  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Collateral
    As much a dark, odd couple comedy as it is a quirky, efficient little thriller.
  5. The Village
    The film's payoff raises more questions than it answers, which may be Shyamalan's intent in this political parable of fear.
  6. 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.
  7. I, Robot
    In the end, I, Robot is just an assembly-line product of a not very advanced model.
  8. 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.
  9. The Inheritance
    A formally elegant, subtly savage and powerfully affecting film.

    Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
    What's most captivating about Monster is that the camera never looks away and Metallica never hides.
  11. 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.
  12. Fahrenheit 9/11
    A brisk and entertaining indictment of the Bush Administration’s middle East policies before and after September 11, 2001.
  13. The Terminal
    The Terminal is Spielberg's shortest feature since the first "Jurassic Park," yet it drags, plods, piling one lifeless situation atop another. For all the effort and good intentions, the movie is in-terminal-ble.
  14. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
    If you surrender to the film's often inexplicable rhythms, if you let its dark materials reach out and envelop you, it can be a curiously rewarding experience -- a blend of silences and sudden bursts of violence that, despite its highly stylized manner, feels more edgily lifelike and more disturbing than most movies.
  15. The Stepford Wives
    A film full of smart laughs.
  16. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Enjoy the savory witches' brew that Cuaron has cooked up in his Harry pot. For on its own terms, this one is truly wizard.
  17. The Five Obstructions
    The next time you hear a director complain about the studio or his stars or the weather or whatever, think of what Jorgen Leth achieved with Lars von Trier as his boss -- when five obstructions became five splendid opportunities.
  18. Shrek 2
    This wonderfully animated movie is a little more softly pitched than its predecessor, but it still has plenty of rollicking spin on the ball.
  19. Troy
    In this vigorous, stalwart epic, they blend martial breadth and emotional intimacy, honor and obsession, romance and machismo to show the glamour and folly of war.
  20. Coffee and Cigarettes
    It feels as if it has been recovered from a time capsule, and what larger meaning it may have is anyone's guess. But it is way cool -- and funny -- in ways that more expensive comedies trying harder rarely are.
  21. Strayed
    Elegant and understated.
  22. Valentin
    Agresti's just out to give us a sentimental good time. Which some people, heaven help us, will have -- while the rest of us choke on the cutesiness.
  23. New York Minute
    It's pretty awful.
  24. The Saddest Music in the World
    In a movie age when there's hardly a garde, let alone an avant-garde, Maddin proves there are many languages to cinema, including the dead one of antique film. And in that language, he sings, he soars.
  25. Kill Bill: Vol. 2
    This being a Tarantino film, the conversations are as long and lurid and finely choreographed as the martial-arts set pieces.
  26. The Alamo
    Politics aside, this is a handsome film with orange skies to die for, or under, and a lovely score by Carter Burwell. The picture has some ponderous and snooze-worthy stretches, but it attains a certain melancholic grandeur, with the actors and crew fighting as desperately as Crockett and Bowie to make the best of a fated adventure.
  27. The Ladykillers
    The Coen brothers merrily subvert that standard caper trope.
  28. Dogville
    It's a brilliant idea, for about 10 minutes. Then the bare set is elbowed out of a viewer's mind by the threadbare plot and characterizations.
  29. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    Kaufman may be counting on the audience's will, insistence and yearning to create a coherent love story from the shards and shrapnel he provides us.
  30. Starsky & Hutch
    Starsky & Hutch has moments of hilarity a little greater than you might expect of a movie that is just out for a lazy good time.
