  1. LOL
    Joe Swanberg - who directed, edited, lensed, co-wrote and played one of the lovelorn characters - has done wonders with a nothing budget and a personable cast of nonprofessional actors. For viewers so disposed, there are several arty shots of nude women.
  2. Princesas
    Starts as a serious examination of the two women's lives, but it descends into a mushy melodrama complete with schmaltzy music and dewy cinematography.
  3. Snakes on a Plane
    The film failed to be frightening, suspenseful or dramatic but accidentally succeeded in being absolutely hilarious.
  4. Accepted
    A campus comedy that's as dull as bong water, Accepted is like the product of a community college filmmaking class, remedial division.
  5. The Illusionist
    Deserved an end-of-the-year prestige release, is a true work of art in a marketplace filled with velvet paintings. It's positively magical, the reason we loved movies in the first place.
  6. Material Girls
    There is plenty of blame to go around for this laughless mess.
  7. Factotum
    Each scene stumbles onto a detail of inspired absurdity or a crunchy bite of dialogue that encapsulates Chinaski's weird flavor of self-destruction.
  8. Trust the Man
    A better than adequate date movie.
  9. 10th & Wolf
    Solid cast notwithstanding, 10th and Wolf is a generic, direct-to-video-grade gangster movie.
  10. Pusher III: I'm the Angel of Death
    [Refn] mixes jittery hand-held camerawork, improvised dialogue and available light to create a nightmarish world of sex, drugs and horrific brutality that will turn off many viewers while delighting others.
  11. Pusher II: With Blood On My Hands
    [Refn] mixes jittery hand-held camerawork, improvised dialogue and available light to create a nightmarish world of sex, drugs and horrific brutality that will turn off many viewers while delighting others.
  12. Conversations with Other Women
    It's brilliant work.
  13. Pulse
    Pulse bears more than a slight resemblance to a 1994 American horror called "Ghost in the Machine." They didn't screen that stinker in advance for critics, either.
  14. Step Up
    The teen dance drama Step Up seems like it was not only inspired by a Janet Jackson video but entirely written during one.
  15. Zoom
    A kid comedy that's been zapped by extraterrestrial suckiness rays.
  16. Half Nelson
    Too bad there is only about half an hour's worth of story here. Mostly, we just watch the teacher get high, and his classroom talks about civil rights are nothing but filler.
  17. The Ordeal
    Director-co-writer Fabrice du Welz has taken a clichéd premise and infused it with a stylish perversity that should have horror fans squealing with delight.
  18. Hamilton
    Plot? Who needs a plot? Certainly not neophyte director Matt Porterfield, whose Hamilton gets along just fine without one.
  19. House of Sand
    Ricardo Della Rosa's sumptuous, wide-screen cinematography takes full advantage of the sandy vista, complementing beautiful acting by Montenegro and Torres.
  20. Poster Boy
    Tucker's message is sometimes on target, even if his film isn't.
  21. World Trade Center
    A physically impressive, well-acted, sometimes emotionally powerful - and mostly apolitical - re-creation of that awful day that has some conservative pundits praising Stone as some sort of born-again patriot.
  22. Lunacy
    Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and the Marquis de Sade (interesting combination, no?).
  23. The Trouble with Men and Women
    A British indie as tepid as yesterday morning's tea.
  24. The Descent
    Easily the summer's scariest movie.
  25. Barnyard
    If you want to punish your kids, send them to bed without dinner. If you want to disturb, frighten and depress them while making sure they fail biology, take them to the animated feature Barnyard.
  26. The Night Listener
    This Sundance dud is a turgid gay soap opera with a limp twist, showcasing Robin Williams at his maudlin worst.
  27. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
    For the first half-hour or so, this thing works like white lightning.
  28. The Bridesmaid
    The film flawlessly glides along as bodies start piling up. The finale brings to mind another Hitchcock film, "Psycho."
  29. My Country, My Country
    Even on that happy 2005 election day, which was so successful that it led to a December round of elections in which the Sunnis did participate, Poitras takes a break to show us a close-up of someone slitting the neck of a rooster.
  30. Quinceañera
    Quinceañera isn't a work of art, nor does it want to be. But it is a crowd-pleaser.
