    Wonderland
    This is a beautiful, surprisingly uplifting movie, made by someone who actually understands people.

    A Hard Day's Night
    Conveys not just a joy in music and The Beatles, but a joy in cinema.

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

    Small Time Crooks
    Feels like a first draft, in need of toning, pruning, and a little old-fashioned discipline. As an outline, the picture is full of possibilities.

    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.

    Traffic
    Movie excitement from beginning to end.

    The Insider
    It's great that this movie exists.

    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.

    Leaving Las Vegas
    Furiously uncompromising, and therefore absolutely alive.

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

    A Simple Plan
    An unleashed Raimi may be a more exciting moviemaker, but there's something to be said for the virtues of a good story well told, which describes A Simple Plan down to its last shivery snowflake.

    In the Company of Men
    One of the best films of the year, a polished, contained piece of provocation.

    The People vs. Larry Flynt
    Forman imbues the material with exactly the right dry, satirical flavor, yet this story is still a Frank Capra little-guy-against-the-system picture.

    The Taste of Others
    The Taste of Others takes regular (but not ordinary) people and knocks them out of their usual zones of activity. The resulting collisions leave behind a very pleasing flavor.

    Best in Show
    Tight and quick-moving, the film scores its points and gets on with it.
    • 77 Metascore

    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.

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

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

    The Talented Mr. Ripley
    May be Hitchcock on holiday, but that's a perfectly enjoyable vacation.

    The Cider House Rules
    Part of the appeal of John Irving's writing is its sense of bounty, the way the world is offered up as a horn of plenty. The Cider House Rules movie, by contrast, feels narrowed down to small slices of experience.

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

    Joe Gould's Secret
    A fitting tribute to an era, a writer, and an unapologetic eccentric.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Robert Horton
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Robert Horton
    Billy Elliot
    Director Stephen Daldry gets it right.

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

    South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut
    The kind of college movie people will be quoting for years.
