    The End of the Affair
    It's swell when a film really does capture a book in some exactitude.
    • 67 Metascore

    An Ideal Husband
    The film version of this civilized beauty, captures the amusing gloss of the story but not the sense that something grave is going on beneath it all.

    Traffic
    Movie excitement from beginning to end.

    Gladiator
    The heroism and the tigers and the epic grandeur all leave behind the flavor of cynicism.

    Leaving Las Vegas
    Furiously uncompromising, and therefore absolutely alive.

    Finding Forrester
    One of those hybrid projects: a major studio film, big star, homely storyline, but tempered by an indie director working in his own idiosyncratic style.

    Pola X
    I'm not sure how elaborately I could defend Pola X, but I loved watching it.

    Jerry Maguire
    Once again writer-director Cameron Crowe has gotten all the little details just right.

    Ratcatcher
    The bleakness of the material ought to make Ratcatcher a depressing experience, yet Ramsay's power as an image-crafter transforms this grim universe.

    Shower
    There's something thin about the picture-both in its ideas and its visual texture.

    Pollock
    Like other aspects of this film, the image may be a little too perfect, a little too careful.

    Toy Story 2
    Doesn't have the purity, the sense of discovery, of the first Toy Story, but it's still an utter delight. Its images and gags keep replaying themselves in the mind well after the film is over.

    Swingers
    For the most part, a delight.

    Never Been Kissed
    Barrymore's sunny energy pushes the movie along, but halfway through you realize there just isn't that much to push.

    Billy Elliot
    Director Stephen Daldry gets it right.

    Sleepy Hollow
    It is thrilling to look at, and that's more than one can say for the majority of pictures out there.
    • 57 Metascore

    Holy Smoke
    I'm not even sure the movie makes sense at times, yet Campion's offbeat rhythms and eye for startling images always made me happy to be looking at the screen.

    Saving Private Ryan
    A magnificent piece of movie-making.

    Titanic
    Like it or hate it, Titanic lives and breathes as a piece of pure cinema.

    Wonder Boys
    Well-crafted scenes that carry a bracingly grown-up tang: unhurried, played in a low key, with plenty of time to savor the details of character and place.

    The Thomas Crown Affair
    Strangely enough, this movie provides a lot of the James Bond veneer that has been missing from recent James Bond movies.

    The Insider
    It's great that this movie exists.

    Three Kings
    It's like a madly inventive hybrid of "Dr. Strangelove" and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre."

    American Beauty
    If it is never really as profound as it seems to think it is, American Beauty is consistently entertaining, and it earns points simply for acknowledging that all may not be perfect in the current boom years.

    The English Patient
    It's got both the sweeping spectacle and the keen, tactile sense of human intimacy.

    The Truman Show
    A smart, engaging movie.

    Stir of Echoes
    The picture has an appropriately grungy sense of place.

    Up at the Villa
    Scott Thomas and Penn finally develop a bit of unlikely chemistry, aided by the Hitchcockian atmosphere. I found myself rooting for these foolish, pampered, naïve people, and rooting for the movie as well.

    Cecil B. DeMented
    A small, scruffy, but agreeably energized comedy.

    U-571
    Highly enjoyable.
