    The Legend of Drunken Master
    The film delivers some of the most spectacular and intricately choreographed martial arts fighting ever seen on film.
  2. Calle 54
    The result is total immersion in the moment of the music, sure to send jazz fans over the moon.
  3. Pay It Forward
    At its core, a very manipulative piece of work.
  4. Bedazzled
    Hardly lives up to its name -- bedeviled is more like it.
  5. Just Looking
    Fails to create a seamless and believable web of measured performances and period color.
  6. Cleopatra's Second Husband
    Worth a look.
  7. Lost Souls
    Shamelessly dull.
  8. Dr T and the Women
    The comedy is often harsh and cruel.
  9. The Contender
    A potpourri of issue-oriented drama enlivened by superlative performances and smart dialogue.
  10. The Ladies Man
    One of the most deadly dull "SNL" spinoffs.
  11. Ratcatcher
    An inner-city tragedy that plays its story simply, sorrowfully, and beautifully.
  12. One
    All in all, this is perhaps one of those films you applaud more for design than execution while hoping at the same time that its boundary-testing restlessness becomes more widely influential.
  13. Taboo
    Bizarre, even darkly comic at times. But it's also elegant and mannered.
  14. Mercy Streets
    Like "Reservoir Dogs" by way of Ned Flanders, Mercy Streets is as earnest as Vacation Bible School and somewhat more cinematic.
  15. Two Family House
    It's all about the little things, and the way in which the little things can steal into your heart in big ways.
  16. Bamboozled
    Too much is tossed into the ring and the last hour becomes a frantic swell of emotions and ideas, not all of which are exactly on point.
  17. Get Carter
    The film itself is a muddle, all rapid-fire step-edits and grainy, blue-filtered hokum. What is good is Stallone.
  18. Bootmen
    It delivers commendable entertainment value.
  19. Digimon: Digital Monsters
    Shoddy, brainless, pre-sold kids' entertainment.
  20. Yi Yi
    Capturing the nuances of quotidian life may not be everyone's cup of tea.
  21. Meet the Parents
    Ultimately passable movie entertainment, but like most future in-laws leaves a feeling of something still desired.
  22. Requiem for a Dream
    Haunts the memory long after you've left the theatre.
  23. Beautiful
    A tone-deaf dramedy whose need to please is a pain in the neck.
  24. The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy
    Funny and friendly and all-inclusive and unremarkable.
  25. Girlfight
    A rousing, girl-positive, indie success story whose dynamic rhythms deliver a connecting punch.
  26. Remember the Titans
    Falls short of both the social history lesson it so pointedly strives to impart and the sport it so roughly embraces.
  27. Barenaked in America
    Makes for a playfully enthralling hour and a half.
  28. Best in Show
    Sublimely ridiculous film.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The Fantasticks
    It has that bygone style, in which impossibly innocent ingenues suddenly break into blissfully tuneful song.
  30. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Simply a lousy film from start to finish.
