1. Broken Flowers - Bill Murray has gradually evolved from dependable comedian to one of our finest dramatic actors. Jim Jarmusch's middle-age character study is more proof.
2. The 40-Year-Old Virgin - Perhaps now everyone will realize that Steve Carell (The Daily Show, The Office) is the funniest man working in show business today.
3. March of the Penguins - Morgan Freeman narrates an amusing documentary about the mating habits of emperor penguins at the South Pole.
4. Mysterious Skin - Filmmaker Gregg Araki's latest homoerotic drama is his most polished work, featuring a bold performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a male hustler.
5. Red Eye - Director Wes Craven shapes an economical thriller that doesn't give viewers time to find faults. All that and rising star Rachel McAdams (Mean Girls, The Notebook), too.
