    Bowfinger
    Bowfinger's terrific set-pieces... more than make up for the odd weak moment or thin performance.

    Red Dragon
    It's frightening enough, to be sure, but too often it feels like a well-executed but rote exercise.

    A Trial in Prague
    Powerful, important and refreshingly straightforward documentary.

    Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    So filled with amusing, idiosyncratic touches and unexpectedly charming characters that you mostly don't mind its excesses.

    Such a Long Journey
    An unusually well-written and satisfying multilayered drama that conveys the feel of urban India with more vivid accuracy than anything made in the subcontinent in recent years.

    Sleepy Hollow
    As a horror movie, even one inspired by the kitschy Hammer horror films of the 1950s, it's disappointing.

    Crimson Gold
    Crimson Gold has been likened to an Iranian "Taxi Driver," but it's nothing of the sort, though it is powerful in a quiet, minimalist way.

    Code Unknown: Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys
    The thing that makes Haneke’s Code Unknown so enjoyable and effective is that that he says it in such a wonderfully restrained and light-handed yet suspenseful way.

    Dinner Rush
    A witty, well-acted, visually gorgeous ensemble drama.

    Bombay Eunuch
    The result is a remarkably beguiling documentary, on a number of levels.

    Igby Goes Down
    Culkin is superb - he makes you forget that Igby is a spoiled brat who actually deserves the beating he gets.

    Joe the King
    A poignant, graceful little film.

    Solaris
    So beautifully made (everything in it is understated except the gorgeous good looks of its stars) and turns out to have such real cumulative power that it is worth holding out to the end.

    Waking the Dead
    Structurally flawed, occasionally shlocky, but written with unusual intelligence and subtlety.

    The Day I Became a Woman
    Slight but affecting triptych.

    Billy Elliot
    An uplifting, crowd-pleasing film in the tradition of "The Full Monty" that could easily win Oscar nominations for both its 11-year-old star, Jamie Bell, and first-time director, Stephen Daldry.

    Lovely & Amazing
    The film is almost worth seeing just for the extraordinary scene in which a stark naked Mortimer has her movie star lover (Dermot Mulroney) deliver an exhaustive critique of her body's flaws.

    The Golden Bowl
    But it is Thurman who stands out, with a marvelous, full-blooded performance, her best in some time, as tragic Charlotte.

    The Human Stain
    Though Human Stain is sometimes too chaotic and sometimes too neat, it boasts some of the best acting of the year.

    Sugar Town
    A real pleasure, a sweet, funny, ensemble comedy...utterly authentic.

    Songcatcher
    Essential viewing for anyone who cares about American popular music and its roots.

    Nurse Betty
    This oddly cheerful, decreasingly dark comedy actually works and can boast some of the most enjoyable performances of the year.

    Sweet and Lowdown
    Isn't Allen's finest work by a long shot, but an undeniable part of its fascination is trying to figure out what -- if anything, even unconsciously -- he's trying to say about how he treated Farrow.

    Sobibór, 14 Octobre 1943, 16 heures
    It's a slow, exhaustive and exhausting process that takes a toll on the viewer, despite the intrinsic power of the underlying material.

    Ha-Chaverim Shel Yana
    May well be the first film ever to show people having sex while wearing gas masks.

    Osama
    That it is such a powerful and indeed beautiful film is simply extraordinary.
    • 73 Metascore

    Spider-Man
    Surprisingly charming and even witty match for the best of Hollywood's comic-book adaptations.

    Wonder Boys
    The smartest movie to come out this year, and it could hardly be better cast.
