  1. The Dukes of Hazzard
    There is no wrong time to flush this turd. The only bright spot comes during the outtakes over the final credits.
  2. Broken Flowers
    Broken Flowers may be too low-key for laugh junkies, but Jarmusch fills his sharply observed comedy with wonderful mischief. The mix of humor and heartbreak brings out the best in Murray.
  3. The Chumscrubber
    An appallingly clumsy and stupid take on drugs, kidnapping and suicide in suburbia.
  4. Must Love Dogs
    It's a frisky romantic comedy with a great title and wonderfully appealing performances.
  5. The Aristocrats
    Killer-funny documentary.
  6. The Devil's Rejects
    Indefensible on a moral level, Rob Zombie's perversely watchable follow-up to his much-reviled cult hit "House of 1000 Corpses" is loaded with filmmaking energy.
  7. Hustle & Flow
    Explosive entertainment.
  8. The Island
    A borrowed idea -- hello, "Blade Runner," hi there, "Matrix" -- but an idea nonetheless.
  9. Bad News Bears
    The mischief Thornton does make adds up to wild, rowdy fun.
  10. Last Days
    Van Sant, following "Gerry" and the superb "Elephant," is on the same elliptical quest. His journey is labored but undeniably hypnotic.
  11. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
    Depp and Burton fly too high on the vapors of pure imagination. But it's hard to not get hooked on something this tasty.
  12. Wedding Crashers
    Sometimes a movie comedy just clicks. Welcome to one of those times.
  13. Happy Endings
    The film rambles, but rambling with the mischievous Roos is still a tricky and winning proposition.
  14. Murderball
    It's original, outrageous and murderous fun.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Rize
    There's no way to take your eyes off it.
  18. March of the Penguins
    Michael Moore might want to look into this before more animal docs steal his thunder.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Mr. & Mrs. Smith
    Only Vince Vaughn registers hilariously as John's boss.
  22. Howl's Moving Castle
    There's a word for the kind of comic, dramatic, romantic, transporting visions Miyazaki achieves in Howl's: bliss.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Rock School
    You cheered Jack Black in "School of Rock," now give it up for Paul Green in the real thing.
  26. 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.
  27. The Longest Yard
    What links the two films in fun and ferocity is the big game, a ripsnorter that is irresistibly entertaining.
  28. 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.
  29. 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.
  30. 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.
