  1. 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.
  2. The Pleasures of Being Out of Step
    This mellow chronicle of Nat Hentoff is like a tour through New York’s past.
  3. Gladiator
    If there's a soft spot in your heart for the sword-&-sandal epic -- and from the star rating above, I think you can guess where I stand -- then you'll swoon with giddy delight over Gladiator.
  4. Last Days in the Desert
    Moviegoers don’t get much to chew on either, besides a decent performance by Ewan McGregor as both Jesus and a demon, plus some OMG-worthy landscapes.
  5. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
    As fans of "Freaks and Geeks" know, Segel is a master in the art of humiliation, and it's been a long time since we've seen anyone debase himself so thoroughly for our amusement.
  6. Home
    This is, in its way, a horror movie -- not least because it will burrow into your own brain, as a reminder of all the ways the modern world is making you crazy, too.
  7. Snow Angels
    It does give Sam Rockwell another opportunity to creep us out, and Kate Beckinsale a new shot at believability. Too bad the movie around them meanders.
  8. Thirteen Days
    An excellent movie about a real-life nail-biter, forcefully acted, true to its period and directed with clarity.
  9. Ha-Chaverim Shel Yana
    If you're wondering whether the rules of love change during war, you won't find a better case than the urgent, darkly comic relationship between these two.

  10. 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.
  11. Almost Peaceful
    These are people who are just waking up to life again. It may appear to be the ultimate non-action ­movie, but in the context of these lives, it is the highest kind of ­drama.
  12. Kung Fu Panda 2
    Kung Fu Panda 2 plunks down squarely in the spot marked for "chop-socky action with heart."
  13. Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?
    This hard-working film may not be a balm, but it can help.
  14. Robot and Frank
    No one conveys late-life elegy and cool intellectual cunning like Langella.
  15. Slither
    Slither is neither repetitive nor reverent. It is a dark and hilarious spoof of those movies, one in which both the characters and the audience seem to be in on the jokes.
  16. Future Weather
    The movie works best as a calling card for young Haney-Jardine, whom we can surely expect to see more of on the festival circuit.
  17. In Bruges
    The banter between these unlikely partners seems inspired by Quentin Tarantino's ingeniously insipid dialogue, delivered with indelible deadpan sincerity by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in "Pulp Fiction." Neither the dialogue nor the characters are as interesting here.
  18. Ned Rifle
    Just when it seemed Hal Hartley was going to be forgotten, along comes the Long Island-based auteur’s terrific new feature. It’s a follow-up to his opus “Henry Fool.”
  19. Been Rich All My Life
    An invaluable chapter in the story of our city.
  20. Nocturnal Animals
    It sounds a little too clever, but it's not. It's just clever enough.
  21. Russian Dolls
    Meandering, overlong digital soap opera.
  22. Bolt
    Though every frame is great to look at, Bolt's script - by the co-writers of "Mulan" and "Cars" - lacks the wit of its closest Pixar relative, "The Incredibles." Rhino and some goofy pigeons provide the few laughs once the tale goes cross-country.
  23. In Search of Mozart
    The overall effect is that of a deferential video you might find at a Mozart museum: educational, but not exactly inspiring.
  24. Elevate
    One of the many beautiful things about this affecting, informative doc is the opportunity it gives to see the American college sports world through different eyes.
  25. T2 Trainspotting
    Sequels are tricky things, and decades-late followups are the trickiest. T2 Trainspotting almost pulls it off, too, bringing back the original’s hallucinatory style, jolting musical choices and charismatic cast.
  26. This Is the End
    It's no minor accomplishment to make one of the most indulgent projects in Hollywood history. But with This Is the End, Seth Rogen and his pals have indeed achieved this dubious goal.
  27. The Door in the Floor
    That Williams occasionally comes close to the author's layered spirit is a tribute to his passion. But the film fails on a number of levels. First, it is what it is: the prologue to a story that covers four(!) decades.
  28. Sound of My Voice
    Despite some tough-to-take moments, this challenging, smart movie is worth the trip.
  29. Steel City
    A shaky but promising debut, Brian Jun's downbeat family drama is likely to make you feel a whole lot better about your own life.
  30. Fellini: I'm a Born Liar
    It's the many thoughtful, eloquent interviews with Fellini himself that serve as the heart of the film.
