  1. Repo! The Genetic Opera
    Misery is enduring this Rocky Horror Paris Show.
  2. Soul Men
    Soul Men is a chance to salute these masters of mirth and music. Take it.
  3. Zack and Miri Make a Porno
    Naughty and nice is a killer-hard combo to pull off. Stick with Rogen and Banks. They rock it.
  4. What Just Happened
    There are funny scenes, nicely directed by Barry Levinson. Other stuff, involving De Niro's ex-wife (Robin Wright Penn) and their daughter (Kristen Stewart), are not much of anything. It's a tossup. Your call.
  5. Let the Right One In
    Stick your neck out for this Swedish horror show. It's a winner, full of mirth and malice, plus a young romance you'll never see on the Disney Channel.
  6. Synecdoche, New York
    Philip Seymour Hoffman creates a mesmerizing portrait of the artist as a young, old and middle-aged man.
  7. Changeling
    Jolie is inspired casting. She plays the role like a gathering storm, moving from terror to a fierce resolve. And Eastwood, at the peak of his artful powers, tightens the screws of suspense without ever forgetting where the heart of his film lies.
  8. Pride and Glory
    Its value is unquestionable as drama and moral provocation.
  9. High School Musical 3: Senior Year
    If you're gay and/or eight years old, HSM3 is the movie event of the year.
  10. W.
    Whatever you think of Dubya, he has balls. The movie doesn't.
  11. Filth and Wisdom
    An irredeemably dull tale.
  12. Max Payne
    If you stay and watch the endless end credits, there's a short scene that hints a sequel is coming. That's what I call real pain.
  13. Body of Lies
    The result is commendably non-West-centric, but no less sentimentally conceived.
  14. City of Ember
    You long for things to go bump in the night, but the movie muffles every risk in a blanket of bland.
  15. Happy-Go-Lucky
    No list of the year's best performances should be made without her (Sally Hawkins).
  16. RocknRolla
    RocknRolla is a kickass crime drama that just doesn't know to quit while it's ahead.
  17. Rachel Getting Married
    The acting is of the highest caliber. Winger, magnificent and too long between films, is a volcano of repressed anger.
  18. Religulous
    Maher can be a smartass, but his attempts to apply reason to religion are more a challenge than a threat.
  19. Flash of Genius
    Kearns' conflict is readable in Kinnear's every word and gesture. His performance is worth cheering.
  20. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
    Sollett, hoping for a "Before Sunrise/Before Sunset" vibe, sadly settles for a soggy aftertaste.
  21. Eagle Eye
    Questions: Did everyone involved in this botched thriller OD on speed? Does jimmy-legs director D.J. Caruso think if he slowed down the action we'd figure out how stupid the plot is?
  22. Miracle at St. Anna
    The film collapses because Lee can't sew these vignettes into a seamless tapestry. He's more interested in getting even than he is in getting it right.
  23. Appaloosa
    Appaloosa is gripping entertainment that keeps springing surprises.
  24. The Duchess
    It's Knightley who makes The Duchess a royal treat.
  25. Hounddog
    What I can't figure is why anyone would want to release this tripe in theaters just when Fanning has nearly lived it down. They ain't no friends of mine, or any other moviegoer.
  26. Lakeview Terrace
    The main problem with this treatise on racial politics undercover as an exercise in suspense is that the director, Neil LaBute, didn't write the script.
  27. Ghost Town
    It sounds sappy, and sometimes it is, but director Koepp and co-writer John Kamps stay alert to the humor and pathos of Bertram's isolation.
  28. Burn After Reading
    It would be no country for movie lovers without the Coens. They still manage to run unmuzzled while the rest of Hollywood runs scared.
  29. Towelhead
    The heart of the movie is really in Jasira's moments with her father, a mass of contradictions that Macdissi plays with comic ferocity and genuine feeling.
  30. Righteous Kill
    Righteous Kill, a.k.a. The Al and Bob Show, is a cop flick with all the drama of "Law and Order: AARP." This movie defines drag-ass.
