  1. March of the Penguins
    Michael Moore might want to look into this before more animal docs steal his thunder.
  2. Crazy, Stupid, Love
    What makes Crazy Stupid Love a cut above is actors who let pain seep into the laughs. Here's a comedy you really can take to heart.
  3. Ghost Town
    It sounds sappy, and sometimes it is, but director Koepp and co-writer John Kamps stay alert to the humor and pathos of Bertram's isolation.
  4. Creative Control
    Creative Control goes its own playful, provocative way. For a film about technology's growing dehumanization, this stylized beauty is a frisky, formidable temptation.
  5. We Don't Live Here Anymore
    The film, sometimes talky and overemphatic, is also literate, erotic, brutally funny and touched by brilliance in its quartet of live-wire performances.
  6. The Russia House
    At its best, The Russia House offers a rare and enthralling spectacle: the resurrection of buried hopes.
  7. The Bank Job
    Dull title for a juicy, fact-based caper movie that's full of surprises I have no intention of spoiling.
  8. The Station Agent
    The three actors could not be better. Huge feelings are packed into this small, fragile movie. It's something special.
  9. City of Gold
    In essence, City of Gold is a celebration of a critic who helped define a city by what it eats. And at a bargain price. So take notes, and dig in.
  10. Always at The Carlyle
    Dazzling, sometimes hilarious and surprisingly emotional documentary.
  11. Rise of the Planet of the Apes
    The movie rises and, at times, even soars. This is all - and I do mean all - thanks to what human actors in league with computer technology can now achieve to bring the apes to life. No more guys squeezed into monkey suits and talking in posh accents. Performance-capture makes all the difference.
  12. Megan Leavey
    Mara is funny, fierce and altogether wonderful, even up against an irresistible costar.
  13. The Matador
    Writer-director Richard Shepard gives Brosnan his meatiest role ever, and he digs in with relish.
  14. Spider-Man 3
    There are delicious bits aplenty in Spider-Man 3 for those who care to notice.
  15. Backbeat
    Backbeat catches the Beatles in the act of discovering themselves. It’s a thrilling spectacle that rocks the house and a lot of lazy misconceptions about how legends are made.
  16. Run Ronnie Run
    Though the material isn't up to Mr. Show's high standards, some great laughs abound.
  17. World War Z
    World War Z is still as smart, shifty and scary as a starving zombie ready to chow down on you, baby, you.
  18. Beatriz at Dinner
    The funny, touching and vital Beatriz at Dinner probably tackles way more than it can handle, but so what? Godspeed. You won't know what hit you.
  19. Monsters University
    It's all infectious fun, despite the lack of originality. In the art of tickling funny bones, Crystal and Goodman earn straight A's.
  20. Unfinished Song
    Stamp's award-caliber performance as a closed-off man on the brink of turning into stone is a miracle of subtlety and feeling. This is acting of the highest order. Redgrave partners him superbly, bringing warmth and nurturing humor to a role she refuses to play for easy tears.
  21. Straw Dogs
    Peckinpah rubbed our noses in the bloodlust. Lurie invites objectivity. He gets strong, complex performances from actors who won't be painted into corners.
  22. Waitress
    This sweetheart of a comedy boasts a hilarious and heartfelt performance by Keri Russell.
  23. T2 Trainspotting
    This Trainspotting sequel may feel like that for many who raised a fist in unison with the first film's f--k-the-world defiance. There's a hard-won wisdom at work here, as well as an aching sense of loss. Any way you look at it, T2 takes a piece out of you.
  24. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
    Woody Allen's sexiest movie ever.
  25. The Fate of the Furious
    The Fate of the Furious doesn't have a thought in its head to match the best of Bond and Bourne. What it is, in every sense of the term, is insanely entertaining.
  26. Children of the Revolution
    Duncan zips through five decades and dozens of characters without reducing the participants to cliches or slogans. A remarkable cast helps him to keep focused on the core of the piece.
  27. Kalifornia
    This kinky game of murder and eroticism is preposterous but never boring.
  28. The Other Guys
    Ferrell is effortlessly uproarious. And watching hardass Wahlberg, in his first starring shot at farce, shake his sillies out is not to be missed.
  29. Keanu
    Even when the laughs don't always snap, Key and Peele are ready with another one or a dozen that do. These dudes really are the cat's meow.
  30. Middle Men
    Ribisi and Macht are sleaze incarnate. James Caan, as a conniving lawyer, and Rade Sherbedgia, as a Russian crime boss, are even more cootified. Best of all is Wilson, digging into his juiciest role in years and putting a human face on this mesmerizing morality tale, a journey into the toxic heart of the American dream.
