  1. When Brendan Met Trudy
    If you're charmed from the outset, this is an enjoyable trifle; if you're not, it never gets any less mannered and convinced of its own wit.
  2. Simon Magus
    Though the film ends on a surprising and genuinely magical note, it takes its own sweet time getting there; some viewers will have lost patience before the denouement arrives.

    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.
  4. Get Over It
    Anonymously titled and packaged like a vulgar teen sex comedy, this candy-colored trifle is so precious it nearly floats away on a cloud of fairy dust.
  5. 15 Minutes
    Herzfeld's sophomore movie is one long howl of rage over the relationship between criminals, journalists and thrill-hungry audiences.

    The Gleaners & I
    It's a humbling way of life, and one that, as Varda discovers in this wonderful, 80-minute essay, has survived in surprising ways.
  7. Blow Dry
    The result is formulaic, shamelessly manipulative and surprisingly watchable.
  8. The Caveman's Valentine
    Overall it's a frustratingly uneven movie, delicate at one moment and bluntly obvious the next.
  9. Series 7: The Contenders
    The movie's mimicry of reality TV clichés is eerie, from the use of re-creations and supplemental footage (especially the experimental video Dawn and Jeff made together for a high school art project) to the smarmy commentary.
  10. Me You Them
    Like the hardscrabble lives of this isolated wasteland, it's equal parts unforgiving white-heat aridity and golden late-afternoon glow.
  11. See Spot Run
    Fart, feces and gonad gags notwithstanding, this knockabout comedy is no more vulgar than most contemporary children's films, and more good-natured than many.
  12. The Gospel According to Philip K. Dick
    The filmmakers created an animated version of the writer to accompany audio clips of Dick speaking. It's a well-intentioned but unsatisfying invention, which pretty much sums up the whole enterprise.

    Hit and Runway
    Crams more subplots, minor characters and comic situations into 100 minutes than most sitcoms burn through in an entire season. And that's not necessarily a good thing.
  14. The Mexican
    Apparently intended as a larky, character-driven adventure with dark underpinnings, this attenuated road movie was originally envisioned as a vehicle for relative unknowns, and might have worked better that way.
  15. 3000 Miles to Graceland
    This coarse, nearly incoherent action picture apparently aspires to a 'Pulp Fiction"-like mixture of brutality and self-referential insouciance.
  16. Monkeybone
    A fairly serious psychodrama rendered in cartoon images.

    Last Resort
    Sweet, melancholy comedy; it's ineffable charm lies entirely in the delivery.

    Southern Comfort
    Fascinating documentary.
  19. The Widow of Saint-Pierre
    A genuinely heartbreaking, romantic film based on a true story; frankly, if it doesn't make you cry, we don't want to know you.

    Rhythm 'n' Bayous: A Road Map to Louisiana Music
    A light, entertaining musical travelogue down the highways and byways of the Pelican State: taping performances, interviewing a few legends and dropping in on various musicologists for a little historical perspective.

    Yom Yom
    The wonderfully drawn characters and their soap-opera entanglements are dryly amusing and well played.

    The Price of Milk
    Easily one of the oddest romantic comedies since "My New Gun." It's also one of the most visually inventive, and if its charms very nearly defy description, it's nonetheless irresistible.
  23. Down to Earth
    Not funny at all.
  24. Company Man
    The script, by co-writers and -directors Douglas McGrath and Peter Askin, is intermittently clever, but their direction is leaden and assassinates every gag with a lethal accuracy the CIA could only hope to achieve.
  25. Recess: School's Out
    The movie's uninspired animation (including primitive, blocky computer imagery) doesn't help, nor do its astonishingly stereotyped characters.
  26. Sweet November
    This whimsical weeper gets off to an awkward start and never finds its footing.
  27. The Taste of Others
    A huge hit in France, this ensemble drama revolves around two very different social groups whose encounters with each other change several lives in surprising ways.

    Journey to the Sun
    Fictional but frighteningly realistic.
  29. Signs & Wonders
    Spare and coolly evocative, it's a chilling accomplishment.
  30. Love, Honor and Obey
    The result is sometimes strained, but often fresh and funny. And the sequence in which the entire cast sings "Avenues and Alleyways," bombastic '70s crooner Tony Christie's lush ode to thug life, is worth the price of admission in itself.
