  7. The Disappearance of Alice Creed
    Dazzling turns by stars Eddie Marsan, Martin Compston and Gemma Arterton; unrelenting suspense; and a wealth of black humor will appeal to an arthouse crowd, though the violence and other unsavory aspects of the story will turn off some.

  9. The Last Exorcism
    It's scary fun and packed with comic bits that skate between sad and absurd like the best of reality TV.

  10. The Social Network
    With a thieves den of borderline-Shakespearian characters, a wickedly literate screenplay, potent direction by David Fincher, an exceptional ensemble cast and subject matter that speaks to a generation and well beyond, The Social Network is mesmerizing.

  11. Undertow
    Sensual and romantic with a heavy dose of the supernatural and populated by indelible characters.
  12. The King's Speech
    The King's Speech is a magnificent movie treat, one of the very best pictures of the year.
  13. Win Win
    A film with a big heart; it's an eccentric dramedy and a crowd pleaser.
  14. Meek's Cutoff
    Epic in scope, and featuring a powerful lead performance by Williams, Reichardt does justice to the myth of the wagon train settlers and makes a Western every bit as beautiful and poetic as Terrence Malick's "Days of Heaven," and thankfully a bit more energetic.
  15. Beginners
    Sweet moments of subtle comedy and straightforward family drama mix perfectly with Mike Mills' trademark artfulness in Beginners.
  16. Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?
    As entertaining as it is educational.
  17. A Better Life
    The timing is right for this remarkable and riveting family drama which puts a human face on the hot-button topic of immigration in such effective and emotional terms that you may never look at the subject in the same way again.
  18. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
    Part II gets everything right to send off Harry on a cinematic high.
  19. Another Earth
    What I can say is if you're flesh and blood, and have ever suffered a substantial loss, you will be moved by Another Earth. And also renewed.
  20. Brighton Rock
    Control's Sam Riley steps into a role made unforgettable by a young Richard Attenborough in the 1947 original and makes it his own, slipping into the character like a second skin.
  21. The Mill and the Cross
    An investigation into Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting "The Way to Calvary," Majewski's film is a stunning piece of art in its own right.
  22. The Descendants
    The Descendants is that rare bird, moving, enlightening, funny and unapologetically human. It's one of the year's best pictures, one to savor and think about.
  23. The Artist
    The film's charm and delight of discovery, plus its sterling international performances, could make it a breakout hit in theaters.
  24. Hugo
    Magical and imaginative, this eye-popping masterpiece from director Martin Scorsese will transport audiences to a place they won't believe.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Critic Score 100
    Kill List
    Kill List is a major breakthrough for writer/director Ben Wheatley, whose assured and painstaking handling of this difficult material makes for an unforgettable viewing experience.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Critic Score 100
    This Is Not a Film
    This Is Not A Film and "A Separation" masterfully show Iranians that are full of the same passions, concerns and desires as the rest of the world-an incredibly important accomplishment now that the drumbeat to war grows louder each day.
  27. Here
    Visually sumptuous and with a real literary beauty in both its narrative structure and dialogue.
  28. Looper
    Director Rian Johnson's resulting film, a cornfield neo-noir, is the coolest, most-confident sci-fi flick since 2006's "Children of Men."
  29. Argo
    If there was any doubt Ben Affleck has turned into an exceptional director, his wildly entertaining, pulse-pounding thriller Argo will handily erase those thoughts.
  30. Alice in Wonderland
    Tim Burton, plus Alice, plus 3D equals an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind movie experience. It will clean up.
