  1. Two Lovers
    The movie's chief value is to preserve Phoenix at the height of his wary physical grace, which recalls a young Marlon Brando.

    Role Models
    You can probably figure out how this is all going to end, but it still has more laughs than you might think. Nobody gets more than the wonderful Jane Lynch as the ex-drug addict and director of the mentoring program.
  3. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    The loudest, flashiest, silliest and longest blockbuster in a summer full of long, silly, flashy, loud blockbusters (long and silly "Transformers," flashy and loud "Wolverine").
  4. The Host
    It's the last thing anyone expected: an old-fashioned monster movie with a heart.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Girlfriend Experience
    The film manages a career-spanning panache: Soderbergh taps into the nervy impulses of his earliest endeavor, "sex, lies and videotape" as well as "Ocean's Eleven." The Girlfriend Experience has something to elevate and exasperate fans of both.

    Humpday
    Delmore, Duplass and Leonard work up a loose-limbed, improvisatory energy, but Humpday radiates with the sheen of a film that has been thought out within an inch of its witty and insightful life.
  7. Death at a Funeral
    Shows us how funny farce can be -- even with the hokiest of premises -- in the hands of the British.
  8. Mindhunters
    Corny? Oh, yeah. But it's also reasonably good fun.
  9. Bride & Prejudice
    A big, sprawling, sweet-natured mishmash with plots upon subplots and enough characters to make the head spin.
  10. Coach Carter
    Covers every cliche in the Hollywood sports movie playbook, but it also makes the routine much more enjoyable than you'd expect.
  11. The Chorus
    Larded over with le fromage, which is to say, French cheese. But as these dairy products go, Christophe Barratier's movie is delectable sentiment. Audiences will crumble into itty-bitty pieces of Roquefort watching this.
  12. Hide and Seek
    As cliche-ridden horror films go, Hide and Seek builds a pretty darn good mousetrap.
  13. Lost Embrace
    Argentine filmmaker Daniel Burman's shaky-camera, cinema-verite-style dramedy meanders in charming fashion.
  14. Rory O'Shea Was Here
    If there's such a thing as freedom for everyone, Rory's determined to give the prospect its most grueling road test.
    • 58 Metascore

    Hitch
    Hitch works best when it's a buddy comedy, with Smith and James having a blast as smooth Yoda and jiggly Jedi.
  16. Inside Deep Throat
    An often lively investigation of the social forces that produced the original movie and made it an unlikely political shibboleth in the ongoing culture wars.
  17. Pooh's Heffalump Movie
    It Works.
  18. Because of Winn-Dixie
    Robb is remarkably assured; there isn't a false note in her performance.
  19. Schultze Gets the Blues
    Schorr's endearing little movie gets under your skin much like the music it celebrates.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Animation Show 2005
    All of the dozen works featured are strong, with even the least engaging of the stories ... being visually compelling.
  21. Dear Frankie
    Within this overly familiar trope, there's plenty of room for small surprises, not the least of which are delightful, understated performances all around.
  22. Gunner Palace
    Do these soldiers make it? We keep watching and waiting. There's not much more to Gunner Palace than that, but it's no different than the soldiers' lot.
  23. Walk on Water
    Fox's film seems to say that the kind of saintly purity that would enable one to walk on water -- or to kill with impunity and without repercussions -- doesn't exist.
  24. Robots
    For audiences simply looking for easy entertainment and some neat-looking robots along the way.
  25. The Upside of Anger
    What's best about "Upside" is its gonzo-sitcom craziness, a situation that lends itself to enjoyable performances.
  26. Off the Map
    A joy to watch.
  27. Ice Princess
    A somewhat formulaic if nevertheless crudely effective manipulation of the figure skating themes that all of us girls love so much.
  28. Mondovino
    A lively, engrossing documentary
  29. D.E.B.S.
    It's so spoofy it's difficult to call 'good' or even 'bad'; just say it's smooth.
  30. Dust to Glory
    It's a fascinating film, but after a while, the digital photography wears out its gritty welcome.
