  1. Inside Deep Throat
    The film goes beyond historical anecdotes. Besides fresh and funny insights from the likes of Norman Mailer and John Waters, it shows how little censorship politics have changed from Nixon to Bush.
  2. The Amateurs
    You'll notice that the actors are way overqualified for this nonsense. But the kick they get out of one another is what pulls you in. Traeger's script does more than strain credulity, it administers multiple fractures.
  3. Antwone Fisher
    The uniformly fine performances are a tribute to Washington, who plays the shrink with his customary command.
  4. Body of Lies
    The result is commendably non-West-centric, but no less sentimentally conceived.
  5. Napoleon Dynamite
    Hess and his terrific cast -- Heder is geek perfection -- make their own kind of deadpan hilarity. You'll laugh till it hurts. Sweet.
  6. Deepwater Horizon
    Berg does a tremendous job of throwing us into the action with the help of dizzying handheld camerawork from Enrique Chediak.
  7. Julieta
    Almodóvar's admiration for Munro is not misplaced. Despite rough patches, Julieta morphs into a haunting and hypnotic tribute to both their talents.
  8. Lone Survivor
    Like the best war movies, Lone Survivor laces action with moral questions that haunt and provoke.
  9. Rudo y Cursi
    Luna and García Bernal display the kind of chemistry that makes you overlook the clichés in the script by first-time director Carlos Cuarón. Sometimes good-natured fun is enough.
  10. Natural Selection
    Best known as Ed Helms' nagging fiancée in "The Hangover," Harris is just perfect without ever looking down on Linda's faith in God and herself. Her performance earns a special kind of glory.
  11. Johnny Suede
    There's no denying the kick of Pitt's memorably offbeat performance and writer-director Tom DiCillo's stylish debut.
  12. Detachment
    Adrien Brody deserves superlatives for his acting in the alternately mesmerizing and maddening Detachment.
  13. Down to the Bone
    If there were an ounce of taste left in Hollywood, the magnificent Vera Farmiga would be a front-runner for the Best Actress Oscar.
  14. Off the Map
    The funny and heartbreaking Off the Map, directed with a poet's eye and a keen ear for nuance by Campbell Scott, resonates with something rare in today's movies: simplicity.
  15. Happy End
    Happy End is a puzzle and it's our job to connect the pieces. If it doesn't drive you crazy first, you'll find yourself maddened and mesmerized to the bitter end.
  16. Macbeth
    If you haven't seen Marion Cotillard play Lady Macbeth, you really haven't seen the role inhabited with the glorious fire and ice it needs to haunt your dreams.
  17. In Praise of Love
    For all its bile and incoherence, In Praise of Love is filled with haunting images and insights. Godard may be a lion in winter, but the lion still roars.
  18. Tiny Furniture
    It's the work of a filmmaker with a stunning future.
  19. Grand Piano
    The ending is a TVish cop-out. But until then, watching Wood sweat emerges as a pulse-pounding experiment in terror.
  20. Keane
    Keane means to shakes us, and does.
  21. Triple 9
    Triple 9 is no "Reservoir Dogs," but it is a twisty, terrific ride.
  22. Something's Gotta Give
    In an era of dumb farce, Something's Gotta Give is something special.
  23. I'm Not Scared
    In the guise of a nerve-jangling thriller, director Gabriele Salvatores, an Oscar winner for "Mediterraneo," delivers a fierce, frightening and deeply moving study of childhood. It's a keeper.
  24. The Eye
    The Pangs deliver enough shivery scares to keep you up nights. Eyes wide shut.
  25. Unstoppable
    a bang-up ride that means to wring you out. Mission accomplished.
  26. The Last Station
    The film itself, energetically directed and written by Michael Hoffman, can't always rise to the level of its two dynamo stars.
  27. Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic
    Sarah Silverman is the most outrageously funny woman alive.
  28. Cabin Fever
    First-time director Eli Roth turns this cheapie into a greatest-hits of horror. It's a blast of good gory fun that just won't quit.
  29. The U.S. vs. John Lennon
    Lennon's spirit, like his music, shines through this movie like a beacon. Powerful stuff.
  30. Drag Me to Hell
    Horror-movie heaven.
