  1. Solitary Man
    Douglas never makes a false move, delivering a tour de force in human weakness.
  2. Robin Hood
    What this Robin Hood lacks in fun it makes up for in epic sweep.
  3. Letters to Juliet
    It's unapologetic schmaltz, deftly directed by Gary Winick (Tadpole) as if it really meant something.
  4. Iron Man 2
    Favreau supplies the go-go-go that makes the movie stratospherically entertaining, even without 3-D. But it's the promiscuously talented Downey who adds the grace notes that make Iron Man 2 something to remember.
  5. Mother and Child
    In Mother and Child, he (Rodrigo Garcia) creates an emotional powerhouse.
  6. A Nightmare on Elm Street
    It's the Bay touch you feel in the way actors register as body count, characters go undeveloped, and sensation trumps feeling. A nightmare, indeed.
  7. Harry Brown
    In "Gran Torino," Eastwood took on the moral issues that screenwriter Gary Young and first-time director Daniel Barber studiously avoid. It's the difference between riveting and repellent.
  8. Please Give
    The pitch-perfect performances help Holofcener stir up feelings that cut to the heart of what defines an ethical life. There's no movie around right now with a subject more pertinent. It'll hit you hard.
  9. The Human Centipede (First Sequence)
    The only way to react is by bringing a barf bag or a strong sense of gallows humor.
  10. The Losers
    As an action fix to hold you before the summer explosions start, you could do worse than The Losers. It’s no more than an efficient time-killer.
  11. Kick-Ass
    The movie belongs to Moretz, whose sensational performance will be talked about for years. Her scenes with Cage, who wears a Batsuit and uses a voice borrowed from Adam West, are a hoot.
  12. Exit Through the Gift Shop
    The line between making guerrilla art and selling out has never blurred more provocatively.
  13. The Secret in Their Eyes
    The Secret in Their Eyes has a decent shot at wearing down resistance to subtitled films. Don't be put off. This spellbinder from Argentina will sneak up and floor you. It's that good.
  14. Date Night
    Stay for the outtakes – they’re improv delights, suggesting the movie that might have been if they had just left it all to Carell and Fey.
  15. When You're Strange
    Unhappy with what Oliver Stone did to Jim Morrison and the Doors in his 1991 biopic? Here’s the doc for you.
  16. The Greatest
    Brosnan, on a roll with this film and "The Ghost Writer," vividly etches the emotional fissures in a man coming apart. The Greatest takes a piece out of you.
  17. Clash of the Titans
    The film is a sham, with good actors going for the paycheck and using beards and heavy makeup to hide their shame.
  18. The Last Song
    The only tragedy you'll face is paying good money to this swill.
  19. Hot Tub Time Machine
    Hot Tub Time Machine should have been better than this. It could have been poignant.
  20. Chloe
    I didn't believe a word of it.
  21. How to Train Your Dragon
    Works enough miracles of 3-D animation to charm your socks off.
  22. City Island
    A warmly hilarious movie about family members and their secret hearts.
  23. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    This dynamite thriller shivers with suspense. So if you ignore The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) because it's in Swedish with English subtitles, you probably deserve the remake Hollywood will surely screw up.
  24. Greenberg
    See this darkly comic character study unburdened by preconceptions.
  25. The Runaways
    Say what you will about the Runaways – they never played it safe. The movie does.
  26. Green Zone
    Miller's wake-up call is meant to be ours. Too little and too late? Maybe. But even in this Bourne Zone, Damon and Greengrass haven't shirked their duty to enlighten and entertain.
  27. She's Out of My League
    A rowdy blast because the spiky young cast treats the played-out script like virgin territory. That's acting!
  28. Remember Me
    The brooding RPatz doesn’t bite. But his movie does.
  29. Alice in Wonderland
    Still, even Disney and a PG rating can't bury Burton's subversive wit. Like Carroll, he's a master at dressing up psychic wounds in fantasy.
  30. Brooklyn's Finest
    Simultaneously full of itself and full of sh--, Brooklyn's Finest is a cop movie so shallow, dumb, derivative and infuriating that it feels like a parody of bad cop movies.
