  1. The Road Home
    With so many cynical Hollywood romances cluttering theaters, Zhang Yimou's unabashed simplicity is most welcome.
  2. A Perfect Day
    Director de Aranoa keeps things moving, though, with a firm sense of pace and a rough, punk-edged soundtrack.
  3. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
    Silly, perfect fun.
  4. Bon voyage
    At times, the giddy tone makes it feel like a musical set on the eve of Pearl Harbor, but the acting is uniformly good and it's an absolutely gorgeous film to watch.
  5. 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.
  6. Baadasssss!
    Both public tribute and private therapy session, Baadasssss! should have been a self-conscious disaster. By confronting his past with wit and style, Van Peebles has instead created a meta-cool history lesson and homage.
  7. Asphalt Zahov
    More than the sum of its parts.
  8. Outsourced
    Josh Hamilton gives a marvelously engaging performance in this fish-out-of-water comedy.

  9. Cloverfield
    Manhattan has always been a fat target for apocalypse filmmakers, but with its 9/11-inspired imagery, Matt Reeves' breathlessly fast-paced Cloverfield is going to resonate with New York audiences in a way no other horror film has.
  10. Elf
    A non-sappy and genuinely adorable confection. It wiped away the Scrooge in me for 90 enchanting minutes.
  11. Joy Ride
    Joy Ride is plenty spooky but there's also plenty of comic relief -- mostly from the perennially goofy Zahn.
  12. Crime and Punishment in Suburbia
    Sloppy, self-satisfied and surprisingly heartfelt.
  13. Pete Seeger: The Power of Song
    It's a tribute to both the subject and his biographer that this story of one man's experience is also a vital chronicle of the times in which he's lived.
  14. Session 9
    A natural successor to "The Blair Witch Project" in terms of its small suggestions of horror past and future.
  15. A Mighty Heart
    The story feels as urgent as the latest bad news out of the Middle East.
  16. Ratcatcher
    A grim, poetic, heart-wrenchingly fine ode to the lost children of Glasgow's forgotten class.

  17. Japanese Story
    Japanese Story could have been a two-character play staged in front of a desert mural. It wouldn't have been as pretty, but it's that tight.
  18. Shark Tale
    Not wildly imaginative, and it has a tepid mix of movie references. But the physical environment and characters make it irresistible.
  19. Shaft
    Violent, cool and street-smart, Shaft supplies everything you want in a summer movie.
  20. Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale
    A fascinating story.
    • New York Daily News
  21. Spy Game
    The script provides an excellent payoff, although action fans may not agree, because that payoff is the equivalent of a Cheshire cat's grin.
  22. Matchstick Men
    The direction is still slick, but Matchstick Men gets most of its thrills from the unknowable in human interaction. This could be the biggest "scam" Scott himself has pulled off.
  23. Miracle
    What is lacking in suspense is more than made up for in passion and in sports cinematography virtuosity.
  24. Pellet
    Could easily serve as an instructional video for repressive regimes who have not yet learned you can get more with honey than with vinegar.
  25. The Weather Underground
    The documentary plays it down the middle, neither condemning nor romanticizing the political outlaws, but making sense of who they were and what they did.
  26. The Good Thief
    With his haggard good looks and bearish presence, Nolte is the main event in this colorful three-ring circus of a heist picture.
  27. James and the Giant Peach
    A handsome, entertaining though emotionally thin animated feature.
  28. Married Life
    It's a sly little fable with at least six very obvious homages to Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, and a dark little heart that happily hides under a double-breasted suit.
  29. Une journée d'Andrei Arsenevitch
    If you're looking for either insight or even just an introduction into the mind of a great artist, "One Day" is worth the effort.
  30. Scream
    Builds to a splattering finale that should leave genre fans highly satisfied.
