  1. The Tailor of Panama
    The script gets so silly, the Monty Python troupe would reject it.
  2. Moulin Rouge!
    An audacious, snappy visual and emotional feast of dishes both familiar and fresh. It's the first really good movie of 2001.
  3. Sidewalk Stories
    Sidewalk Stories manages to expose the modern-day realities of New York while at the same time recapturing the sentimentality and charm of the classic films of the silent era. [03 Nov 1989, p.47]

  4. Miami Vice
    Miami Vice is the last of the predicted summer blockbusters, and it delivers a reasonable amount of popcorn excitement. But if nostalgia for the TV show is the source of your interest, expect some disappointment.
  5. Paris, je t'aime
    Bittersweet, funny, sad and invariably romantic.
  6. La Vie en Rose
    The song for which Piaf is best-known - "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" ("No Regrets") - leads to a killer finale with Cotillard perfectly lip-synching Piaf's recording of it. Trust me; you'll want to own it.
  7. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
    The cast, including Orlando Bloom and Evangeline Lilly as warrior elves, is also excellent (though we don’t get even a glimpse of Andy Serkis’ Gollum). And individually, each escapade does hold its own thrills.
  8. Unmade Beds
    Overly familiar but endearing nonetheless, this coming-of-age indie from Alexis Dos Santos is most likely to appeal to those who recognize themselves in the story's lost heroes.
  9. Let the Bullets Fly
    A good-natured and highly enjoyable goof.
  10. Mosquita y Mari
    This lovely, low-key debut from Aurora Guerrero doesn't aim to make any grand statements. It doesn't need to. The sweetness and sincerity Guerrero and her leads infuse into their intimate coming-of-age story is more than enough.
  11. Ich hiess Sabina Spielrein
    As complex as its subject's life and - like her - both flawed and fascinating.
  12. The Amazing Spider-Man
    Director Marc Webb's action-adventure is grounded in a recognizable reality, but is also full of thrills. It's dark and mysterious, but doesn't skimp on fun.
  13. Premium Rush
    The actors click into high gear, and Premium Rush delivers.
  14. Monumental: David Brower's Fight for Wild America
    Clearly intended as a reminder that one person can move - or, at least, save - mountains.
  15. Marshall
    Marshall makes a good case for its hero as one of the brightest, boldest lawyers to ever walk into a courtroom. So why is it sometimes such a trial?
  16. Splice
    Splice is an unholy mess because it fuses together the worst parts of every bad medical-monster thriller, and then boldly cranks up the ridiculous.
  17. Bridget Jones's Diary
    A delightful and endearing romantic comedy with the shape and resonance of a Jane Austen novel.
  18. Barbershop
    Best of all, and worth the price of admission, is Cedric the Entertainer.
  19. Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams
    It's a wonderfully silly family movie that holds its audience in high regard.
  20. Heist
    While not nearly as elaborate as either film, Heist plays like a combination of "The Sting" and "Mission: Impossible."
  21. Elf
    A non-sappy and genuinely adorable confection. It wiped away the Scrooge in me for 90 enchanting minutes.
  22. The Way Back
    The man-versus-the-natural world story is in Weir's wheelhouse, and Harris and Farrell get into a scene-stealing duel. Worth the trek.
  23. A League of Ordinary Gentlemen
    If ever a movie could convince the masses to don communal shoes, this is the one.
  24. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
    Even while trying to access my inner giggly, dreamy adolescent, I found the movie as irritating as a chigger under the skin. The cast is pretty and inoffensive, with America Ferrera, using charisma and fierce emotions to stand out from the pack.
  25. The One I Love
    To sing the praises of the movie but not give away the revelations is difficult. Let’s just say this: The less you know about what happens in this funny, tasty twisteroo, the better.
  26. Blood Father
    The movie is pretty good.
  27. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
    Director David Yates, who helmed the last four "Harry Potter" films, is in his element with this mix of wand-waving and rollicking adventure. He keeps the overstuffed story zipping along for the most part. And he's thrown in all the eye-popping wonders that $180 million can buy.
  28. Nénette
    Our time spent with Nenette feel as stifling and airless as hers.
  29. The PianoTuner of EarthQuakes
    With the film's hypnotic emphasis on artistry and architecture, most viewers will probably get their satisfaction from the striking visual elements, particularly the stop-motion animation.
  30. Bandslam
    Best of all is newcomer Connell, the kind of charismatic kid who would have been cast in "Freaks and Geeks" ten years ago.
