  1. Music from the Inside Out
    With a soundtrack that ranges from classical to jazz to bluegrass, this is not only an obvious choice for ­music lovers, but required viewing for anyone interested in the mysteries of creative inspiration.
  2. Through the Fire
    Superb, ultimately exhilarating account of Coney Island basketball phenom Sebastian Telfair's senior year at Lincoln High.
  3. Sir! No Sir!
    This is powerful stuff, offering us not only a new look at the past, but to the unavoidably relevant insights into the present.
  4. Band of Outsiders
    The strangely mesmerizing dance contest in "Pulp Fiction" was born of Jean-Luc Godard's 1964 New Wave classic Band of Outsiders.
  5. Day Night Day Night
    Offers a chillingly effective look at the ease with which a suicide bomber could wreak havoc on U.S. soil - specifically in Times Square.
  6. Drillbit Taylor
    Even if this movie doesn't quite hit the highs of its predecessor, it's nice to know that there are still filmmakers ready to respect the eternal struggles of freaks and geeks.

    D.E.B.S.
    Cute, campy and as proudly insubstantial as its heroines' micro-miniskirts, D.E.B.S. deftly fulfills its Jane Bond fantasies without so much as breaking a nail.
  8. Domestic Violence
    Wiseman's film is revealing. But it is also a silent rebuke to a society that tries to hide this pervasive problem behind a smug vision of itself.
  9. Charlie Wilson's War
    Of all the Middle East-theme movies this season, Mike Nichols' Charlie Wilson's War is the least political and most entertaining. That doesn't mean it's great, just that it's unimportant.
  10. Out of Time
    The tension of Matt having to work alongside his wife without being able to trust her provides the movie's real electricity, sexual and otherwise.
  11. The Greatest Game Ever Played
    LaBeouf ("Holes") has a scrubbed, ego-free innocence that is perfect for his working-class hero.
  12. Up at the Villa
    All of Haas' movies have an air of weirdness and dread, and this one is no exception. But it's romantic as well.
  13. Wonder Boys
    Among the movie's oddball treats are Robert Downey Jr. as Grady's flamboyant editor and Rip Torn as a pedantic author and sermonizer known only as Q.
  14. 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.
  15. Death at a Funeral
    It takes a while for Frank Oz's ensemble black comedy Death at a Funeral to hit its deliriously nutty stride. But when it does, the laughs don't stop until the movie, like the subject of its family get-together, has taken its last breath.
  16. The Claim
    Its sprawling canvas is mere backdrop for the most intimate of character studies -- a portrait of a man who chose material wealth and found emotional ruin.
  17. Read My Lips
    A gritty thriller on the theme of the con man conned. It works as well as it does thanks to a captivating lead performance by Emmanuelle Devos and the superb direction of Jacques Audiard.
  18. Austin Powers in Goldmember
    The best way to look at this installment, however, is as musical theater of the absurd. The song-and-dance set pieces are brilliant, including a rap-style "It's a Hard Knock Life" in a prison.
  19. How I Killed My Father
    The acting is superb, with emotions roiling beneath rigid exteriors.
  20. Confidence
    As pulp entertainment, Confidence is great fun and Foley's first good movie since the very different "Glengarry Glen Ross."
  21. Enchanted
    While Enchanted wittily updates traditional tales, it is, in the end, as carefully calculated in its appeal as any movie ever was.
  22. The Tao of Steve
    Outside of the leads, the acting is uneven, but The Tao of Steve has an unquenchable playful spirit.
  23. The Faculty
    This alien high school sci-fi tale has clever wit, clever FX.

  24. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
    A gentle comic stew of monster movies, adding dashes of Bugs Bunny irreverence and British gentility.
  25. Demonlover
    Sharp, erotic performances are the mainstay of Olivier Assayas' unnerving Demonlover, a visually stylish movie that equates and fuses high-stakes corporate negotiations with the video-game mentality.
  26. The Heartbreak Kid
    Though the sitcom humor of this is much broader and funnier than in May's film, it is also the part most faithful in spirit to the original.
  27. Walk the Line
    What Walk the Line does well, it does really well. Mangold was ­wisely gen­erous with the amount of musical performance he included in the film, and the later scenes - showing Cash and Carter as partners - are so well shot and edited, they defy you to sit still.
  28. Why We Fight
    Whether we've reached the critical mass of "misplaced power" is the gist of the current national debate, and Why We Fight is a useful tool in that argument.
  29. Angela's Ashes
    The question is not whether the movie exactly duplicates the experience of the book, but whether the movie stands on its own. Angela's Ashes clearly does.
  30. The Craft
    With its sense of what can be accomplished on a small budget, The Craft suggests the classic B-horrors of the '40s particularly The Cat People and The Seventh Victim.
