  1. Daltry Calhoun
    Seriously flawed - and choppily edited in the worst Harvey Scissorhands style - but there are enough good moments to anticipate a second film from writer-director Katrina Holden Bronson, whose parents were Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland.
  2. Dear Wendy
    A satirical blast at America's gun culture. But it's so entertaining that even a die-hard NRA member might be impressed.
  3. Dirty Love
    The rest of the cast is uniformly awful, including Carmen Electra and Kathy Griffin as a wacky medium who asks, "What do I look like? A comedian?" Not from where I'm sitting.
  4. Dorian Blues
    Eschews the heavy sexual content (and most of the clichés) of so many gay films -- it also has a lot of heart.
  5. A History of Violence
    Solid entertainment value for the money, but those who think it's saying anything new or profound are kidding themselves.
  6. Into the Fire
    A painfully sincere indie drama that isn't content to evoke only the misery of 9/11 -- it has to reference TWA Flight 800 for extra grief.
  7. Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D
    Adults will be more than passably entertained by this short, patriotic feature, and kids will be entranced.
  8. Occupation: Dreamland
    Misleadingly billed as a Fallujah documentary, Occupation: Dreamland covers a six-week period when not much was happening there.
  9. Oliver Twist
    Dickens was a sentimentalist, but even his happy endings are more nuanced than Polanski's brutal anti-sentimentalism.
  10. Loudmouth Soup
    The director, Queens-born Adam Watstein, who also edited and co-produced, deserves credit for making a film with modest resources.
  11. Proof
    Proof will put a lot of viewers right back where they left off in 12th-grade calculus: asleep.
  12. Cry_Wolf
    Which is scarier: a maniac in an orange ski mask wielding a hunting knife - or Jon Bon Jovi as a journalism teacher? Cry_Wolf gives us both, and though Bon Jovi is livin' on a prayer if he thinks he's an actor, the movie is a find.
  13. Just Like Heaven
    Just Like Heaven isn't far short of a classic among romantic comedies with a teary chaser, sure to please fans of "Ghost" and "Heaven Can Wait."
  14. Lord of War
    Picture how insufferable "GoodFellas" would be if it climaxed with a federal agent making a speech about the victims claimed by organized crime.
  15. Everything Is Illuminated
    Liev Schreiber's film version of "Everything Is Illuminated" achieves the impossible — it's even more annoying than Jonathan Safran Foer's gratingly precocious novel.
  16. Corpse Bride
    An instant classic.
  17. Hard Goodbyes: My Father
    Hard Goodbyes could easily have been maudlin, but isn't. Credit an adult script and realistic acting, especially by Giorgos Karayannis as Elias.
  18. Thumbsucker
    The actors can't escape the confines of the warmed-over, coming-of-age-in-suburbia script by Mills, from a novel by Walter Kirn.
  19. The Thing About My Folks
    Director Raymond de Felitta, who directed a little-seen gem called "Two Family House" a few years ago, gives Falk plenty of room to do his thing. There's an underlying emotional truth even in scenes that seem terribly contrived.
  20. Stupid Boy
    Garcon Stupide features the best gay seduction scene ever filmed on a Ferris wheel. Unfortunately, you have to sit through the entire movie to get to it. Whether you want to will depend on your interest in explicit gay sex.
  21. G
    This poorly acted, directed and written (but slick-looking) vanity project was produced by Andrew Lauren (Ralph's son also ineptly plays G's major-domo) and shot at least four years ago.
  22. Venom
    All hopes for suspense and plot twists are snuffed out about as quickly as the film's black characters.
  23. Separate Lies
    A soufflé that begins promisingly but never quite rises.
  24. Piggie
    Proves that you don't need a big budget to make a dynamite film.
  25. The Future of Food
    Enlightening documentary.
  26. Trilogy: The Weeping Meadow
    In his fourth outing with the director, cinematographer Andreas Sinanos produces stunning scene after stunning scene, almost as if each frame were a small painting.
  27. The Man
    Yet another screwed-up mess that will give audiences another excuse to shun the multiplexes this weekend.
  28. An Unfinished Life
    Freeman is Freeman, all homespun dignity. Surely it's time for him to play a saucy interior decorator or a crazed dictator.
  29. The Exorcism of Emily Rose
    This windy courtroom drama is punctuated by cheesy flashbacks.
  30. Cote d'Azur
    It's hard to make a dull movie with copious nudity and all kinds of sex (straight, bi and gay), although French filmmakers Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau manage to do so in Cote d'Azur.
