  1. Agnes Browne
    A pleasant little confection that leaves behind the sneaking suspicion it should have amounted to so much more.
    • Baltimore Sun
  2. The End of the Affair
    Read like a long, anguished prayer, but on screen it looks an awful lot like blasphemy.
    • Baltimore Sun
  3. Holy Smoke
    A quirky and satisfying love story.
    • Baltimore Sun
  4. Sweet and Lowdown
    (Penn)'s is a lovely, soulful performance in a movie that manages to imbue tragedy with just the right grace note of insouciance -- a movie worthy of Woody Allen himself.
  5. Tumbleweeds
    McTeer delivers a messily cheerful performance as a woman who thinks nothing of brushing her teeth with beer.
  6. End of Days
    Idiotic, ugly and ridiculous.
    • Baltimore Sun
  7. Toy Story 2
    Prove(s) once again how ingenious, artful and flat-out entertaining animation can be.
  8. Flawless
    It's obvious and stereotypical. It's leaden and unconvincing. It's not nearly as outrageous as it thinks it is.
    • Baltimore Sun
  9. The World Is Not Enough
    The movie's already peaked, even before the opening credits.
  10. Sleepy Hollow
    An uneven, if lively, diversion.
  11. All About My Mother
    Almodovar has created an ecstatic homage to the women who have inspired him all his life.
    • Baltimore Sun
  12. Mansfield Park
    A thoughtful, engaging film.
  13. Liberty Heights
    Well worth the wait.
  14. 42: Forty Two Up
    Offers a welcome continuation of what has proven a fascinating journey both for the film's 11 subjects (three of the 14 opted out of the project this go-round) and its audience.
    • Baltimore Sun
  15. Dogma
    Suffused with a sophomoric sensibility that belies its more serious underpinnings.
    • Baltimore Sun
  16. Felicia's Journey
    Compulsion, self-deception and the slippery nature of evil are explored with fidelity and supreme control .
    • Baltimore Sun
  17. Anywhere But Here
    A quietly resonant movie about the painful alliance between single mothers and their daughters, and the complicated drama of separation.
    • Baltimore Sun
  18. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    The story's more sober elements are regularly leavened by hip visual flourishes and even some quiet comedy.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Light It Up
    Much of Light It Up has a familiar feel. But there are enough redeeming insights to make the time you spend at this school worthwhile.
  20. Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back!
    With its incomprehensible plot, flat visual style and indecipherably mixed messages (violence is good; no, wait, violence is bad!), this movie seems chiefly to be an excuse to sell even more trading cards.
  21. The Bachelor
    Cheerful and unpretentious.
    • Baltimore Sun
  22. The Insider
    Tells an important story about a story that might never have been told at all.
  23. Mein liebster Feind - Klaus Kinski
    Absorbing, artfully executed.
  24. American Movie
    A revealing, intimate, quirky and generous portrait of nothing less than the American Dream.
    • Baltimore Sun
  25. The Legend of 1900
    There's a ton of joy in The Legend of 1900 -- but it's laid on so thick that one ends up more numbed than stirred, overcome by one too many Hallmark moments.
    • Baltimore Sun
  26. Music of the Heart
    Tear-inducing feel-gooder that only a curmudgeon could find fault with.
  27. Being John Malkovich
    This smart, fanciful and brilliantly staged comedy takes a truly one-of-a-kind premise and makes it, of all things, a weirdly profound meditation on consciousness, identity, fame, gender and reality.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 36 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Three to Tango
    So much of Three to Tango is calculated to push the proper emotional buttons that it's ultimately unsatisfying.
  29. Body Shots
    All the young talent in Hollywood is not enough to energize a movie that takes forever to get nowhere.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Best Man
    Say 'I do' to Best Man.
    • Baltimore Sun
