Slant has good lists to read, though I haven't yet.

Here's all I can recall seeing for movies that came out this year, in order of what I liked the best, I guess
Clerks 2, I've moved on from being in love with Kevin Smith, so I wasn't in a big fanboy mood when I saw it. It was hysterical, but more than that it brought me back to that love, and it was really moving.
The Science of Sleep, great filmmaking, and the story secretly broke my heart. I can't wait to see it again.
Volver, this was a really nice movie. A lot of the humor comes from the culture that I'm not a part of, so I didn't get a lot of what a lot of other people I saw it with got, but it was a lot of fun, and Penelope Cruz has never been more gorgeous....at least from what I've seen her in.
Click, I love Adam Sandler, he brings warmth and life appreciation to every movie he's in, still this movie went far beyond where I was expecting it to go, and of all his Adam Sandler movies, this is his most epic, or this is his epic.
Wassup Rockers, this doesn't really count as it came out last year, but it didn't have much of a release, and it just came out on dvd. This is from Larry Clark, of Kids, Bully, and Ken Park. Wassup is in line with Clark's other films, though here it's more a depiction of the sweet side of these kinds of kids. It also turns into a Warriors remake, is loads of fun.
Final Destination 3, the first was surprisingly great, tarrifying and moving, the second was nasty dark fun, and the third is a little bit less, just more sick creative ways for people to die in freak accidents. I had fun watching it.

I'm entertained, but I'd rather be enlightened.
