    Being John Malkovich
    Unfortunately, no awards committee is hip enough to praise this strange masterpiece.

    Toy Story 2
    One of those rare sequels that's even better than the original.

    Boys Don't Cry
    It's essentially a play-by-play of events that's so cheaply made it reeks of made-for-TV status.

    The Matrix
    The Wachowski Brothers have created some of the most unrivaled and imaginative sci-fi in years.

    American Beauty
    A dark comical masterpiece that single-handedly announces the collapse of the American family infrastructure as it exists on the brink of Y2K.

    Three Kings
    It's full of energy and drops an emotional bomb with its unexpected tale of reluctant heroes.

    The Blair Witch Project
    The what-you-don't-see element makes this an excellent film for people with overactive imaginations, and if that's you, it will scare the living crap out of you.

    Princess Mononoke
    Like a lot of anime, it's overlong and gets way too metaphysical at the end, but ultimately, this is a Princess worth worshipping.

    The Talented Mr. Ripley
    The talented Mr. Minghella is aping Alfred Hitchcock as effectively as Tom Ripley is doing Dickie Greenleaf.

    The Cider House Rules
    This is a warm, accessible story with delightful characters and a nice metaphor about following your own rules.

    Go
    Manages to present rave youth's on-the-go attitude as well as "Swingers" exposed its hipster culture.

    The Limey
    Soderbergh, like Tarantino, has a knack for making every shady character onscreen fascinating.

    Galaxy Quest
    It seems as if it was made by people who have never actually watched an episode of Star Trek. So all the old poke-fun-at-Trekkies cliches are here.

    Eyes Wide Shut
    It's a mind-blowing game, and all that nonsense about this being an erotic thriller was merely part of Kubrick's game.

    Stir of Echoes
    All that suspense falls dead at its climax, which proves to be a bore. The absence of a surprise ending and the lackluster spooks make this one worth skipping. I'm going back to see "The Sixth Sense."

    The End of the Affair
    Moore and Fiennes both give impassioned, sexy performances.

    Sleepy Hollow
    In between all this head-scratching nonsense, Sleepy Hollow can be fun, usually whenever the Headless Horseman shows up for swordplay that's better than anything in "The Phantom Menace."

    Dogma
    Frequently hilarious, often profound, and occasionally stupid.

    American History X
    What makes this film so powerful is that its unanswered questions force the audience to examine hate and its consequences making American History X one lesson you can't miss.

    Scream 3
    First rule of a film trilogy: Part 3 sucks. See "The Godfather 3,"" Alien 3,"" Jaws 3." Even "Return of the Jedi" was just a rehash of "Star Wars" with muppets. Add Scream 3 to that trend.
