  1. Paper Heart
    Enjoying this wondrous wisp of a something is easy, describing it is hard. Luckily, Charlyne Yi is an enchantress.
  2. Funny People
    It's the work of a major talent. Apatow scores by crafting the film equivalent of a stand-up routine that encompasses the joy, pain, anger, loneliness and aching doubt that go into making an audience laugh.
  3. The Cove
    The Cove plays like a thriller. It has the breathless pace of a "Bourne" movie, but none of the comfort of fiction. This is documentary filmmaking at its most exciting and purposeful.
  4. In the Loop
    Laugh you will, loud and often. In the Loop deserves to be a sleeper hit. The whole cast is stellar. And it proves that smart and funny can exist in the same movie, even in summer.
  5. The Ugly Truth
    Toss this ugly-ass crap to the curb, along with the other multiplex garbage, and see a romance that gets it right. I'm talking "(500) Days of Summer."
  6. (500) Days of Summer
    A different kind of love story: an honest one that takes a piece out of you.
  7. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    Getting lost in the hypnotic Half-Blood Prince is what gives the movie its haunting power.
  8. Bruno
    You'll hoot and holler as it strips down its targets and sticks it to them, hardcore. Baron Cohen is the pure, untamed id of movie comedy.
  9. I Love You, Beth Cooper
    Aiming for the heartfelt hilarity of "Superbad," I Love You, Beth Cooper is just super bad.
  10. Public Enemies
    Public Enemies comes at you like Dillinger did: all of a sudden. It's movie dynamite.
  11. The Hurt Locker
    Here's the Iraq War movie for those who don't like Iraq War movies.
  12. My Sister's Keeper
    The infuriating cop–out ending reduces the premise to mush. I wanted to scream. Here goes: Arghh!
  13. Chéri
    With Pfeiffer, 50, radiating uncommon beauty, grace and feeling, Frears uncovers a fragile story's grieving heart.
  14. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
    Transformers 2 has a shot at the title Worst Movie of the Decade.
  15. Whatever Works
    Whatever Works feels like something out of time and, worse, out of step. Hell, Allen wrote the script back in the 1970s for Zero Mostel.
  16. The Proposal
    A romantic comedy so numbing it feels like Novocaine.
  17. Dead Snow
    If you tamp down your expectations -- those gaping plot holes are dangerous! -- there is a storm of scary fun to be had in this Scandinavian splatterfest.
  18. Moon
    Moon is a potent provocation that relies on ideas instead of computer tricks to stir up excitement.
  19. Food, Inc.
    Eating can be one dangerous business. Don't take another bite till you see Robert Kenner's Food, Inc., an essential, indelible documentary that is scarier than anything in the last five Saw horror shows.
  20. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
    It's a first-class ride. All aboard.
  21. The Hangover
    The Hangover ain't art, but Phillips has shaped the hardcore hilarity into the summer party movie of all our twisted dreams.
  22. Away We Go
    Rudolph, a comic force on "SNL," can speak volumes with the tilt of an eyebrow. She and Krasinski, of "The Office," are absolutely extraordinary. Ditto the film, which sneaks up and floors you.
  23. Land of the Lost
    Will Ferrell and Danny McBride can find the dumb fun in anything. Too bad that Land of the Lost is so much less than anything.
  24. Up
    Up is a breathtaking ride into the realm of pure imagination.
  25. Drag Me to Hell
    Horror-movie heaven.
  26. The Girlfriend Experience
    Stylishly shot on the high-def cheap, runs 77 potently sexless minutes. Its subject isn't erotica, it's commodities trading.
  27. Easy Virtue
    Director Stephan Elliott uncorks a rare vintage of laughs tinged with heartache.
  28. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
    The money shots of the living tableau are padded with jokes that feel embalmed before the actors get them out of their mouths.
  29. Terminator Salvation
    Bale even cedes the juiciest part to Aussie newcomer Sam Worthington, who is star material as a machine with a conscience. T4 is a mixed bag, but it's not f***ing amateur.
  30. Summer Hours
    Writer-director Olivier Assayas crafts a near perfect blend of humor and heartbreak, a lyrical masterwork that measures loss in terms practical and evanescent.
