  1. Eastern Promises
    In Eastern Promises, shot to envelop by the great Peter Suschitzky, Cronenberg brings us face to face with the horror of self.
  2. In the Valley of Elah
    The haunting, heart-piercing Elah isn't perfect. It's something better: essential.
  3. King of California
    In updating Shakespeare’s "The Tempest," writer-director Mike Cahill focuses on the magic worth finding between a father and daughter. That’s why the film sticks with you. It’s a gift.
  4. The Brave One
    Foster is electrifying as ego and id clash and the movie fires up with genuine provocation.
  5. 3:10 to Yuma
    Maybe this redo didn’t need so many bells and whistles, but Mangold brings it home.
  6. In the Shadow of the Moon
    Want to know what the “right stuff” really is? Take a look.
  7. Shoot 'Em Up
    This wet dream for action junkies leaves out logic and motivation --you know, all the boring stuff.
  8. Superbad
    It helps that the fun doesn't stop. It helps even more that the pitch-perfect script doesn’t step out of character for a joke.
  9. The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
    Who would have guessed that a documentary about gamers obsessed with scoring a world record at Donkey Kong would not only be roaringly funny but serve as a metaphor for the decline of Western civilization?
  10. Delirious
    Buscemi makes this pathetic and potentially lethal shutterbug a figure of surprising humor and compassion.
  11. The Bourne Ultimatum
    The movie is thunderously exciting, but what makes it resonate is the wrenching story we read on Damon's face. We've waited all summer for a wild ride to grab us with more than jolts. Now it's here. Hang on.
  12. Hot Rod
    I laughed, then I wished it was funnier, then I just wished it would end.
  13. The Simpsons Movie
    Homer even jokes that it takes a sucker to pay for a show you can get for free on TV. D'oh! That hurts.
  14. Hairspray
    It's hard to resist the film's exuberance.
  15. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
    No comedy this year can beat this dud for mealy-mouthed hypocrisy.
  16. Interview
    Stick with it for Miller’s gutsy tour de force and the kick of watching Buscemi, as actor and filmmaker, turn an experiment into a mesmerizing battle of wills.
  17. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    It will hook you good and keep you riveted.
  18. Ratatouille
    What makes Ratatouille such a hilarious and heartfelt wonder is the way Bird contrives to let it sneak up on you.
  19. Sicko
    In a summer of dumb, shameless drivel, Moore delivers a movie of robust mind and heart. You'll laugh till it hurts.
  20. Evening
    Susan Minot’s resplendent novel of a dying woman…stumbles on its way to the screen.
  21. Live Free or Die Hard
    Gets the action job done and you better believe that Bruce is still the man.
  22. 1408
    Heebie-jeebies are guaranteed.
  23. Evan Almighty
    It's Carell who projects the movie's only sense of mischief. But it's too little and too late.
  24. A Mighty Heart
    The film belongs to Jolie. She won an Oscar for 1999's "Girl, Interrupted," but this is by far her best performance.
  25. Lady Chatterley
    It's a movie as timely as it is thrilling to watch.
  26. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    The perfect summer movie, that is if you're eight years old or under. For the rest of us, the sequel to the first "Fantastic Four" that miraculously amassed more than $150 million in 2005, is a plotless, brainless, witless bore.
  27. Fido
    Director Andrew Currie is better at laughs than scares, but he can’t sustain either as Fido runs out of steam in the final stretch. Till then, it’s fiendish fun.
  28. Ocean's Thirteen
    Brad Pitt doesn't really act in Ocean's Thirteen, he just glides through the third chapter in Steven Soderbergh's heist-flick annuity on the magic carpet of his own unimpeachable cool. Don't knock it. Genuine star power is rare. Pitt has it in spades -- all aces.
  29. La Vie en Rose
    Dahan's impressionistic heartbreaker of a movie gets it all in. And Marion Cotillard, lip-syncing Piaf's songs and digging into her soul with gale-force urgency, gives a performance for the ages.
  30. Knocked Up
    Rogen and Heigl step up to the plate with a tougher task from Coach Apatow: Nail every laugh and the emotions underlying them. No worries. They knock it out of the park.
