  1. Love and Other Drugs
    Two very good looking people play two offbeat and abrasively charming lovers in Love & Other Drugs. And when your screen romance is as sexual as this one, it helps if your stars are about as good looking with their clothes off as human beings get.
  2. Unstoppable
    this is a straight-ahead ticking clock thriller, with the usual Tony S. trademarks - punchy dialogue and men doing what needs to be done.
  3. Due Date
    Shockingly, it's funny. Often in shocking or at least wildly inappropriate ways.
  4. True Grit
    Matt Damon is an interesting, chatty choice to play Laboeuf.
  5. Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
    You'd better watch out. You'd better not swear. Have a gun handy, loaded for bear. Santa Claus is coming…to Finland.
  6. Blue Valentine
    It's a gritty, almost ugly to look at film, and Cianfrance isn't shy about including a random blast of unwarranted shaky footage.
  7. Four Lions
    Its chilling third act suggests that sooner or later, even these riders on the Islamic short bus are going to get one right. And that won't be funny at all.
  8. Made in Dagenham
    One of the most entertaining history lessons you could ever hope to sit through.
  9. My Dog Tulip
    A wonderful movie anyone who's ever experienced dog ownership at its most glorious, and most embarrassing.
  10. No Strings Attached
    It's a movie benefiting from another sparkling, sexy and emotionally available performance by Natalie Portman.
  11. The Way Back
    An entertaining old-fashioned prison escape movie with a touch of the epic about it.
  12. Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1
    The lack of dramatic tension that knowing the ending before you being creates isn't a huge drawback.
  13. Another Year
    In Mary, Leigh has found the polar opposite of Sally Hawkin's giggle-through-the-pain heroine of "Happy-Go-Lucky."
  14. The Illusionist
    Like Tati himself, The Illusionist feels like a relic of a different time.
  15. Beastly
    Witty, warm, well-cast and often wickedly funny.
  16. Cedar Rapids
    It's a farce with sexual come-ons and actual sex - the Boy Scout Tim's first encounter with a hooker and a crack pipe - but Cedar Rapids never loses track of the humanity of its characters.
  17. The Lincoln Lawyer
    Populated with a peerless supporting cast, actors who bring just the right history to their roles.
  18. Happythankyoumoreplease
    Less mopey and downbeat than TV star Zach Braff's "Garden State." But it succeeds in many of the same sweet ways and is similar enough to warrant labeling Radnor "Zach Braff: The Next Generation."
  19. Insidious
    The spookiest and most entertaining horror flick since "Paranormal Activity."
  20. The Last Lions
    It's a vivid, blunt and candid look at their kill-or-be-killed existence, which Joubert writes and Irons narrates is "the eternal dance of Africa."
  21. Source Code
    Duncan Jones, director of the very fine and very paranoid "Moon," makes this seemingly silly situation work, building tension over 93 minutes.
  22. The Elephant in the Living Room
    The Elephant in the Living Room is damning, but also very sad. These stories, as Harrison points out, never have a happy ending.
  23. Born to Be Wild
    Best taken as the perfect film to transition your kids from animation to live action fare – short, sweet, and educational.
  24. Of Gods and Men
    A quietly compelling if not particularly emotional and sober-minded treatment of an infamous incident.
  25. The Conspirator
    May not be as emotionally compelling as John Ford's work ("The Prisoner of Shark Island"), but it's every bit as meticulously crafted.
  26. 13 Assassins
    13 Assassins is entirely too long and too talky. But the cat-and-mouse game of strategy, figuring out when and where to ambush the evil overlord's entourage, is fascinating.
  27. Winter in Wartime
    It's a sturdy World War II yarn, with harrowing and heart-breaking moments sprinkled throughout.
  28. Thor
    Has a lot of that winking wit we've come to expect from our post-"Spider Man" Marvel movies. It has a hunky, self-mocking young star, solid support from a couple of Oscar winners and the slick sheen that state-of-the-art effects can give you.
  29. Potiche
    The daft feather-light French farce Potiche is a period piece designed to remind us of just how far and how fast women have come in the Western world.
  30. POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
    Greatest Movie isn't Spurlock's best. It plays like an overlong, overly cutesy TV news report (woman and man on street interviews included) on product placement.
