  1. House of the Sleeping Beauties
    It would be easy to dismiss House of the Sleeping Beauties as a lewd male fantasy, but that would be ignoring the German film's deeper purpose as - in the words of the director, Vadim Glowna - a meditation on "transition, remembrance, mourning, guilt, loneliness, sex and death, eroticism and dying."
  2. Ready Player One
    My main beef is with Spielberg’s choice to leave out his own work, both as producer and director: “I didn’t corner the ’80s market,” he told Entertainment Weekly. But yeah, he kind of did.
  3. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
    A cheerfully trashy, dead-on spoof of the B-movie genre, boasts the kind of cheese-tastic effects, overcooked dialogue and rigid performances that would make Ed Wood proud.
  4. 9
    IF you ask me, Shane Acker's post-apocalyp tic animated film 9 is better than the live-ac tion flick "District 9." Beyond their similar titles, these sci-fi social commentaries are both expanded from shorts under the sponsorship of a world-class director.
  5. Surrogates
    Among cheesy sci-fi movies meant to make you think, I'll take Surrogates over "District 9." Both are highly derivative, but in the course of recombining the basic chromosomes of "Blade Runner," "The Matrix" and especially "I, Robot," Surrogates nudges the robo-thriller in an interesting direction.
  6. Chelsea on the Rocks
    Rambles a bit, but it's a real slice of New York history.
  7. It Comes at Night
    Director Trey Edward Shults made his debut last year with the indie drama “Krisha,” and this one’s a very different take on family dynamics — not at all your typical horror film.
  8. Short Cut to Nirvana: Kumbh Mela
    Reaches its climax on the main bathing day, with a throng of naked holy men leading the charge into the Ganges. You would be forgiven for thinking you're watching a hot July day at Coney Island.
  9. Derrida
    The result puts a human face on Derrida, and makes one of the great minds of our times interesting and accessible to people who normally couldn't care less.
  10. Faat Kiné
    A youthful, and often funny, piece of filmmaking. You might never expect that its director is 73 years old.
  11. The Tailor of Panama
    Overall, it's a hand-tailored job in a marketplace filled with off-the-rack movies.

  12. The Woman
    The Woman is disturbing, lurid and perverse, but that isn't necessarily bad: Horror buffs, especially fans of Ketchum, will be overcome with joy and excitement.
  13. Rock Star
    Easily one of the most enjoyable big-budget Hollywood movies to come along in a while, Rock Star is an unexpected pleasure.
  14. Heist
    A muscular, endlessly twisty homage to film noir capers like "The Asphalt Jungle."
  15. The Girl
    One of the most beautiful per formances I've seen this year is given by Blanca Engstrom in the Swedish coming-of-age charmer The Girl.
  16. Mad Detective
    Doesn't always make sense, and you cannot always tell what is real and what is imaginary, but viewers will be having too much zonked-out fun to care.
  17. Fireworks Wednesday (2006)
    Farhadi brings keen discernment to this unraveling marriage, and a third-act revelation packs a wallop.
  18. Examined Life
    Slovenian-born writer-teacher Slavoj Zizek, narrator of the movie "A Pervert's Guide to the Cinema," provides the most entertainment.
  19. In the Realms of the Unreal
    Yu presents a compelling, somewhat disturbing portrait of the artist, who in 2000 was the subject of a major exhibit that toured the world.
  20. The Assassination of Richard Nixon
    It features Sean Penn in a mesmerizing portrayal of the would-be hijacker.
  21. Dinosaur
    An expensive demonstration that all the spectacular effects in the world aren't enough to make a great film - but it's worth seeing for that stunning half-hour alone.
    • New York Post
  22. Theater Camp
    This comedy soars squarely on small moments and big jokes.
  23. Ice Age: The Meltdown
    The rare sequel that is better than the original.
  24. Taboo
    It's actually the surprisingly compelling plot and the often hilarious dialogue that keep you watching this tale of passion and murder in a Samurai militia unit - not the beautiful scenery or the elegant color palette.

  25. Rules Don't Apply
    This is Beatty’s first film in 15 years, a project he’s been working on for 40 years, and it’s immensely pleasing to see him in such fine form. Or, as his obsessive-compulsive subject would say, such fine form. Such fine form.
  26. Shake Hands with the Devil
    Compelling documentary.
  27. Easy Money: Hard to Kill
    Najafi stages action scenes with an intense, queasy beauty and elevates what is in its outlines a routine crime drama to near-operatic proportions.
  28. Massoud, the Afghan
    A unique, priceless portrait of the now legendary leader, and of his beautiful country when it was in the grip of a disastrous civil war.
  29. Evil
    Director Mikael Hafstrom - the gentleman responsible for last year's Jennifer Aniston bomb "Derailed" - keeps us guessing as he confidently builds suspense.
  30. Dragon Blade
    Daniel Lee’s elaborate Chinese historical action epic Dragon Blade certainly gets points for creative casting, as well as its gorgeous widescreen visuals.
