  1. Life and Debt
    After viewing documentarian Stephanie Black's dour exegesis of the wrecked Jamaican economy -- only the most insensitive vacationer will want to set foot anywhere near the resorts and beaches of Montego Bay.
  2. Big Night
    It's the moviegoing equivalent of great eating.
  3. DysFunktional Family
    Wickedly funny.
  4. The Guys
    This is a superb theatrical situation, and you have two great performers doing the emoting.
  5. In Too Deep
    Has a gritty authenticity to it … captures the spectacularly crazed quality of urban violence.
  6. Beautiful Creatures
    Wonderfully empowering to watch Petula and Dorothy turn the tables on their testosterone-crazed tormentors.
  7. The Luzhin Defence
    Where it succeeds best is not in describing how Luzhin got broken but how love fixed him, albeit temporarily.
  8. A Love Divided
    Stunningly acted by Liam Cunningham and Orla Brady as the Cloneys.
  9. Little Voice
    Little Voice may be more of a confection than a square meal, but it's proof of how good a dish can be when the ingredients are of the highest order.
  10. Sidewalks of New York
    The chatty, romantic roundelay takes a lighthearted look at the misadventures of six in the city.
  11. In July
    Unabashedly, un-graphically romantic.
  12. Scratch
    Engrossing and infectiously enthusiastic documentary.
  13. The Emperor's New Clothes
    Engaging, witty and touching film, one that defies categories to become a romantic comedy, historical biopic and philosophical rumination, all in one.

  14. Lovely & Amazing
    Warmhearted and slightly edgy seriocomedy, these sisters experience some pretty entertaining ups and downs. Entertaining, that is, for people who appreciate irony.
  15. Shanghai Ghetto
    A touching documentary.
  16. Le bossu
    Great sword fights, great acting, fabulous sword fights and, of course, really cool sword fights.
  17. Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams
    The Cortez family flies into action with the same testy family dynamics, silly humor and cool gadgetry that animated the first Spy Kids.
  18. Comedian
    What begins as an indulgent vanity piece (Seinfeld was a producer of the film) ends up as a fascinating portrait of creativity at its most compulsive.
  19. Evelyn
    It's full of good heart, and you can't help but like its unequivocal sentimentality.
  20. Red Satin
    Although the movie is slow-going at first, it gradually awakens, like Lilia. And then it dances.
  21. Murder by Numbers
    Turns potentially forgettable formula into something strangely diverting.
  22. Judy Berlin
    Something to get excited about.
  23. The Cockettes
    An absorbing primer in one of the most fascinating chapters in American social history.
  24. Blow Dry
    It's fun. Hey, it's almost spring, Rickman is fabulous and so is Richardson. Warren Clarke is continually funny. And Heidi Klum alone will melt the snows of yesteryear.
  25. When Brendan Met Trudy
    An Irish lark that blows in, trailing daffodils and the sniff of spring, from that adventurous releasing company Shooting Gallery Films.
  26. Southpaw
    If Southpaw leaves you hungry, this much is also true: The "food" was good in the first place.
  27. Greenfingers
    Big muscular guys pruning roses IS funny and charming.
  28. Innocence
    A film that's tender and disarming for its intimate honesty. It's also deeply refreshing to see a movie that dares to explore sexuality among mature characters.
  29. Grateful Dawg
    Think of this movie as a glorified home video rather than a bitingly insightful documentary. But for Garcia and Grisman, this soft-shoe approach couldn't be more appropriate.
  30. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    A portrait of a hero.
