7. The Artist
Against all odds, a silent and black-and-white crowd pleaser about a fading film star (Jean Dujardin) becomes a modern marvel. Michel Hazanavicius limits himself to the tools of a 1920s filmmaker, stripping away color and sound but unearthing a warm (if slight) story of limitless heart and charm. "On one level, The Artist is a novelty act -- an attempt to resurrect a storytelling method from a bygone era," our critic notes. "But everyone involved is so proficient -- and the cast so enthusiastic -- that it's virtually impossible not to be swept up in the ebullient joy permeating every scene."
