  1. Alfie
    The only touch of Caine's brutal sexiness is in the thrilling songs by Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart that should win Sir Mick his first Oscar. The rest is marshmallow.
  2. The Incredibles
    Bird has crafted a film -- one of the year's best -- that doesn't ring cartoonish, it rings true.
  3. Ray
    Jamie Foxx gets so far inside the man and his music that he and Ray Charles seem to breathe as one.
  4. Saw
    It's gross as hell.
  5. Birth
    The best of what's onscreen is a mesmerizing mind-teaser.
  6. Enduring Love
    Spellbinding.
  7. Sideways
    Pure movie bliss.
  8. The Machinist
    Director Brad Anderson tightens the screws of suspense, but it's Bale's gripping, beyond-the-call-of-duty performance that holds you in thrall.
  9. Undertow
    It's no go. Green and Gothic make for a clumsy fit.
  10. Team America: World Police
    A ruthlessly clever musical, a punchy political parody and the hottest look ever at naked puppets -- the first film, porn included, in which a woody is actually made of wood.
  11. Shall We Dance
    What's left is a lot of strenuous playacting when what's called for is the finesse of the Japanese original. Skip this stub-toed substitute.
  12. Being Julia
    Hungarian director Istvan Szabo (Sunshine) overplays his hand and traps Bening in a role that's all emoting, no emotion.
  13. P.S.
    P.S., adapted from Helen Schulman's novel, is Linney's show, and she makes it hilarious and haunting.
  14. Vera Drake
    Using Staunton's face as his canvas, Leigh crafts a powerfully moving film that is unmissable and unforgettable.
  15. Friday Night Lights
    Thornton gets inside the coach's skin. It's a subtle, soulful performance in a movie that otherwise goes for the jugular.
  16. Stage Beauty
    Expertly directed by Richard Eyre (Iris) from Jeffrey Hatcher's play, the film is bawdy fun.
  17. Tarnation
    The result is a film that defies description. I'd call it some kind of miracle.
  18. Shark Tale
    It's stale, like something you wrap in yesterday's newspaper.
  19. I Heart Huckabees
    Best of all is Mark Wahlberg as Tommy, an angry post-9/11 firefighter so against Big Oil that he rides to fire scenes on his bike.
  20. Infernal Affairs
    Throbs with action, suspense and a seductive rhythm all its own.
  21. Shaun of the Dead
    Blast of fright and fun.
  22. The Motorcycle Diaries
    A mesmerizing look at an asthmatic, rich-boy medical student in the act of discovering his insurgent spirit.
  23. The Last Shot
    Never achieves liftoff.
  24. A Dirty Shame
    A Dirty Shame is Waters unleashed, and wicked, kinky fun for anyone except the twits who rated it NC-17.
  25. The Yes Men
    Subversive and diabolically funny.
  26. Wimbledon
    There's no script to speak of, just two appealing actors volleying comic-romantic cliches at each other.
  27. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    It's a gimmick, it's not a movie.
  28. Head in the Clouds
    This spark-free film has no place to go on their resumes except under the heading of "Cringing Embarrassment."
  29. Silver City
    The real action in Silver City happens on the fringes, where the mischief is. Daryl Hannah is spice incarnate as Dickie's sexy screw-up sister. Billy Zane plays a lobbyist with insinuating soullessness. And Dreyfuss feasts on the snappiest lines.
  30. Criminal
    Here's the problem: The movie was made just four years ago by Argentinian director Fabian Bielinsky. It is called "Nine Queens," and it is vastly superior to this blah U.S. remake from director Gregory Jacobs.
