  1. The Aviator
    Despite its star's heroic efforts, The Aviator is a gorgeous jet, flying on automatic pilot.
  2. 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.
  3. Born Into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids
    Very moving film.
  4. Closer
    Funny, hurtful, splendidly acted.
  5. 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.
  6. A Very Long Engagement
    Can a movie have too much good stuff? Not when it's stuffed like this one.
  7. Alexander
    Makes for a long, lumpy trip with a charismatic guide and some brilliant detours.
  8. Finding Neverland
    Finding Neverland takes a big, brave leap and lands splat on the sidewalk.
  9. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
    We forgive Bridget the movie its obvious flaws because of its equally inescapable charm.
  10. 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.
  11. The Polar Express
    Tom Hanks doesn't turn Polar Express into much of a thrill ride. For that you need 3-D goggles.
  12. The Incredibles
    The Incredibles has those characters, that heart.
  13. Ray
    If there were an Oscar for ensemble acting, Ray would win in a stroll.
  14. Sideways
    Sideways is by far the year's best American movie.
  15. Team America: World Police
    The real kick, however, is in the grandeur and detail of the production design, by Jim Dultz and David Rockwell.
  16. Vera Drake
    This very patient film reaches out and unshakably grips us.
  17. Shark Tale
    The film has a hectic, sitcom air and a full-of-himself hero who is as likely to grate as to ingratiate.
  18. 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.
  19. Silver City
    An uninvolving muddle.
  20. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
    It points out what's missing in his (Oshii) approach: fluidity of character line, the subtlety of expression that brought humanity to a Warner Bros. cartoon duck or rabbit.
  21. Vanity Fair
    There's something about her (Nair) Vanity Fair that doesn't quite work. There is no depth beneath its bright surfaces, no potent emotional undercurrents.
  22. Hero
    Hero is the masterpiece. It employs unparalleled visual splendor to show why men must make war to secure the peace and how warriors may find their true destiny as lovers.
  23. Collateral
    As much a dark, odd couple comedy as it is a quirky, efficient little thriller.
  24. The Village
    The film's payoff raises more questions than it answers, which may be Shyamalan's intent in this political parable of fear.
  25. Intimate Strangers
    It proposes that you can make an extraordinarily satisfying comedy without writing a joke. Subtly played and elegantly directed, this is an Adults Only movie in the best sense of the term.
  26. I, Robot
    In the end, I, Robot is just an assembly-line product of a not very advanced model.
  27. Maria Full of Grace
    What we come to care most about in writer-director Joshua Marston's film is how his heroine achieves the state promised by his title, Maria Full of Grace. Our emotional investment in her derives primarily from the astonishing performance of Moreno, 23.
  28. The Inheritance
    A formally elegant, subtly savage and powerfully affecting film.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
    What's most captivating about Monster is that the camera never looks away and Metallica never hides.
  30. King Arthur
    The weather is always inclement, the protagonists are all muddy when they're not bloody, King Arthur's Christianity is muscular but joyless, and Guinevere is often daubed with blue paint. No, folks, we're not in Camelot anymore.
