  1. L.A. Confidential
    A glamorous, alluring entertainment that revels in the artifice of Hollywood while exposing its corrupt heart, L.A. Confidential pays stylish homage to some of the great film noirs of the distant and recent past.
  2. The Net
    It's exciting and satisfying, even if the chief villain isn't terribly original and the chase scenes are overlong. Bullock is plucky and believable as an average person who must marshal her strength and smarts to get her life back.
  3. One Hour Photo
    Romanek does such a nice job of calibrating his film's squirm factor, it's possible to overlook some flaws that would sink a lesser film.

  4. After the Wedding
    Those willing to overlook its emotional grandstanding will find much to admire and even more to think about in this Oscar-nominated Danish drama.
  5. X-Men
    X-Men flies to the rescue with superheroes who have real substance.
  6. Owning Mahowny
    This may be the quietest addict ever to hit movie screens, as well the most disturbing.
  7. The Incredible Hulk
    Luckily, the new The Incredible Hulk is more like those 80-page special issues that comic-book publishers sold in the early 1960s for a quarter, packed with old, favorite story lines.
  8. Undercover Brother
    It has a premise that never stops percolating.
    • Baltimore Sun
  9. The Rundown
    An action-adventure flick that could turn into this generation's "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
  10. Serenity
    Serenity may be short on exposition, but it's smart and fun.
  11. Max
    The result is suitably upsetting and intriguing, despite a simultaneously tacky and too-neat climax.
  12. Shaun of the Dead
    Offers a welcome riff on a well-worn horror standard.
  13. The Fugitive
    The Fugitive runs hard and true the whole way through.
  14. Get on the Bus
    Whatever its flaws, Get on the Bus is fairly electric with hope and anger. [16 Oct 1996]

  15. Hellboy II: The Golden Army
    Del Toro stuffs the film with wit and wonderments. Yet, coming out this superhero summer, it plays like a lovingly crafted synthesis of every fantasy saga we've seen in the past decade.
  16. Kadosh
    A wonderfully understated work offering insights to a world where no emotion is simple.
  17. The Namesake
    Making you feel the presence of absences - of the distant and the departed, of dreams that never quite come true - is the key thing that this uneven film gets exactly right.
  18. Superbad
    The movie is best when everything is up in the air.
  19. The Secret of the Grain
    The movie is a parable of patriarchal pride as well as a paradigm of how immigrant groups can accomplish goals without any help from their host culture.
  20. Under the Sand
    Rampling's authority over splintered emotions has the force of revelation.
  21. My Dog Skip
    Romantically nostalgic, a love letter to growing up in simpler times.
  22. The Valet
    The original French title is "La Doublure," but The Valet fits Veber. He has become a one-man service industry when it comes to spreading Gallic barbed humor and good cheer.
  23. Eight Below
    The determinedly cynical needn't bother, but just about everyone else should love Eight Below.
  24. My One and Only
    It's affable entertainment -- a road movie with a smart map and characters who are unpredictable human beings, not just billboard attractions.

    Charlie's Angels
    Irresistible, campy fun.
    • Baltimore Sun
  26. Elegy
    Kingsley dims divine Elegy.
  27. Diamond Men
    This is Forster's show, and he doesn't disappoint.
    • Baltimore Sun
  28. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
    It's a blast!
    • Baltimore Sun
  29. The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
    Rocky and Bullwinkle have not only returned, but they've been placed in the hands of filmmakers who know what they're doing.
    • Baltimore Sun
  30. Treasure Planet
    The Disney cartoon feature Treasure Planet is shot through with ingenuity. It outlandishly, cleverly moves Robert Louis Stevenson's seminal swashbuckler Treasure Island to outer space. The movie's affection for its source may be enough to get youngsters to crack open the original.
