  1. Casino Jack
    Spacey holds center. He's a bonfire.
  2. Rabbit Hole
    Nicole Kidman is just astonishing in Rabbit Hole - subtle, fierce, brutally funny, tender when you least expect it, and battered by the feelings that hit her when she forgets to duck.
  3. TRON: Legacy
    Bridges has a fine time playing with himself, so to speak. Add Garrett Hedlund as Flynn's son Sam, the rebel who zaps himself into the server to find his lost dad, and director Joseph Kosinski has a recipe for adventure that should delight gamers. Non-techies are on their own.
  4. Megamind
    Director Tom McGrath keeps the action spinning and trips lightly over the bummer spectacle of watching a bad boy go good.
  5. Due Date
    Recipe for nutso fun: Mix Zach Galifianakis with Robert Downey Jr. Apply the same mold John Hughes used for "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." Have Todd Phillips stir with wack-ass abandon. Don't worry about missing ingredients, like plot. Serve to an audience ready to lap it up.
  6. Unstoppable
    a bang-up ride that means to wring you out. Mission accomplished.
  7. Love and Other Drugs
    Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal are hotties with talent. And they maneuver through the daunting maze of shifting tones and intersecting plots of Love and Other Drugs like the pros they are.
  8. Tiny Furniture
    It's the work of a filmmaker with a stunning future.
  9. The King's Speech
    Two men alone create an epic landscape of feeling in one of the very best movies of the year.
  10. The Tourist
    In a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap. It offers talented people trapped in creative inertia. A microscope and a search party could not discover any trace of chemistry between Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.
  11. The Tempest
    I found myself wishing that Taymor would turn off the sound and fury and let The Tempest speak for itself. My wish wasn't granted.
  12. The Fighter
    The Fighter, its heart full to bursting, is an emotional powerhouse that comes close to spilling over.
  13. Tangled
    Disney's spirited re-telling of Rapunzel in 3D animation turns out to be a dazzler.
  14. Burlesque
    It could have been the 21st-century Showgirls. I wouldn't have missed that for the world. Instead, Burlesque, starring Cher and Christina Aguilera playing drag queen versions of themselves with all the vitality of Madame Tussauds wax dolls, is a bust that lacks the pizzaz and bugfuck nuttiness of Paul Verhoeven's 1995 trash epic.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
    Part I is more disappointment than disaster. It merely rolls along like something off an assembly line. Untouched by human hands.
  16. Night Catches Us
    Hamilton manifests her vision of what politics can do to individual thinking with subtlety and sophistication. Remember her name. She's a genuine find.
  17. All Good Things
    The result is a potent and provocative movie that will keep you up nights.
  18. I Love You Phillip Morris
    It's one crazy love story, but Carrey and McGregor make it work by making us buy the romance as the real thing. There's something about these Marys that pulls you in.
  19. Black Swan
    Portman's portrait of an artist under siege is unmissable and unforgettable. So is the movie. You won't know what hit you.
  20. Made in Dagenham
    Sally Hawkins is just plain irresistible in this funny, touching and vital salute to women in the work force.
  21. The Next Three Days
    It's damn hard to enjoy a thriller when you don't, won't, can't believe a word of it.
  22. Morning Glory
    A tart, terrific comedy that gives Harrison Ford his best and funniest role in years.
  23. 127 Hours
    Like the A.R. Rahman score that drives the movie, the triumphant 127 Hours pays fitting tribute to Aron by being thrillingly alive.
  24. Fair Game
    Spends too much time covering ground well known from the headlines. But the scenes of the couple at home with their children and friends are uniquely fascinating, if not, in Wilson's words, "very 007-ish."
  25. Welcome to the Rileys
    The actors and admirably sensitive director Jake Scott (son of Ridley) can't compensate for Ken Hixon's long slog of a script.
  26. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
    Hornet's Nest is talky but indisputably terrific, and it ends in a dazzling display of courtroom fireworks. Rapace is hot stuff in any language. Oscar, take heed.
  27. Paranormal Activity 2
    If you're looking for wicked fun this Halloween, Paranormal Activity 2 is the best goosebump game in town.
  28. Conviction
    Sam Rockwell has yet to find a movie as good as he is (Moon comes closest). He's still looking.
  29. Hereafter
    Hereafter, set to a resonant Eastwood score, truly is haunting.
  30. Jackass 3-D
    Knoxville and his boys seem to be saying goodbye. To which I can't help thinking, fondly, it's time.
