  1. If Beale Street Could Talk
    Jenkins is a master of cinematic portraiture, but he’s so captivated by the magic of a moment — even a single image, like cigarette smoke swirling around one of Fonny’s carved-wood sculptures — that he sometimes forgets he’s got an audience expecting a plot.
  2. What Doesn't Kill You
    This is a rare case of a movie that improves dramatically as it goes along.
  3. Jeff Who Lives at Home
    A bit too shaggy to totally live up to the potential of its fine cast. But there are moments of comedy gold - especially as Segel, who went full-frontal for "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" endures endless humiliations as the title character.
  4. The Unknown Known
    Morris is likely to disappoint liberals in The Unknown Known by failing to take down an apparently weak target.
  5. The Childhood of a Leader
    It’s an ambitious, often arresting film, but it lacks cohesion, and the seesawing plot and motivations seem more indecisive than mysterious.
  6. The Piano Teacher
    Thanks to a superb performance by Isabelle Huppert, it's compulsively, gruesomely watchable.
  7. House of Pleasures
    Despite copious full-frontal female nudity, House of Pleasures isn't mere sexploitation. Rather, it's a gorgeously filmed portrait of a bygone era, with painstaking attention to period detail. On the downside, the movie is overlong.
  8. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
    It’s adequately visionary, it’s routinely spectacular, it breathes fire and yet somehow feels room-temperature.
  9. Murder by Numbers
    In effect gives you two movies for the price of one. The better one doesn't star Sandra Bullock.
  10. The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
    Has just enough fairy dust to charm its target audience.
  11. Home Movie
    A documentary mosaic of kooky Americana.
  12. The Finest Hours
    The true story behind a Coast Guard rescue depicted in Disney’s The Finest Hours is amazing enough that it didn’t require corny romantic embellishments that threaten to capsize everything.
  13. Yes Nurse! No Nurse!
    A campy, brightly colored musical comedy.
  14. Collateral Damage
    Your heart will have you cheering Gordy on -- even as your brain complains that there are plot holes you could drive a truck bomb through.
  15. Princesa
    Features abundant sex and nudity, yet it manages to tell its story (based on a real character) with great sensitivity.
  16. The Cool School
    Filmed largely in black and white, The Cool School includes interviews with one of the gallery's founders, Ed Kienholz, as well as with Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell and architect Frank Gehry.
  17. Demonlover
    I've seen Demonlover twice and still find the plot a challenge. I'd try again if I thought it would help.
  18. Any Given Sunday
    A testosterone- and cliché-fueled epic that will have some hoping for sudden death as it stumbles toward the three-hour mark.

  19. Malèna
    Too often seems like a slightly silly film.

  20. Learning to Drive
    The movie putters along as softly as Wendy drives. Despite its lack of narrative horsepower, though, its character sketches are pleasing. And amusing.
  21. For a Good Time, Call...
    Travis, making his feature debut, gets very likable performances out of his female stars. And it's nice to see sex given its due as a wide, wild buffet rather than the standard missionary, bra-on fare we're usually served in a rom-com. Mmm-hmmm!
  22. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
    Screenwriter Steve Kloves still seems overly dedicated to cramming in every detail of J.K. Rowling's novel - while tacking on a schmaltzy Hollywood ending.
  23. I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
    Slight but charming.
  24. How About You ...
    In the course of How About You, much champagne is consumed, pot is smoked, and a good time is had by all, the audience included. Redgrave even sings the title song.
  25. Angels & Demons
    It's got enough going on to sustain five blockbuster thrillers. That is its blessing and its curse.
  26. Sleeping Dogs Lie
    It's not exactly going to be on PETA's 10-best list.
  27. The Crew
    Sometimes hilarious but mostly sitcom-esque geezer comedy.

  28. Van Helsing
    There is fun to be had at Van Helsing, but it requires considerable suspension of disbelief at the apparently deliberately ridiculous plot necessary to bring the three monsters together.
  29. Blitz
    McQueen’s script at times reeks of obviousness, even as it nurtures understated and heartfelt performances from Ronan and Heffernan. We always know where the film is going, and it dutifully goes there. Visually, though, the work’s a stunner.
  30. Pay It Forward
    Works unexpectedly well for its first three quarters.
