  1. Just Like Heaven
    The problem comes when the movie turns into a tedious, faith-based diatribe against medical science.
  2. Lord of War
    Niccol doesn't always get the mix right, and the tone here is inconsistent. But the movie remains compelling, largely because of Cage's dry, deadpan delivery.
  3. Everything Is Illuminated
    It's as if two-thirds of the book have been reduced to one-word chapter headings.
  4. Corpse Bride
    The story itself is a smooth little gem.
  5. 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.
  6. Thumbsucker
    It's Pucci - who's already won a couple of acting prizes on the festival circuit, including Sundance - who steals the film with a wonderful performance blending the awkward innocence, vulnerability and pain of being a teen.
  7. The Thing About My Folks
    It's the same old, same old - except with some really snappy one-liners.
  8. One Bright Shining Moment
    Instructive but aggressively biased liberal history lesson.
  9. Human Error
    The movie's a botch, but at least it'll make you feel good about your own daily drudgery.
  10. Finding Eleazar
    Because his self-conscious musings are given so much space, it helps to arrive at the movie already awed by Shicoff's talents so you can overlook his (and this dramatically unfocused film's) flaws.
  11. G
    It's an ugly affair overall, but at least you can say you've never seen such beautiful shirts.
  12. Venom
    A witless, derivative slasher flick.
  13. Separate Lies
    A neat, twisty little domestic drama about smart people, foolish choices.
  14. I am Cuba, the Siberian Mammoth
    A fascinating capsule of an era long past.
  15. 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.
  16. Chain
    Thought-provoking, but not quite as profound as it pretends to be.
  17. Trilogy: The Weeping Meadow
    Certainly has the look and feel of a masterpiece, but it's missing the emotional core that most moviegoers need.
  18. The Man
    The screenplay has no idea how to modulate the banter between the movie's talented stars so that it approximates affectionate and playful sparring.
  19. An Unfinished Life
    It's no great thing, but in their (Weinstein brothers') heyday as Oscar campaigners, they could have made Redford a contender.
  20. The Exorcism of Emily Rose
    The dullest exorcist movie ever made.
  21. Cote d'Azur
    You know this movie is French (apart from the subtitles), because everyone looks great, gets naked and later breaks into a peppy musical number about the joys of lobster and shellfish.
  22. Keane
    Keane is a movie you might see on a dare, and though I think it is brilliantly conceived, I wouldn't dare to dare you.
  23. Steal Me
    The teen actors grin twitchily as if tickled by sudden growth spurts, but apparently nothing can hurt their chances with the females in this libidinous zip code.
  24. Campfire
    A good movie that could have been better, Joseph Cedar's sensitive Israeli drama falters when he trades sociological observations for political ones.
  25. Green Street Hooligans
    Wood is compelling, but Charlie Hunnam ("Nicholas Nickleby") is the one to watch.
  26. Kamikaze Girls
    A charmingly loony tale of two young loners who form an unlikely bond, this droll Japanese import puts the predictable banality of most Hollywood teen flicks to shame.
  27. Music from the Inside Out
    With a soundtrack that ranges from classical to jazz to bluegrass, this is not only an obvious choice for ­music lovers, but required viewing for anyone interested in the mysteries of creative inspiration.
  28. Make It Funky!
    A suddenly vital biography, Make It Funky, pays apt homage to the unique gifts New ­Orleans has given its country over the last century. Watching it ought to inspire anyone to return the favor.
  29. Walking on the Sky
    Earnest but practically unwatchable movie. I haven't spent an hour and a half with worse company since high school detention.
  30. Touch the Sound: A Sound Journey with Evelyn Glennie
    The result is a feast for the senses.
