  1. Dragonslayer
    This movie has two big things going for it—the dragon and the man who masterminds its slaying.
  2. Four Lions
    What explosive mischief might they create? That's the premise of Morris' brilliantly incendiary new comedy Four Lions.
  3. Gladiator
    Quite a good movie--a big, fat, rousing, intelligent, daring, retro, many-adjective-requiring entertainment.

  4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
    This is a fairly low-keyed comedy, but a grown-up dropping in on it can appreciate its lack of frenzy, its fundamental good nature, as easily as its core audience will. It isn’t exactly a gem, but as zircons go, it’ll do.
  5. Concrete Cowboy
    Concrete Cowboy—directed by Ricky Staub and adapted from a novel by Greg Neri, inspired by Philadelphia’s real-life Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club—is your classic story about an irritable young man redeemed by an animal, and the embrace of a community. But it’s satisfying even so, largely because watching Elba is such a pleasure.
  6. Avatar: The Way of Water
    Avatar: The Way of Water is both more extravagant and dorkier than Avatar, which was pretty dorky to begin with.
  7. Snow Angels
    The film's success is due in large part to actors who are both faithful to all the social minutiae and seductive enough to keep you watching.
  8. Kid 90
    It’s not as self-absorbed as you might expect. It’s more about the nature of memory itself, the kind of movie Chris Marker might have made if, instead of an experimental filmmaker and mixed-media artist, he’d been a former Hollywood child star.
  9. Naked Lunch
    The movie is way too colorful - cute, in a repulsive way, with its crawly special effects - and tame compared with its source.
  10. Thirteen Days
    The players don't particularly look like their historical models, but they make us feel their life-threatening pain and puzzlement.
  11. Kung Fu Panda 2
    The new Panda has a bright palette, an amiable vibe and enough vivacity to keep kids entertained and any accompanying moms from bolting for "Bridesmaids."
  12. Robot and Frank
    What I'm saying is that I resisted the film but it won me over, a little more than I care to admit.
  13. Brigsby Bear
    Brigsby Bear is a sweet-natured picture with an undercurrent of prickly energy.

    Secret Agent
    Directed by England's pudgy master of melodrama, Alfred Hitchcock, Secret Agent is a first-rate sample of his knack of achieving speed by never hurrying, horror by concentrating on the prosaic.
  15. Nocturnal Animals
    As shot by the gifted cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, Nocturnal Animals is beautiful—or at least arresting—every minute, and it sure isn’t boring. But it’s unclear exactly what Ford is trying to say, though it’s clear he’s trying hard to say something. And that’s the most frustrating thing about this picture.
  16. The Well Digger's Daughter
    The full-bodied performances of Merad and Darroussin give everyone - everyone with an indulgence for old movies about old values - a reason to see this Well Digger's Daughter.
  17. T2 Trainspotting
    T2 squeaks by on the charm of its actors, all of whom still look pretty damn good -- especially McGregor, who remains a charismatic wag.
  18. This Is the End
    It is intensely raunchy and silly and joyous and tapped right into my inner teenager in a glorious way.
  19. Sound of My Voice
    The movie explores the basic debate over faith, the idea that we can feel a sense of relief in cynicism realized and turn around and face the horror of our lack of faith in the next moment.
  20. Fatal Attraction
    Well-made fictions like Fatal Attraction prosper because they seem more persuasive than fact.
  21. Fahrenheit 9/11
    A brisk and entertaining indictment of the Bush Administration’s middle East policies before and after September 11, 2001.
  22. An Ideal Husband
    An ideal play is degraded into an indolent film
  23. Synecdoche, New York
    No film with an ambition this large, and achievement this impressive, can be anything but exhilarating, a vital affirmation of the creative process.
  24. Charlie Wilson's War
    A picture about war and politics that has manages to be both rational and inspirational. It is also the year's funniest smart movie.
  25. 2 Days in Paris
    This anti romantic and anti-comic -- it's not as funny as Delpy seems to think it is -- movie may appeal to the dark side of your immune system.
  26. Finding Neverland
    Finding Neverland takes a big, brave leap and lands splat on the sidewalk.
  27. Jay Kelly
    There’s nothing overtly dislikable about the film, and there are a handful of scenes that are beautifully written, acted, and directed. But Jay Kelly feels more sentimental than truly thoughtful, particularly in the motif that resounds like a clanging bell in Jay’s brain: Why didn’t I spend more time with my kids?

    To Each His Own
    It is a tear-jerker that is consistently slick and at moments almost believable.
  29. Haywire
    Carano is her own best stuntwoman, but in the dialogue scenes she's all kick and no charisma. The MMA battler lacks the conviction she so forcefully displayed in the ring. She is not Haywire's heroine but its hostage.
  30. The Loneliest Whale: The Search for 52
    Even if you don’t care much about whales, or don’t think you do, Joshua Zeman’s enthusiastic documentary The Loneliest Whale: The Search for 52 might make you care about people who care about whales.
