  1. Journey to the Sun
    A remarkable second feature from writer-director Yesim Ustaoglu.
  2. My Country, My Country
    Hard to watch but important to see.
  3. Amazing Grace
    Compelling and highly informative.
  4. I'm Not Scared
    A plague of child kidnappings in Italy during the '70s provides the background for this chilling, deceptively simple tale of a rural boy who unearths terrible family secrets and rises to the moral challenge they present.
  5. Bring It On
    Clever, slightly edgy fun.
  6. Mansfield Park
    O'Connor plays Fanny with an appealingly direct, unflinching gaze.
  7. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
    The production is fantastically funny, high-energy camp, punctuated by Trask's infectious score and by Mitchell, dressing in a succession of wigs twice the size of his body.
  8. Rosenstrasse
    Director Margarethe von Trotta nearly buries the drama of the protest itself within the awkwardly sentimental framework of a contemporary New Yorker's quest to learn the truth of her widowed German mother's grief and history. But while the film concentrates on Lena, eloquently portrayed by Katja Riemann, the movie earns your empathy.
  9. ZigZag
    The greatest strength of this modest production is Jones. ZigZag's autism is mild, meaning his symptoms are subtle, and the 19-year-old novice is completely convincing.
  10. Autumn Tale
    One of Rohmer's more engaging slices of life. The acting is impeccable.
  11. The Secret Life of Words
    Given the physical limitations of their characters, Polley and Robbins give remarkably compelling performances, and though the resolution of their slowly evolving relationship is a bit too pat, it is one you won't soon forget.
  12. Lust, Caution
    I didn't feel the love between the flowering idealist and the ruthless killer. If I did, I would have given the movie four stars. Everything else is wonderful.

  13. Silver City
    It comes off as a fairly straightforward assault on the kind of political corruption that has crossed party lines in movies since the dawn of the medium, and in books before that. The pleasure here is in the dialogue, the characters and the cast.

    The Terminator
    It's rather confusing. But in the context of this wildly imaginative movie, it's all, rather exciting, too.
  15. Voyages
    Although Voyages is mapped with anguish and fear, director Emmanuel Finkiel's characters are survivors, and he never lets us forget it.
  16. Ghosts of the Abyss
    Though younger fans of Cameron's 1997 blockbuster may be a little disappointed at the lack of, well, Leo, Cameron persuades us to share his obsession with the ship's history.
  17. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
    The remarkable footage includes damning evidence of how the media, the people and the army were manipulated. Which leads to that eternal question - if it's not on TV, did it really happen?
  18. Garden State
    Sometimes veers off into preciosity. But it offers something rare in the bond between Andrew and Sam.
  19. The Motorcycle Diaries
    There is no great story being told here. Mostly, it is a conventional road movie - a buddy comedy even - about the quests of two likable guys. The memoirs exist only because of Guevara's subsequent fame as a revolutionary leader in Cuba, Congo and Bolivia.
  20. Ladder 49
    There's a lot of flashy acting going, notably by Travolta, who has not been more engaging on-screen in a decade, and by newcomer Barrett, a willowy Aussie who, as a woman living with the specter of death, gives the film's most complete performance.
  21. In the Shadow of the Moon
    And oh, what stories these heroes have to tell - and what incredible sights they brought back with them.
  22. Control Room
    If her (Noujaim's) movie teaches us anything, it's that no reality remains unspun.
  23. The Closet
    A farce nearly as cracked as his previous "The Dinner Game."
  24. Gaudi Afternoon
    Gaudi Afternoon, adapted from Barbara Wilson's novel, is a setup for a smart ensemble comedy, and the cast delivers in hilarious deadpan style.
  25. Monsoon Wedding
    With its colorful embroidery, Monsoon Wedding feels pleasurably grounded in a reality about which most Westerners haven't a clue. This may be their only engraved invitation.
    • New York Daily News
  26. Unknown White Male
    A fascinating, somewhat frightening documentary.
  27. Lassie
    With a respectfully committed cast, gorgeous scenery and two sad-eyed leads that will break your heart (the kid and the dog are equally adorable), this is clearly not your typical family film. Which will make it that much more appealing to every member of your family.
  28. Scary Movie
    The jokes are wild, raunchy, surreal and dead-on.
  29. The Aggressives
    The charismatic young women who populate Daniel Peddle's illuminating documentary are vibrant proof that there's still an untold story waiting around every New York City corner.
  30. Me, Myself & Irene
    Carrey's performance is a tour de force of physical mime.
