a rather predictable tale ignites with surprising force.
  12. Heaven Knows What
    There’s never a false moment.
  13. Touch the Sound: A Sound Journey with Evelyn Glennie
    The result is a feast for the senses.
  14. Croupier
    There are certainly glimpses of his underused talent. But there aren't enough of those moments to elevate Croupier above the level of routine melodrama.
  15. Tumbleweeds
    What keeps these mother-daughter tumbleweeds from drifting right out of consciousness is the unique rapport between the actresses.

    The Cider House Rules
    "I write 19th-century stories; they're supposed to affect you emotionally," says Irving, explaining why Tinseltown keeps knocking at his door.
  17. Girl on the Bridge
    Hand-held cameras give their surface showbiz relationship a sense of immediacy that, like love itself, has more than a hint of danger.
  18. Jing Ke ci Qin Wang
    Based on the true story of the first emperor of unified China, could be downsized and told as an American Western.
  19. The Crucible
    Ryder is particularly impressive in her destructive passion. [27 Nov 1996, p.39]

  20. Goodbye to Language 3D
    At only 70 minutes, Goodbye to Language, a Cannes Film Fest Grand Prix winner, has no discernible plot. It’s more like whiffs of a story we sense happening somewhere outside the film.
  21. Lost in La Mancha
    Lost in La Mancha basically catches "Don Quixote" in free fall…It's our loss nonetheless. Gilliam is one of the great film fantasists of our age, and one expects he would have done Cervantes proud.
  22. Infernal Affairs
    The plot is intricate and tight. The preamble is a bit challenging to sort out. But the movie's engine is the relationships and the characters' inner lives, all of it boiling with emotional intensity.
  23. Bernie
    Jack Black adds new depths to his slippery comic persona in Bernie, a movie that may not ultimately add up to much, but which is filled with wonderfully odd details of weird Americana.
  24. Chasing Ice
    This amazingly beautiful, and amazingly frightening, documentary captures the immediacy of what climate change is doing to the Arctic landscape.
  25. Bridesmaids
    If this sounds like a typical date movie, worry not. It's very much an Apatow production-though the crasser additions, like his already-notorious food poisoning scene, feel painfully forced.
  26. Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion
    Though the Chinese government won't be too happy about it, everyone else ought to be deeply moved by the tragedies Peosay records.
  27. The Invisible Woman
    Directed tastefully by Ralph Fiennes, The Invisible Woman is very lovely to look at. But it lives up to its own title too well.
  28. Tully
    It’s smart, funny and bursting with ideas about the joys and rigors of motherhood and reckoning with the past and the future. It’s too bad, then, that the final head-scratching stretch sinks what’s preceded.
  29. Elizabeth
    A fascinating whirl of politics and palace intrigue.
  30. The Muppets
    Segel and Nicholas Stoller, who made "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" together, wrote the screenplay for The Muppets with obvious intent: to return these icons to their former glory.
