    The Adventures of Felix
    Sectioned neatly into chapters with titles like "Mon petit frere" and "Ma mere," the film is perhaps a little too rigid, even by the conventions of road movies.

    Japan
    This strange and beautifully expressive film set in a remote Mexican canyon has nothing whatsoever to do with Japan, but its themes are as universal as they come.

    L.I.E.
    The subject matter is certainly controversial -- it's not every day that we see a sympathetic portrayal of a pedophile -- but Cuesta avoids the taint of salaciousness, thanks in large part to a brilliant performance from Cox.

    Twentynine Palms
    Even adventurous moviegoers who are familiar with Bruno Dumont's previous features...may be taken aback by the intensity of this shocker.

    Ticket to Jerusalem
    Masharawi's use of actual footage of clogged roadblocks and scary police actions bring a topical immediacy to his film, but it also asks an important question about the relevance of art during a time of crisis.
  6. One True Thing
    The framing story is pointless and almost insulting, even though it's part of former New York Times columnist Anna Quindlen's novel.

    Biandan, guniang
    The film is filled with a languid air of decadence and decay, and a touching sympathy for people whose lives are crushed in the shadows of progress.

    Chasers
    Dennis Hopper's knockabout direction makes CHASERS an engaging action farce; his intelligence and sensitivity make this modest military comedy more memorable than most.

    Riding Giants
    Peralta includes amazing archival footage to demonstrate just how far surfing in general permeated American popular culture, but also narrows his focus to follow the evolution of the surfboard itself.

    Babe
    Babe could charm the pants off the most unregenerate cynic.

    Vodka Lemon
    The situation in these former republics may indeed be dire, but it's a breeding ground for exciting cinema.

    Rain
    Adapted from Kirsty Gunn's acclaimed novel, New Zealand director Christine Jeff's debut feature is a small masterpiece of atmosphere.

    Where's Marlowe?
    This smart spoof of film noir and filmmaking is very clever and riotously funny.
  14. The Cockettes
    This amazing footage alternates with interviews that include more than a dozen surviving members of the troupe, whose recollections are by turn funny, touching and mind-boggling. What a time!

    About Baghdad
    This excellent documentary from Iraqi writer-turned-filmmaker Sinan Antoon presents their hopes and fears directly from the Iraqis themselves.

    Together Brothers
    Brilliant performances by young, inexperienced actors help make this picture work.
  17. Me & Isaac Newton
    You don't have to be a chem-lab wonk to be seduced by the seven scientists who discuss their work and lives in this engaging film.
  18. Grizzly Man
    A rapt fascination with transcendent lunacy runs through Herzog's work, both fiction and documentary; while disdaining Treadwell's rhapsodically anthropomorphized vision of nature.

    Code Unknown: Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys
    With virtually no music and very little expository dialogue, this is one of the rare films with enough faith in moviegoers to let them figure things out for themselves.

    Vatel
    You could hardly ask for more from a historical spectacle: Silly wigs, plunging décolletage, lavish banquets in ornate halls, a stirring score from Ennio Morricone and witty dialogue by Tom Stoppard.
  21. The Dreamers
    Ultimately, the film works best when viewed as a tone poem that examines the present through the prism of the past.

    Beau Travail
    Denis dispenses with most of Melville's hefty Christian symbolism in favor of the story's other great theme -- repressed homoerotic desire.

    The Sleepy Time Gal
    Excellent performances from Jacqueline Bisset and Martha Plimpton grace this deeply touching melodrama.

    Short Eyes (re-release)
    The ensemble is a tight one that places the audience right in the middle of the nightmare.

    New Suit
    Snappy and smart, the film gets surprisingly far on a fairly contrived conceit, proving that there's no energy quite like energy fueled by anger and disgust.
  26. Out of Sight
    Steven Soderbergh's direction conjures an understated '70s vibe, striking an apparently effortless balance between grit and glamour.
