  1. The Ballad of Jack and Rose
    The film doesn't scale Shakespearean heights, but it does give its star a nicely gnarled ogre to play.
  2. Melinda and Melinda
    Allen has assembled an attractive cast and given most of them clichés to inhabit. He has also stinted on inventiveness.
  3. Robots
    Robots goes for a color scheme that is cool, muted, instantly aged. Director Chris Wedge wants the eye to concentrate on the gags he and his writers (including veteran comedy craftsmen Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel) have stuffed into the film.
  4. Constantine
    Constantine is a one-of-a-kind hybrid: a theological noir action film. And until it goes irrevocably goofy at the end, it's a smart ride--and smart-looking too.
  5. Ong Bak
    Pummeling, exhilarating.
  6. Bride & Prejudice
    Heart and art can make a beguiling pair. Those are mostly missing in this strained hybrid, which is less Bollywood than Follywood.
  7. Assault on Precinct 13
    The differences between the two Assaults--the new one's pretty good, the old one near great--are of tone, style and perspective.
  8. In Good Company
    Leaves a quiz show's quantity of unanswered questions. But it has the optimism and determination of a corporate whistle-blower. It makes us believe, for a moment, that it's possible to end-run the spirit of Enron.
  9. The Merchant of Venice
    Pacino seems to recall, from his early Michael Corleone days, the power of whispered menace.
  10. The Woodsman
    It is among the best and most delicately managed films of the year.
  11. Hotel Rwanda
    It is a powerful portrait of a slightly befuddled man who, when inhuman demands were placed on him, found within himself an unexpected response.
  12. The Aviator
    Despite its star's heroic efforts, The Aviator is a gorgeous jet, flying on automatic pilot.
  13. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
    For those of us who think this is the best comedy of 2004, the genius of the movie lies in its relocation.
  14. Born Into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids
    Very moving film.
  15. Closer
    Funny, hurtful, splendidly acted.
  16. House of Flying Daggers
    The cast list is like a convocation of the Three Chinas: Taiwan's Kaneshiro, Hong Kong's Lau and the mainland's Zhang Ziyi. All are terrific, but the lady shines brightest.
  17. A Very Long Engagement
    Can a movie have too much good stuff? Not when it's stuffed like this one.
  18. Alexander
    Makes for a long, lumpy trip with a charismatic guide and some brilliant detours.
  19. Finding Neverland
    Finding Neverland takes a big, brave leap and lands splat on the sidewalk.
  20. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
    We forgive Bridget the movie its obvious flaws because of its equally inescapable charm.
  21. Kinsey
    The movie wants to entertain and educate, not leer, about people flummoxed by participating in a revolution they had meant only to calibrate, and at that it succeeds handsomely.
  22. The Polar Express
    Tom Hanks doesn't turn Polar Express into much of a thrill ride. For that you need 3-D goggles.
  23. The Incredibles
    The Incredibles has those characters, that heart.
  24. Ray
    If there were an Oscar for ensemble acting, Ray would win in a stroll.
  25. Sideways
    Sideways is by far the year's best American movie.
  26. Team America: World Police
    The real kick, however, is in the grandeur and detail of the production design, by Jim Dultz and David Rockwell.
  27. Vera Drake
    This very patient film reaches out and unshakably grips us.
  28. Shark Tale
    The film has a hectic, sitcom air and a full-of-himself hero who is as likely to grate as to ingratiate.
  29. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    Conran hasn't attached his technical virtuosity to a ripping yarn or infused it with behavioral brio. The first of its kind often doesn't work; Sky Captain may be the Moses that leads other directors to a blue-sky, blue-screen promised land.
  30. Silver City
    An uninvolving muddle.
