    O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    The risk pays off for Clooney and the Coens, as O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a nicely off-kilter exploration of American gumption.

    Startup.com
    The result is a movie that turns the financial phenomenon of Web startups -- the crazy kids with ideas, and the crazier bankers with more money than sense -- into a moving human drama.

    A Simple Plan
    What makes A Simple Plan an exciting, thoughtful thriller isn't the plot twists, but the twists and turns of Hank's tortured conscience as one lie leads to bigger and deadlier deceits.

    Bring It On
    The most exuberantly funny and smartest teen movie this summer, which is something to cheer about.

    Adorenarin doraibu
    A kicky little comedy that shows Quentin Tarantino's influence is alive and well in Japan.

    Cast Away
    Hanks gives possibly the most compelling performance of his career.

    Romeo Must Die
    The gravity-defying harness maneuvers popularized in the U.S. with "The Matrix" -- ... look really cool, but seem out of place in a realistic gang-style action movie.

    The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    While The Messenger feeds our appetite for visual panache, it starves the soul.

    Gladiator
    The warm humanizing element in all the cool stuff is Crowe.

    The Matrix
    Aerves up so much visual wizardry and thought-provoking ideas that even the inevitable Silver touch -- a finale with more bullets than the opening of "Saving Private Ryan" -- can't destroy the magic.

    Love & Basketball
    It's Lathan -- with her passionate performance, physical grace and drop-dead-gorgeous looks -- who makes Love and Basketball so entertaining.

    In Too Deep
    LL Cool J... is downright scary -- a mix of coiled charm and underlying menace.

    My Best Friend's Wedding
    Best of all are the supporting players. Everett (who played the Prince of Wales in "The Madness of King George") is smartly urbane, giving a polished refinement to the stereotypical "gay best buddy'' role.

    Chasing Amy
    What Smith does best in Chasing Amy is write clever, raunchy and emotionally true-to-life dialogue.

    My Dog Skip
    But it's the boy and the dog who make My Dog Skip resonate. The formula may be an old one, but it's still a good one.

    Pearl Harbor
    Parts of this three-hour World War II epic are brilliant -- especially the 40-minute sequence in which the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is stunningly re-created.

    The World Is Not Enough
    Isn't quite enough to save the Bond franchise -- but it does prove that 007 is Y2K-compliant.

    Stuart Little
    The single best thing about Stuart Little is Nathan Lane.

    Braveheart
    Gibson's raw energy and storytelling power in Braveheart are undeniable. If the film doesn't meet his ambitions, it's because he set the bar so high.

    Galaxy Quest
    For fans of science fiction...Galaxy Quest is a sweet, funny valentine to their obsessiveness.

    Pleasantville
    Eventually falls into the same candy-coated trap it's trying to expose. But the fact that a movie can acknowledge the trap exists is a step in the right direction.

    Series 7: The Contenders
    Smith puts the soul in the machine of Series 7, producing an emotional power too real for reality-TV to handle.

    Blue Streak
    A by-the-numbers action-comedy that is greatly enlivened by Lawrence's pugnacious, fast-mouthed style.

    Southpaw
    It's the hardships that led to Atlanta -- and that he faced after -- that make his story so compelling.
