  1. Monsieur Ibrahim
    Omar Sharif certainly doesn't disappoint in Monsieur Ibrahim. The casting alone promises something extraordinary.
  2. Adorenarin doraibu
    Feels like any number of forgettable American teen comedies in which the nerd gets the girl and/or the money.
  3. Hitler's Children
    It's always dispiriting to see an ideal subject given shallow treatment, and one spends most of this documentary wishing a more experienced director had made it.
  4. Ong Bak
    Every action scene is a spectacularly choreographed set piece. At one point, Jaa literally fights with feet of fire. Unfortunately, whenever he comes down to earth, so does the movie.
  5. We Live in Public
    A snapshot of several New York eras that coincide with the Internet's growing pains, We Live in Public focuses on entrepreneur, party-thrower and dot.com bubble participant Josh Harris.
  6. Compliance
    Director Craig Zobel's indie, based on real cases, has a sharp psychological point and a can't-look-away quality even as it turns horrifically dark.
  7. Infamous
    I don't know if that makes Infamous a better movie, but it's certainly as good and a lot more fun. British actor Toby Jones is so physically right in the role, you'll think Capote is playing himself.
  8. Star Trek Beyond
    It's not only filled with the usual special-effects eye candy, but smart, fan-focused writing.
  9. A Sinner in Mecca
    People often use the term “dangerous filmmaking.” Here is someone willing to put his life on the line for his art.
  10. Primo Levi's Journey
    The film lacks a certain coherence, and Levi - one of Italy's most important postwar writers - is mostly relegated to an excuse for a sociopolitical travelogue.
  11. North Country
    North Country may be a simplistic account of a hard-won battle, but it will have audiences cheering.
  12. Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?)
    Director John Scheinfeld's film, utilizing interviews with friends and collaborators, hits a high note on Nilsson's friendship with Ringo Starr and his fear of stage performance.
  13. Bullhead
    Schoenaerts capably handles a difficult role that's equal parts pathetic, repulsive and heartbreaking. But you'll need a strong will to spend your time with such a tragically hopeless character.
  14. The Business of Being Born
    Passionate, enlightening and unabashedly one-sided, Abby Epstein's documentary is not for everyone. But at the very least, it should be seen by every pregnant woman in America.
  15. Like Crazy
    The trailer for Like Crazy is one of the best of the year, and I couldn't wait to see the movie that inspired it. Turns out, the film itself plays like one long trailer, a collection of moments and montages that hint at, but never quite achieve, a fully realized whole.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Equity
    The always strong Gunn does her best with the very familiar, quickly paced storyline.
  17. The Hunger Games
    As tough-spirited as fans would hope for - and exciting and thought-provoking in a way few adventure dramas ever are.
  18. The War Zone
    Showing as much courage and talent behind the camera as he has while acting in front of it, Roth has crafted for his first film one of the most bluntly graphic and disturbing movies ever done on the subject.
  19. Così ridevano
    A ponderously slow experience.
  20. Chain Camera
    Often tedious, sometimes fascinating anthology.
  21. Jump Tomorrow
    An enjoyable trip, as long as you don't mind traveling light.
  22. A Housekeeper
    No one makes something out of nothing like the French, and in this wispy tale about a jilted middle-age man and the very young housekeeper who briefly lights up his life, writer-director Claude Berri's got plenty of nothing.
  23. In My Skin
    Even aside from the metaphorical aspect, this may be the first movie to give a precise sense of what drives people who self-mutilate.
  24. The Yes Men
    A sobering documentary done in a whimsical style.
  25. Step Up To The Plate
    While foodies are sure to feel sated by the gastronomic splendors of Paul Lacoste's debut documentary, others may walk out with a strange sense of emptiness.
  26. Valentino: The Last Emperor
    Lively and affectionate, Matt Tyrnauer's documentary is made for those who believe, as he does, that the work of fashion designer Valentino is worthy of the most respectful chronicle.
  27. A Somewhat Gentle Man
    Hans Petter Moland's dry Scandinavian wit is just amusing enough to keep us interested in this dramedy.
  28. Casino Jack and the United States of Money
    That the film is overlong ultimately testifies to its importance, though after a while, the outrageous details start to run together like surreal satire. Except, of course, that it's all true.
  29. Bhutto
    It's a fascinating story, and too epic to be contained here. But the directors certainly capture our interest, even as they leave us wanting to know more.
  30. Afterglow
    At his best, as he is here, Rudolph is always able to locate the emotional reality inside the dream. [26Dec1997 Pg53]
