  1. The Yes Men
    Subversive and diabolically funny.
  2. A Dirty Shame
    A Dirty Shame is Waters unleashed, and wicked, kinky fun for anyone except the twits who rated it NC-17.
  3. The Last Shot
    Never achieves liftoff.
  4. Infernal Affairs
    Throbs with action, suspense and a seductive rhythm all its own.
  5. Shaun of the Dead
    Blast of fright and fun.
  6. The Motorcycle Diaries
    A mesmerizing look at an asthmatic, rich-boy medical student in the act of discovering his insurgent spirit.
  7. Head in the Clouds
    This spark-free film has no place to go on their resumes except under the heading of "Cringing Embarrassment."
  8. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    It's a gimmick, it's not a movie.
  9. Wimbledon
    There's no script to speak of, just two appealing actors volleying comic-romantic cliches at each other.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Vanity Fair
    In an effort to blend Thackeray and "Sex and the City," Vanity Fair ends up nowhere.
  14. Bush's Brain
    Potent if hardly evenhanded documentary.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War
    There is nothing new in Robert Greenwald's sobering doc.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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?
  21. Little Black Book
    Here's a comedy of punishing tedium that pretends to be hip when it's so five minutes ago.
  22. Open Water
    The ending -- a more devastating surprise than "The Village" could manage -- caps eighty sweat-job minutes of imaginative, jolting suspense.
  23. Collateral
    No crime film in years boasts a cooler vibe than Michael Mann's dazzling Collateral.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
  26. She Hate Me
    When a Spike Lee film doesn't fly, it sinks like a stone.
  27. Garden State
    It's a hilarious and heartfelt ode to twentysomething angst. Braff has himself a winner.
  28. 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.
  29. 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.
  30. The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi
    Kitano is a riveting spectacle. So's the movie.
