  1. Brothers in Arms
    Clearly meant as an endorsement of the Democratic presidential nominee's character.
  2. Hey! Is Dee Dee Home?
    The result, while slight, is a poignant portrait of one of New York's all-star outlaws.
  3. What Alice Found
    Digital video is both the blessing and the curse of writer-director A. Dean Bell's well-conceived but underachieved What Alice Found.
  4. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
    It's left to the ideally cast McDormand to keep everything on track and, as expected, she weathers every tonal change with competence, confidence and a perfectly stiff upper lip.
  5. Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise
    Feels like a VH1 slice-of-life with all the toppings. Yet it benefits from the fact that even a slice of it's title subject is a full meal.
  6. A Love Song for Bobby Long
    The sole asset of "Bobby Long" is Johansson. Blossoming before our very eyes, she gives Pursy the combination of hope and determination that makes her journey worthwhile.
  7. Jim Brown: All American
    We never really learn what Lee thinks of this man, other than that he is worth every second of a 130-minute documentary.
  8. Where's Marlowe?
    Belongs to an intellectually stimulating subgenre that examines the thin line between documentary maker and subject.
  9. The Dream Catcher
    A deeply felt, if occasionally amateurish, journey through some very affecting terrain.
  10. Welcome to Collinwood
    It takes us about half the film to adjust to its quirkiness, and we leave the theater with both laughter cramps and the feeling that it should have been funnier a lot longer.
  11. Cool and Crazy
    Every time things start to get dull, you're brought up short by another moment of surprising beauty.
  12. Mojados: Through the Night
    Modest but memorable.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Michael Jordan to the Max
    We get zilch on what kind of human being he is.
  14. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Mostly a lazy string of setups and sight gags, of tongue-in-cheek confrontations between the two stars that barely amount to sketches.
  15. The Pinochet Case
    The film is at its most compelling when the witnesses are telling their stories, and at its least in covering Pinochet's circuitous legal route to Britain's House of Lords.
  16. Whispers: An Elephant's Tale
    If even one audience member leaves more concerned with the evils of poachers than the pleasures of Pokemon, Disney's more than done its job.
  17. Love Actually
    Structurally, Love Actually is less like "Four Weddings" than it is "Scary Movie 3." ­Curtis throws every gag he can think of at the screen and the ones that don't stick, he throws again and again.
  18. Red Satin
    Despite some contrived plotting, Amari and Abbass have so much empathy for Lilia's shy self-discovery, it's a pleasure to watch her gradually give in to her newfound joy.
  19. Man on the Train
    One of the small pleasures of the movie is likely to escape American audiences. The bank robber is played by Johnny Hallyday, a pop icon of great magnitude in France, and the old man is played by Jean Rochefort, an acting staple of that country's cinema. The mere juxtaposition of these two personalities forms a comic set of expectations.
  20. Psycho Beach Party
    Smart, fun and mildly subversive, but it rides the wave of its joke a little too long.
  21. Turistas
    As the latest in a never-ending chain of thrillers about young people lost and dying in a hostile land, John Stockwell's Turistas at least offers the visual benefits of exotic settings and a cast of barely clad hardbodies.
  22. Broken English
    Both neurotic and endearing, it's so carefully accessorized you may not even notice that, at heart, it's a standard-issue romantic comedy.
  23. Grace Is Gone
    Bednarczyk's natural instincts put most programmed Hollywood moppets to shame, and the quietly affecting O'Keefe shows genuine talent.
  24. The Operator
    In its unleashing of relentless, cosmic retribution, The Operator is not unlike the recent "Joy Ride."
  25. Rent
    As a conventional drama, Rent would be a pretty corny soap opera. As filmed theater, it's only slightly more con­vincing. The saving graces - and there are many - are Larson's original songs and the comfortable fit of its ensemble cast.
  26. Moonlight
    A wild dream that spins into a nightmare, Moonlight isn't quite as provocative as it aims to be. But it will stick in your mind, and may even disturb your sleep.
  27. Bubba Ho-tep
    Much of the film is sub-sophomoric, but Campbell and Davis give hilarious deadpan performances.
  28. The Princess and the Warrior
    Princess is far more contemplative than "Run Lola Run," far less energized, and the little tricks of fate that made his last film so unique seem like sophomoric affectations here.
  29. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
    Turns out to be less than the sum of its wonderfully silly and bizarre parts.
  30. Vitus
    A fairly average movie about a very unusual child, Vitus does have an earnest charm.
