  1. Occupation: Dreamland
    Straightforward and immensely powerful, the movie offers a blunt assessment of the war from soldiers currently fighting it, and their perspective is not pretty.

    The Broadway Melody
    Zowie! What a picture! Humor, drama, romance, action, thrill! And how!
  3. Mission: Impossible III
    The supporting cast, including Ving Rhames, Laurence Fishburne and gorgeous Maggie Q, is underused, but the movie delivers the goods.
  4. Shelter
    Actors Trevor Wright and Brad Rowe are good enough to turn a formulaic coming-out tale into a sweet romance.
  5. The Cult of the Suicide Bomber
    Given that fundamentalist faith and sober logic are irreconcilable enemies, though, Baer's analysis inevitably leads to a grim roadblock, at which he can do little more than tally the toll.
  6. La bûche
    Enjoy Christmas in Paris, if you don't have enough problems of your own, with this slice of family life from French director Daniele Thompson.
  7. Robot Stories
    The stories are sharply written and well composed. Some are high tech on a low-tech budget, but where they find their strength -- in the emotions of their characters -- money is no object.
  8. What's in a Name?
    What’s most surprising is that this talky dramedy was a massive smash at home in France, outearning blockbusters like “The Avengers.”
  9. Deadpool 2
    Right now, he's the perfect "Avengers" antidote.
  10. The Infiltrator
    The movie rises thanks to an ace in the hole: Bryan Cranston, whose stirring star turn hooks us completely.
  11. Pitch Perfect
    How you respond to Pitch Perfect will depend primarily on how you feel about its obvious inspirations: "Glee," "Bring It On" and the food-poisoning scene from "Bridesmaids."
  12. Hard Goodbyes: My Father
    Panayotopoulou does handle the material with sensitivity, but she relies too much on her young hero's unlikely precocity, which unwittingly diminishes the intensity of a child's very real grief.
  13. The Fairy
    The persistent whimsy gets a bit wearisome, but it's hard to dismiss any film so determined to make us happy.
  14. Félix And Meira
    Felix and Meira is tender and sad, and wonderfully shot in snowy Quebec, but ultimately fails to connect. It’s such a gentle whisper of a film, it’s hard to hear what it wants to say.
  15. No Impact Man: The Documentary
    The efforts of Beavan's clan are so extreme that they spark some interest, but their environmental commitment feels a bit too self-serving to have the impact that's clearly desired.
  16. Last Passenger
    First-time feature director Omid Nooshin deftly downplays his budgetary limitations. He creates a sense of tension on the confining set and draws as much as possible out of a strong cast, led by Scott.
  17. You're Next
    Combining the dysfunctional family reunion and the home invasion thriller, You’re Next tries, somewhat valiantly, to add new twists to the usual bloody horror-flick shenanigans. But aside from a few fresh chords, it’s same-old, same-old.
  18. When We Leave
    Kekilli sensitively portrays Umay's conflicted despair, and the relationship with her son is beautifully rendered.
  19. Hope Springs
    If you're not in that demographic, don't dismiss it. You'll miss out on a genuinely sweet, perfectly acted, remarkably brave little movie that should make audiences swoon for something they thought was gone - a smart dramedy for grown-ups.
  20. I Am Legend
    The Manhattan movie of the year, Francis Lawrence's I Am Legend, offers a stunning glimpse into how the city - as we know it today - might look in 2012 if it were abandoned in 2009.
  21. E-Dreams
    There were a lot of people who came to regret investing their time and money in Park's brash dream. You won't be one of them.
  22. Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
    A thoroughly entertaining animated comedy that's sweet enough for the youngest moviegoers, and smart enough for the most cynical chaperone.
  23. The Legend of Leigh Bowery
    Some consider Leigh Bowery a visionary performance artist. Others will see a selfindulgent narcissist. You may want to decide for yourself.
  24. Coffee and Cigarettes
    The lone gem of the anthology takes place in the loft of a trendy L.A. restaurant where a snooty Steve Coogan learns from starstruck Alfred Molina that the actors are cousins...This is the longest of the shorts, and has a payoff ending that nearly makes the whole thing worthwhile.
  25. Tying the Knot
    Besides the personal stories, de Sève deftly puts the issue in historical and political perspective through an overview of the evolution of marriage, plus a slew of talking heads representing both sides of the battle.
  26. The Future of Food
    Garcia's somber narration is a turnoff, but this plucky little diatribe gets you thinking about the larger implications facing future generations.
  27. The Wild Blue Yonder
    A meandering, amusing trifle, Werner Herzog's latest film is as cheekily flaky as his recent "Grizzly Man" was sharply down-to-earth.
  28. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
    It stands alone as the best "Star Wars" entry since 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back." Yes, it's that good.
  29. The Lady in Question Is Charles Busch
    Busch lovingly and meticulously channels such grand dames as Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck and Norma Shearer in a way that surpasses imitation, camp and drag show. He captures their essence, and therefore the essence of cinema itself.
  30. Buried
    Just when it seems he's left himself with no way out, he comes up with a finish guaranteed to leave you breathless.
