  1. Another Year
    This humane movie is an ode to joy, albeit of the mature sort.
  2. White Material
    Unhurried in its storytelling but unshakable in its impact.
  3. The Illusionist
    The Illusionist has surprises up its sleeve that are unusually nuanced for an animated movie.
  4. The Mechanic
    Even by the sloppy, soulless standards of hit man movies, The Mechanic is a mess.
  5. The Rite
    That's right - this is an exorcism movie that those who actually saw "The Exorcist" in theaters can get into.
  6. Summer Wars
    Summer Wars has engineered a truce between the familiar and the fantastical.
  7. No Strings Attached
    A foul-mouthed comedy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. "Bad Santa" (2003) also had plenty of crude language and lewd behavior. The difference is, "Bad Santa" was extremely funny.
  8. The Way Back
    You would expect an epic with brains and hearts. Instead we settle for sturdy craft, with a stellar cast struggling to breathe life into the cold material.
  9. Somewhere
    A distinctly European exercise in observational nuance and tonal restraint in which Coppola stretches static images to the breaking point.
  10. Rabbit Hole
    Might be mistaken for a mere soap opera. But it's actually an emotional symphony.
  11. Blue Valentine
    It's true that the movie is both emotionally violent and sexually explicit. Yet these scenes from a marriage are crafted with such attention to detail and overarching honesty that Blue Valentine touches the heart.
  12. The Green Hornet
    Seth Rogen is the Green Hornet. What else do you need to know?
  13. The Dilemma
    It's classic sitcom shtick, and The Dilemma is a painful reminder that director Ron Howard was trained in television.
  14. Made in Dagenham
    Even with a large cast, groovy clothes and cool pop songs, Hawkins holds our attention with a combination of modesty and moral strength.
  15. Gulliver's Travels
    Loosely - very loosely - based on the classic Jonathan Swift story, "Gulliver's Travels" begins promisingly but quickly loses its way.
  16. The King's Speech
    The King's Speech is the epitome of prestige cinema, an impeccably crafted and emotionally compelling drama that deserves the many laurels it surely will receive.
  17. All Good Things
    There's a fascinating story here for a bolder filmmaker, but after so much meandering it's a relief that "All Good Things" must come to an end.
  18. True Grit
    True Grit is just a couple bloody gunfights removed from an old-fashioned Disney yarn. Yet it's still unmistakably a Coen brothers movie, from the stray weirdness of a bearskin-clad dentist to the bulls-eye delights of the dialogue.
  19. Little Fockers
    If instead of story and characters, your movie wish list includes projectile vomiting and erection gags, this lump of coal has your name on it.
  20. Tamara Drewe
    It's a tart trifle, but in the madding crowd of year-end movies, Tamara Drewe rocks.
  21. Leaving
    In the infidelity drama Leaving, British reserve gets overtaken by French passion, and the subsequent events have the horrific momentum of a slow-motion car crash.
  22. Marwencol
    Hogancamp's alliance with director Jeff Malmberg in this artful and poignant film marks a victory in the war against the self.
  23. Yogi Bear
    Here, Dan Aykroyd mimics the original voice, but the three-dimensional CGI isn't loose and lively enough to compensate for the unimaginative story.
  24. The Fighter
    Director David O. Russell ("Three Kings") delivers a film of staggering impact.
  25. How Do You Know
    A bit slow to get started, and it's nowhere near as funny as "The Hangover." But it'll make you smile.
  26. TRON: Legacy
    It's a triumph of streamlined design, but TRON: Legacy never enters the fourth dimension where it's worth a plugged nickel to humans.
  27. Megamind
    Megamind falls flat.
  28. Due Date
    Pregnant with possibility; it's the delivery that disappoints.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Unstoppable
    This movie is Denzel Washington stopping a speeding train devoid of subtext, blunders and earth-shattering revelations about the human condition. It is precisely as entertaining as it sounds; no more, no less.
  30. Love and Other Drugs
    Successful in small doses, but the full regimen needed more testing.
