  1. Idlewild
    This oddball mix of "The Cotton Club" and "Six Feet Under" is a big, beautiful mess. But it offers the not-uninstructive spectacle of talented people stumbling over large and unwieldy ambitions.
  2. Snakes on a Plane
    It's not so bad that it's good. It's so bland that it's boring. Not even worth a hissss.
  3. The Illusionist
    Edward Norton is at his best here, chalking up another boundary-stretching performance this year in the wake of the unfairly overlooked "Down in the Valley."
  4. World Trade Center
    Undeniably affecting, but you leave it wanting more.
  5. The Descent
    Prepare to be scared senseless, and then, when you think you have it figured, your certainty will be shaken by scenes built to scare you even more.
  6. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
    The laughs come and go, but Ferrell makes NASCAR his bitch funny. Funnier. And more fun. And then the fun skids to a stop. You know how it goes: Plot gets in the way.
  7. Miami Vice
    If you're looking for a crime story that sizzles with action, sex and the visceral jolt of life on the edge, Miami Vice is the one.
  8. Scoop
    No more than a beguiling trifle. But in the dog days of summer, it's a perk to wallow in inspired silliness.
  9. John Tucker Must Die
    Awful.
  10. Little Miss Sunshine
    It's "National Lampoon's Family Vacation" with soul.
  11. Clerks II
    Best of all, Jason Mewes is out of rehab to play Jay and spar with Smith as Silent Bob, his dope-dealing partner.
  12. Lady in the Water
    You leave Lady thinking there are still voices in Shyamalan's head well worth a listen.
  13. Monster House
    The voice work is exceptional, with a special nod to Maggie Gyllenhaal as a toxic-tongued baby sitter and Jason Lee as her raunchy-to-the-point-of-depraved boyfriend. Kenan is a talent to watch, even in a flick that doesn't know when to quit.
  14. My Super Ex-Girlfriend
    If the script for this comic spin on Fatal Attraction were only a tenth as hot as Uma Thurman, director Ivan Reitman might have had something here.
  15. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
    Lively is an odd word for something called Dead Man's Chest, but lively it is. You won't find hotter action, wilder thrills or loopier laughs this summer.
  16. A Scanner Darkly
    This gifted writer-director isn't out to dull the masses with cinematic opium. Embedded in the visionary headtrip of A Scanner Darkly is a hotly political call to arms.
  17. The Devil Wears Prada
    Sinfully funny.
  18. Superman Returns
    Superman returns with a bang. Singer tarnishes his hero's halo with just enough sexual longing and self-doubt to make him riveting and relatable. That "S" on his suit has a whole new meaning: He's a Soul man.
  19. Click
    Can no one save the talented Sandler from himself? I hate this movie. Click. I hate this movie. Click. I hate this movie. Click.
  20. Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man
    In this muddled but marvelous blend of documentary and concert film, director Lian Lunson takes you down to a place where it's possible to look closely at the life and art of cult troubadour Leonard Cohen.
  21. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
    The F&F franchise ran out of gas half way into the 2001 original.
  22. The Lake House
    I can't believe that even the most rabid chick-flick masochists wouldn't gag on it.
  23. Nacho Libre
    This Nacho leaves your palate longing for more spice and less rancid cheese.
  24. Land of the Blind
    Political satire is so rare that it's a shame to watch the reliable Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland lend their talents to one that is blind to its own incompetence.
  25. Wordplay
    There's more palm-sweating suspense in one minute of this baby than in all of "The Omen."
  26. Cars
    What Cars teaches is how to blend brash comedy with technical astonishments so that each enhances the other. I can't imagine who wouldn't want to test-drive this one. Like the promos say, "It's got that new-movie smell."
  27. A Prairie Home Companion
    Take a swig of this moonshine. There's magic in it.
  28. The Heart of the Game
    There's no denying the exuberant energy and emotional force of this movie. It gets to you.
  29. The Omen
    Not since Gus Van Sant inexplicably directed a shot-by-shot remake of Hitchcock's "Psycho" has a thriller been copied with so little point or impact.
  30. The Break-Up
    Vaughn and Favreau are so money, just like they were in "Swingers."
