  1. 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.
  2. Be Cool
    You know a sequel isn't working when, ten minutes into the movie, a voice inside your head starts screaming, "Please make it stop!"
  3. The Jacket
    Though shot for maximum moodiness by the gifted Peter Deming ("Mulholland Drive"), the movie straps you in for a head trip that promises hallucinatory wonders but delivers the same old Hollywood formula with sugar on top.
  4. The Pacifier
    It just plain sucks.
  5. Dear Frankie
    What could have been a sentimental train wreck emerges as a funny and touching portrait of three bruised people.
  6. Gunner Palace
    A riveting and indispensable record of the war in Iraq because it comes from the men who lived it.
  7. The Best of Youth
    The acting is electric. By the end of this haunting, hypnotic film, you feel you have watched lives being lived, not just imagined.
  8. Constantine
    The choice for the uninitiated is simple: Take the ride for its fitful thrills and dark elements, or just say the hell with it.
  9. Bride & Prejudice
    Lightweight but utterly beguiling.
  10. Hitch
    Will Smith has an easy charm, and this labored romantic farce works it hard. Too hard.
  11. 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.
  12. Assault on Precinct 13
    By playing it safe, the new Precinct leaves the audience sorry and restores thirteen to its place as the unluckiest number.
  13. Coach Carter
    This afternoon-TV special trying to pass as a real movie earns an extra half star solely for Samuel L. Jackson, who brings his usual fire to the role.
  14. Elektra
    Breathlessly boring.
  15. White Noise
    "Sixth Sense" rip-off.
  16. A Love Song for Bobby Long
    It's the stunning location photography of camera ace Elliot Davis that provides what the movie itself lacks: authenticity.
  17. The Assassination of Richard Nixon
    This riveting film qualifies as the anti-crowd-pleaser -- but Penn makes it unthinkable to turn away.
  18. The Merchant of Venice
    The film itself occasionally plods, but Pacino, tackling a tough trap of a role, raises the bar in a mesmerizing acting triumph.
  19. In Good Company
    Fresh comic thinking spices up this smart cookie of a satire from director-writer Paul Weitz (About a Boy). He makes it sexually provocative and subversively hilarious.
  20. The Woodsman
    It's Bacon who overcomes all obstacles.
  21. The Phantom of the Opera
    Phantom, still running on Broadway after sixteen years, is a rapturous spectacle. And the movie, directed full throttle by Joel Schumacher, goes the show one better.
  22. Hotel Rwanda
    George has been criticized for simplifying a complex story into an African "Schindler's List." But despite flaws in execution, this is a film of rare courage and imperishable heart.
  23. Imaginary Heroes
    What the movie damagingly lacks is a personality of its own.
  24. Beyond the Sea
    Doing his own singing (an uncanny imitation), Spacey is a marvel.
  25. The Sea Inside
    The film, quite rightly, is a tour de force for Bardem.
  26. Spanglish
    A rich blend of humor and heartbreak.
  27. The Aviator
    When it flies, it soars.
  28. Million Dollar Baby
    The knockout punch comes from Eastwood. His stripped-down performance -- as powerful as anything he's ever done -- has a rugged, haunting beauty. The same goes for the movie.
  29. Ocean's Twelve
    Clooney and company work it too hard this time. You can tell they're huffing and puffing to stay afloat. But all I hear is: glug glug glug.
  30. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
    Wilson drops the ironic smirk to give a sincerely affecting performance. His scenes with Murray provide the ballast when the script veers off into unconvincing pirate attacks and animated sea creatures.
