  1. Wedding Crashers
    Sometimes a movie comedy just clicks. Welcome to one of those times.
  2. Happy Endings
    The film rambles, but rambling with the mischievous Roos is still a tricky and winning proposition.
  3. Murderball
    It's original, outrageous and murderous fun.
  4. Dark Water
    In a movie with more subtext than "Rosemary's Baby," nearly everyone, including Tim Roth as Dahlia's lawyer, harbors secrets. Salles unleashes a torrent of suspense for one purpose: to plumb the violence of the mind.
  5. War of the Worlds
    It's those dark visions of destruction that stick, even when Spielberg pushes the script to an unlikely happy ending. Great foreplay, failed orgasm.
  6. Rize
    There's no way to take your eyes off it.
  7. March of the Penguins
    Michael Moore might want to look into this before more animal docs steal his thunder.
  8. Me and You and Everyone We Know
    Performance artist Miranda July hits a grand slam as the writer, director and star of her first film. It's a moonbeam romance laced with startling wit and gravity.
  9. Batman Begins
    The buildup is steadily engrossing. That's because Nolan keeps the emphasis on character, not gadgets. Gotham looks lived in, not art-directed.
  10. Mr. & Mrs. Smith
    Only Vince Vaughn registers hilariously as John's boss.
  11. Howl's Moving Castle
    There's a word for the kind of comic, dramatic, romantic, transporting visions Miyazaki achieves in Howl's: bliss.
  12. Cinderella Man
    It's the classic American tale of the family man triumphant, and Howard makes sure that it hits you right in the heart.
  13. Lords of Dogtown
    Hardwicke whips up a frenzy of crazy-cool board action, with Alva choreographing the stunts. Even when the slippery-slope-of-success cliches halt the film's momentum, the ready-to-rock actors rev it up again.
  14. Rock School
    You cheered Jack Black in "School of Rock," now give it up for Paul Green in the real thing.
  15. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
    Working from a deft script by Delia Ephron, director Ken Kwapis labors hard so that guys won't cringe (too much) as four teen girls, of different body types, pass along the same pair of lucky jeans during a summer of love and loss.
  16. The Longest Yard
    What links the two films in fun and ferocity is the big game, a ripsnorter that is irresistibly entertaining.
  17. Madagascar
    Less like "Shrek," meaning hilarious and heartfelt, and more like "Shark Tale," meaning manic and exhausting, Madagascar will keep kids distracted without transporting them to wonderland.
  18. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
    Until the last half-hour, when Lucas actually does establish a emotional connection between the landmark he created in 1977 and the prequel investment portfolio he laid out in 1999, the movie is one spectacularly designed letdown after another.
  19. Monster-in-Law
    It's a hoot to watch Fonda cut loose and mix it up with J. Lo, even when the laughs turn mean-spirited.
  20. Unleashed
    Li is action poetry in motion. Damn them for spoiling our popcorn fun with salty tear-jerking.
  21. Mad Hot Ballroom
    Listening to the kids talk is a treat in itself, but watching them strut their stuff in the final competition is enough to make you stand up and cheer.
  22. Tell Them Who You Are
    Funny, touching, vital.
  23. Crash
    The acting is dynamite, notably by Dillon and Newton in their shocking second encounter. Despite its preachy moments, the film is a knockout.
  24. House of Wax
    Purists, be warned: This scare-flick quickie has as much relation to the 1953 Vincent Price classic with the same title as Paris Hilton does to acting.
  25. Kingdom of Heaven
    Odd as it is to say, Kingdom of Heaven loses its momentum the more Balian gets religion.
  26. Jiminy Glick in Lalawood
    Director Vadim Jean is lucky that his low-octane comedy is long on Short.
  27. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
    Go with the whimsical flow that includes a hilariously morose robot named Marvin, voiced by the great Alan Rickman with the weight of the galaxy resonating in every bored, cynical syllable. Adams would be pleased.
  28. The Interpreter
    The Interpreter bristles with the smart, steadily engrossing tension that marked such 1970s goodies as "All the President's Men," "The Parallax View" and Pollack's own "Three Days of the Condor."
  29. A Lot Like Love
    As the film stopped counting back in years and switched to months, I panicked that it would slog on to weeks, hours and seconds before reaching its inevitable end. I was wrong. About A Lot Like Love leaving you wanting a lot less, I am right.
  30. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
    It's scarier than "The Amityville Horror," as scandalous as "Fahrenheit 9/11" and loaded with more conspiracies than "The Interpreter."
