  1. Persons of Interest
    The callous inequity of what you see and hear will floor you. It can't happen here. But it did. It does.
  2. Vanity Fair
    In an effort to blend Thackeray and "Sex and the City," Vanity Fair ends up nowhere.
  3. Bush's Brain
    Potent if hardly evenhanded documentary.
  4. Hero
    The film never musters the intimate feel the gifted director brought to such early films as "Raise the Red Dragon" and "Ju Dou." You cheer his accomplishment in Hero without ever feeling close to it.
  5. Bright Young Things
    By the time Fry lets darkness encroach on these bright young things, the fizz is gone, and so is any reason to make us give a damn.
  6. Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War
    There is nothing new in Robert Greenwald's sobering doc.
  7. Red Lights
    Darroussin is killer good and director Cedric Kahn turns Georges Simenon's seminal novel into a darkly comic spellbinder that pins you to your seat.
  8. We Don't Live Here Anymore
    The film, sometimes talky and overemphatic, is also literate, erotic, brutally funny and touched by brilliance in its quartet of live-wire performances.
  9. Code 46
    What doesn't spark is the love story. Morton still seems soggy from her "Minority Report" role as a drenched pre-cog. Who wants romance in a future where glum is the word?
  10. Little Black Book
    Here's a comedy of punishing tedium that pretends to be hip when it's so five minutes ago.
  11. Open Water
    The ending -- a more devastating surprise than "The Village" could manage -- caps eighty sweat-job minutes of imaginative, jolting suspense.
  12. Collateral
    No crime film in years boasts a cooler vibe than Michael Mann's dazzling Collateral.
  13. The Village
    The Village, even when its step falters, is on to something more provocative than seeing dead people. Its power, unrelated to digital monsters, comes from the tension building inside the characters.
  14. The Manchurian Candidate
    This riveting film is marred by compromises -- such as a switch of assassins to create an unpersuasive upbeat ending -- that keep it in the shadow of its predecessor.
  15. She Hate Me
    When a Spike Lee film doesn't fly, it sinks like a stone.
  16. Garden State
    It's a hilarious and heartfelt ode to twentysomething angst. Braff has himself a winner.
  17. Catwoman
    Not to be catty about it, but the stench of the litter pan is all over this big-screen $90 million disaster-in-waiting.
  18. A Home at the End of the World
    How many movies these days leave you wanting more? The funny and heartfelt Home is a small treasure.
  19. The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi
    Kitano is a riveting spectacle. So's the movie.
  20. The Bourne Supremacy
    If you've forgotten the kick you get from watching a globe-trotting, butt-kicking, whiplash-paced action movie done with humor, style and smarts, take a ride with The Bourne Supremacy.
  21. A Cinderella Story
    It's probably the movie event of the summer if you're an eight-year-old girl who doesn't get out much.
  22. Maria Full of Grace
    Marston builds incredible tension. But it's the human drama etched on Moreno's young, weary face that gives Maria its potent punch.
  23. The Door in the Floor
    You can't shut the door on this spellbinder. It gets into your head.
  24. Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
    Don't let anyone spoil the surprises of this thrashing, thrilling chunk of cinematic gold. It's one for the time capsule.
  25. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
    There's no sense to the scene in which the boys get together for a close-harmony rendition of "Afternoon Delight" -- just pure pleasure.
  26. King Arthur
    Strains credulity at every turn.
  27. The Clearing
    The pleasures of this endeavor, directed with a keen eye for detail by Pieter Jan Brugge, come from what the actors bring to the material.
  28. Before Sunset
    There is something uniquely unforgettable in the way Linklater, Hawke and Delpy (equal collaborators on the script) find nuance, art and eroticism in words, spoken and unspoken. The actors shine.
  29. De-Lovely
    At its best, De-Lovely evokes a time, a place and a sound with stylish wit and sophistication.
  30. Spider-Man 2
    A sequel of twisted thrills and sly surprises.
