  1. Lost in Translation
    Don't stall about seeing Sofia Coppola's altogether remarkable Lost in Translation. It's a class-act liftoff for the fall movie season. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson give performances that will be talked about for years.
  2. Once Upon a Time in Mexico
    You don't want to miss Depp in this movie -- he knocks it out of the park.
  3. The Order
    It's "The Exorcist" warmed over.
  4. Party Monster
    Feels fake, forced and indigestible.
  5. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star
    Spade goes sweet and gooey. This is nucking futs.
  6. Thirteen
    Brace yourself for Thirteen -- it'll cause a commotion.
  7. American Splendor
    Not your typical biopic. But it is one of the best times you'll have at the movies this year.
  8. Open Range
    Open Range copies the rain and flood of the Clint Eastwood classic but can't match it for dark-night-of-the-soul brilliance.
  9. Le divorce
    Acted with relish by a note-perfect cast -- a romantic comedy of true sophistication. There's a sting in every laugh.
  10. Step Into Liquid
    The best surfing documentary ever made. And that includes 1966's "The Endless Summer" and its terrific 1994 sequel -- both from Bruce Brown, Dana's father.
  11. S.W.A.T.
    What we have here is a model for the paint-by-numbers, perfectly generic, proudly soulless summer action flick. An original idea would die for lack of oxygen in S.W.A.T.
  12. The Secret Lives of Dentists
    Scott and Davis could not be better. You're in for something special.
  13. The Magdalene Sisters
    Mullan errs by making all the sisters dragon ladies. Still, the film gets to you; it's a powerhouse.
  14. American Wedding
    This third hunk of Pie is a worn-out gross-out, a remnant of a genre that now seems so five minutes ago.
  15. Gigli
    The only people likely to get a kick out of Gigli -- the first screen teaming of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez -- are Madonna and her director hubby Guy Ritchie. Finally there's a movie as jaw-droppingly awful as their "Swept Away."
  16. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
    Even sex can't save a film that produces instant narcolepsy.
  17. Buffalo Soldiers
    Adapting Robert O'Connor's novel, director Gregor Jordan slaps us with keen wit and purpose.
  18. Seabiscuit
    Unabashedly hokey, but would you want it any other way? In an era of cynical junk (did anyone say “Bad Boys II”?), Ross restores the good name of crowd-pleasing.
  19. Camp
    The modestly perfect antidote to a synthetic, overblown movie summer: a blast of exuberant fun that stays rooted in humanity.
  20. Masked and Anonymous
    It's only when the film attempts to express its ideas in spoken English that logic dissolves into a muddle that would test the most rabid Dylanologist.
  21. Johnny English
    Aussie singer Natalie Imbruglia gets to play the babe, nothing more, but she does that brightly. The rest of the movie is a dim bulb.
  22. How to Deal
    The pop diva goes down with the bubbles in this hopelessly shallow soap opera.
  23. Dirty Pretty Things
    Fueled by gripping suspense, dark humor and outraged humanity, the film is a modern horror story that means to shake you, and does.
  24. Bad Boys II
    Bad Boys II has everything. Everything loud, dumb, violent, sexist, racist, misogynistic and homophobic that producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay can think of puking up onscreen.
  25. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    Except for Connery, who is every inch the lion in winter, nothing here feels authentic.
  26. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
    Depp swans through this swashbuckler with a scene-stealing gusto unseen since Marlon Brando in "Mutiny on the Bounty." He's comic dynamite, but this plodding, repetitive bore should walk the plank for timidly refusing to light his fuse.
  27. Swimming Pool
    It's Sagnier, a young Bardot, who lifts the movie, and Rampling, 58, who gives it nuance, not to mention a nude scene that shows off a body Demi Moore would envy. These two make it seductive fun to be fooled.
  28. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
    May lack the mythic pow of the 1984 original and the visionary thrill of T2, but it's a potent popcorn movie that digs in its hooks and doesn't let go until an ending that ODs on apocalyptic hoo-ha.
  29. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde
    There's not enough here to sustain a half-hour sitcom, but Reese Witherspoon shoulders the burden with star shine to spare.
  30. Friday Night
    A mesmerizing erotic odyssey.
