  1. 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.
  2. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
    The F&F franchise ran out of gas half way into the 2001 original.
  3. The Lake House
    I can't believe that even the most rabid chick-flick masochists wouldn't gag on it.
  4. Nacho Libre
    This Nacho leaves your palate longing for more spice and less rancid cheese.
  5. 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.
  6. Wordplay
    There's more palm-sweating suspense in one minute of this baby than in all of "The Omen."
  7. 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."
  8. A Prairie Home Companion
    Take a swig of this moonshine. There's magic in it.
  9. The Heart of the Game
    There's no denying the exuberant energy and emotional force of this movie. It gets to you.
  10. 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.
  11. The Break-Up
    Vaughn and Favreau are so money, just like they were in "Swingers."
  12. X-Men: The Last Stand
    Last stand? My ass. Billed as the climax of a trilogy, the third and weakest chapter in the X-Men series is a blatant attempt to prove there is still life in the franchise.
  13. An Inconvenient Truth
    Gore keeps us riveted by being charming, literate and profoundly persuasive on a topic that's scarier than anything in a dozen Japanese horror flicks. Vote Gore on this one.
  14. The Da Vinci Code
    There's no code to decipher. Da Vinci is a dud -- a dreary, droning, dull-witted adaptation of Dan Brown's religioso detective story.
  15. Poseidon
    You'll end up entertained if you forgive the cliches and let Petersen grab you with the visuals.
  16. Mission: Impossible III
    Bury the nostalgia. Like the rap twist Kayne West puts into the film's classic theme, this movie is best when it stirs it up.
  17. Down in the Valley
    Down in the Valley is a wild thing that sticks with you long after it's over. You know, a real movie.
  18. United 93
    Far from being exploitive, the effect is inspiring: This is the best of us.
  19. Army of Shadows
    From the first sight of German soldiers goose-stepping past the Arc de Triomphe to a postscript that spells out the fate of characters whose moral confusion is all too real, Army of Shadows is a movie of its time -- and ours.
  20. Kinky Boots
    Don't worry. It just sounds like another bad Sharon Stone movie. Kinky Boots trips on its contrived plot, but this blend of trash and sass is a comfy fit.
  21. The Notorious Bettie Page
    Harron needed just the right actress to play Bettie. And she lucked out big time. Gretchen Mol (The Shape of Things) is hot stuff in every sense of the term. She delivers the first performance by an actress this year that deserves serious Oscar consideration.
  22. Lucky Number Slevin
    If "Pulp Fiction" impregnated "The Usual Suspects," the spawn would look a lot like Lucky Number Slevin. Great genes, but you keep wondering when the kid is going to grow up and find an identity of his own.
  23. Take the Lead
    Inspired by a true story (translation: a lot of it is made up), the movie shucks its corn straight from the cob. But it's no less engaging for that, thanks to the enthusiasm of the young cast and the fusion of classic dance with hip-hop moves courtesy of Rich and Tone Talauega.
  24. Friends with Money
    Smart, witty and alert to the buried resentments that poke through the shiny surface of affluence, Holofcener's film recognizes that money is the new sex.
  25. Basic Instinct 2
    The laughs to be had in this deliciously awful sequel are all unintentional. A bummer for film buffs, but a ball for fans of the misbegotten.
  26. Brick
    "Sensational" is the word for Joseph Gordon-Levitt (equally striking in Mysterious Skin), who stars as Brendan, the teen outsider who becomes a budding Bogart.
  27. Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That!
    Get ready to be shaken and stirred.
  28. The Devil and Daniel Johnston
    No wonder Kurt Cobain was a fan. But it's the way Feuerzeig walks with him on the line between creativity and madness that digs this haunting and hypnotic film into your memory.
  29. Inside Man
    The suspense crackles, the acting sizzles and the script, by promising first-timer Russell Gewirtz, keeps tossing surprises like grenades.
  30. Lonesome Jim
    Buscemi does not act in Lonesome Jim, but his sly humor and keen eye for nuance resonate in every frame. I can't recall having a better time at a movie about depression.
