  1. Regular Lovers
    Long, talky and shot in black and white. In other words, it requires a commitment in time and brain power - a commitment worth making.
  2. Alone with Her
    Not always totally credible and it cheats a bit on the fixed point of view. But a terrific and brave performance by Talancon makes this far superior to the generic thrillers churned out by the big studios.
  3. Alpha Dog
    Justin Timberlake shows that he can do more as an actor than just take his shirt off - though he does that a lot as well - in the irresponsible, uncommercial but surprisingly watchable Alpha Dog.
  4. Primeval
    One of the few monster-crocodile movies that simultaneously tries to rip off "Jaws" and "Meet the Press."
  5. Stomp the Yard
    As DJ, Columbus Short eases his way through the movie without trying to impress us too much, which is welcome, but he's also a little bland around the edges.
  6. Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story
    Abduction uses interviews, vintage photos and re-creations to tell the sad story of love and hope in riveting, suspenseful style. So powerful is this film, it brought tears to my eyes.
  7. God Grew Tired of Us
    The doggedness and good will of these men are irresistible as they pick up on the American dream, finding work and even college educations while trying to locate their missing relatives back home.
  8. Tears of the Black Tiger
    What do you get when you mix a Douglas Sirk melodrama with a Sergio Leone Western? Tears of the Black Tiger, a high-camp Western from, of all places, Thailand.
  9. Guru
    Sort of a Bollywood "Citizen Kane," a decades-spanning drama with a compelling Abhishek Bachchan as a ruthless Indian business tycoon who refuses to take no for an answer.
  10. Comedy of Power
    At age 76, Chabrol seems to be just going through the motions, but anyone who has helmed 70 films ("Les Bonnes Femmes" and "La Ceremonie," for example) is entitled to an off day. Look for him to dazzle us next time out.
  11. Happily N'Ever After
    An ugly, unfunny, headache-inducing fairy-tale spoof.
  12. Freedom Writers
    Swank's character, Erin Gruwell, is a real educator who, in the years following the Rodney King riots, coaxed her students into writing about their bullet-riddled lives.
  13. Code Name: The Cleaner
    Isn't as bad as you'd think, but this comic mash-up of "The Bourne Identity" and "Fat Albert" doesn't have much heft.
  14. Thr3e
    Suspenselessly directed by Robby Henson, Thr3e commits the eighth deadly sin - boredom.
  15. I Love You
    The director, 30-year-old Dalibor Matanic, allows himself a few weepy moments, but mostly the script stays on target, accompanied by strong acting and lensing.
  16. Miss Potter
    Zellweger dusts off her Bridget Jones accent - and a constellation of annoying vocal and facial tics - for Miss Potter, an unrelentingly mediocre, TV-movieish biopic of beloved children's author Beatrix Potter.
  17. Pan's Labyrinth
    Nothing this year comes close to being as utterly unforgettable as Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, an extremely dark and disturbing fairy tale for audiences say, ages 12 and up.
  18. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
    Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, crosses over from thriller into magic realism for a lavishly staged climax that's a bit much.
  19. The Dead Girl
    What happens when several characters' lives intertwine with the maggot-infested corpse of a prostitute in The Dead Girl? A whole lot of crying.
  20. Arthur and the Invisibles
    This kids' cartoon from France is such a surreally demented attempt to connect with children that it's the equivalent of foie gras breakfast cereal or a bleu cheese milkshake.
  21. Factory Girl
    Miller is wincingly good at playing up the innocence.
  22. The Tiger and the Snow
    The longer the movie goes on, the more annoying Benigni's infantile behavior becomes.
  23. The Flying Scotsman
    It's an underdog story with teeth.
  24. Unconscious
    An overdone sex comedy.
  25. Notes on a Scandal
    Arguably the year's most entertaining art-house film.
  26. Children of Men
    Director Alfonso Cuarón has a vision so mesmerizingly terrible that it alone - at least, for those who enjoy a gorgeous nightmare - is reason enough to see the film.
  27. The Good Shepherd
    A glacially paced, emotionally frosty epic (with a top-drawer cast).
  28. Night at the Museum
    Strands several generations of performers in a highly derivative script and hackneyed direction.
  29. We Are Marshall
    Has the kind of soulful subject matter that will strike some as profoundly emotional, but it gets a flag for roughing the tear ducts. This isn't football - it's cornball.
  30. Venus
    A sublime meditation that is one of this year's wisest, warmest and funniest films.
