  1. Sugar
    Algenis Perez Soto was a baseball player in real life, which helps to explain his sensitive, understated performance as Sugar. But he's let down by a manipulative script recycled from dozens of sports and immigrant movies. At least it dispenses with a Hollywood ending.
  2. The Song of Sparrows
    As usual with Majidi, the cinematography is super (best scene shows Karim, disguised as an ostrich, in pursuit of an escaped bird) and the acting is realistic and low-key.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Lifelines
    Lifelines is a tiny movie, made for $385,000, but it strikes enough strange chords to make it resonate.
  4. Tulpan
    The acting and story are solid, but the real star of Tulpan is the gorgeous, never-ending landscape -- flat and arid, and home to camels, goats and lambs, and hearty people who live in tentlike yurts.
  5. Monsters vs Aliens
    Dreamworks Animation's clunky and wildly unimaginative Monsters vs. Aliens really doesn't have a clue what to do with the [3-D] technique.
  6. American Swing
    Doesn't have a particularly well-defined point of view, but it is a succinct, entertaining and valuable record of a time that in some ways now seems as remote as the Roaring '20s.
  7. Goodbye Solo
    The role of William is a perfect fit for Red West, a well-weathered member of Elvis Presley's Memphis Mafia who has served as a bodyguard as well as a stuntman and bit-part actor.
  8. The Haunting in Connecticut
    Not very haunty.
  9. Shall We Kiss?
    Features crisp dialogue and understated humor, played out by an attractive young cast. Audiences bred on Hollywood romances might find the film too chatty and contemplative. To them I say: Get over it, kids!
  10. I Love You, Man
    Watching this movie is like listening to Michael Jackson tell you what real men are like.
  11. Duplicity
    Whip-smart, sexy and delightfully twisty romantic thriller.
  12. Knowing
    UH-UH. Non. Nein. Negative. Sept. 11 is not to be used as the setup for a cheesy disaster prophecy flick.
  13. The Great Buck Howard
    A small-scale charmer that provides a tailor-made role for Malkovich, who is always fun to watch.
  14. Sin Nombre
    Forget those weepie liberal clichés. This starless and vividly authentic romantic thriller set in Central America really rocks, and is one of the most exciting directorial debuts in years.
  15. Valentino: The Last Emperor
    Filled with affecting moments.
  16. The Last House on the Left
    A warning: One scene in the middle is almost outrageously cruel and graphic. If you're the type of person who has to be reminded, "It's only a movie," stay away. This is the most depraved and dreadful piece of screen horror since last year's "Funny Games."
  17. Race to Witch Mountain
    Bears all the signs of having been composed by an inferior race of alien screenwriters from the Hackulon System.
  18. Sunshine Cleaning
    This bittersweet comedy is a fine showcase for a pair of distinctive and appealing talents.
  19. Brothers at War
    This documentary, which begins at a low key, gradually becomes intense and psychologically complicated.
  20. The Cake Eaters
    With so much junk cluttering movie houses, it is a shame that it took two years for this sweet, intelligent drama to get a release before heading for DVD.
  21. Miss March
    For a horny-road-trip flick that's actually funny, check out last year's "Sex Drive," which just came out on video.
  22. Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America
    One of the oddest movies I've seen in a while - and that's a good thing.
  23. Tokyo Sonata
    Although envisioned before the world economy went to hell, Tokyo Sonata is relevant to the mess we're in now.
  24. Watchmen
    Director Zack Snyder's cerebral, scintillating follow-up to "300" seems, to even a weary filmgoer's eye, as fresh and magnificent in sound and vision as "2001" must have seemed in 1968, yet in its eagerness to argue with itself, it resembles "A Clockwork Orange."
  25. Phoebe in Wonderland
    Phoebe in Wonderland happens to be at least partly a Lifetime movie, but this special little film is no disease-of-the-week tear-jerker.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Everlasting Moments
    Heiskanen is a revelation as the put-upon wife, and the cinematography (some by Troell) effortlessly transports us back 100 years.
  27. Fados
    There are no talking heads, but lots of singing heads and sexy dancing bodies, many of them belonging to stars in Spain. In total, there are more than a dozen performance pieces, all stylishly lensed.
    • 23 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Reunion
    A stultifying vanity piece.
  29. Sherman's Way
    Coming-of-age road trips have rarely been more tedious or predictable.
  30. Tokyo!
    Carax, who hadn't made a movie since "Pola X" in 1999 comes off best.
