    Spirited Away
    The towering, lost dreaminess at the heart of the film is an unmistakable obsession of this director.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
    The playful spookiness of Mr. Jackson's direction provides a lively, light touch, a gesture that doesn't normally come to mind when Tolkien's name is mentioned.

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    This angular and intelligent romantic comedy isn't entirely consistent. Even as you laugh, it's a movie you admire more than love.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Elvis Mitchell
    Distant
    Such an accurate depiction of cramped spirits, small-mindedness and men unable to make changes in their lives takes its toll. Distant feels as if it's going nowhere in no particular hurry, and finally leaves us distant from its characters.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Elvis Mitchell
    Minority Report
    Though he can still deliver an amazing scare, Mr. Spielberg's interest now leans more toward exposition rather than the anticipatory. He is explaining the fun away.

    Songs from the Second Floor
    A heartbreakingly thoughtful minor classic, the work of a genuine and singular artist.

    Mysterious Object at Noon
    Mr. Weerasethakul's film is like a piece of chamber music slowly, deftly expanding into a full symphonic movement; to watch it is to enter a fugue state that has the music and rhythms of another culture.
    • 73 Metascore

    The Original Kings of Comedy
    Their comedy gives audiences that have never seen anything like it a hilarious window on a new world.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Elvis Mitchell
    Amélie
    There is no denying that Amélie is, to paraphrase its title, fabulous.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Elvis Mitchell
    Mean Girls
    The director, Mark Waters, working with a smart casting team, has assembled a superb group of players. Scene by scene you can't help being impressed by Mean Girls; it's like a group of sketches linked by a theme, with some playing much better than others.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Elvis Mitchell
    Ali
    We see the movie levitate when Ali and Brown chant, "Float like a butterfly," the slogan that takes on a different meaning in each context, starting off as hopeful and spry, finally becoming rueful and pointed. When the film pulls off moments like these, it's breathtaking -- a near great movie.
