  1. Ratcatcher
    Fresh, original, and arresting.
    • Boston Globe
  2. Taboo
    The intriguing subject, unfortunately, collapses under too many talky scenes of the samurai discussing their feelings and gossiping about who loves whom.
    • Boston Globe
  3. Two Family House
    Worth staying with for the respect it pays to its characters' emotions.
  4. Bamboozled
    Ends with a fizzle, not a bang.
    • Boston Globe
  5. Get Carter
    A sodden-looking film.
    • Boston Globe
  6. Digimon: Digital Monsters
    A video game barely disguised as a movie. Violent, and the monsters are scary for younger children.
    • Boston Globe
  7. Meet the Parents
    Distress of Parents is a real pleasure.
  8. Requiem for a Dream
    It's two hours of slumming in a vision of hell hatched from bourgeois comfort. That, and not its unsavory subject matter, is what makes it bummer theater.
  9. Beautiful
    The tame, confused script eventually sinks the film, although Field shows skill directing actors.
    • Boston Globe
  10. The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy
    It plays like a pilot for what I imagine will be network TV's first all-gay sitcom.
  11. Girlfight
    A terrific little uppercut of a boxing movie and close to a perfect one.
    • Boston Globe
  12. Remember the Titans
    Washington and the others score in this predictable but rousing film where the big victory is over attitudes.
  13. Barenaked in America
    Insights run more along the lines of which ''Sesame Street'' character each of them identifies with.
  14. Best in Show
    He's (Willard) a one-man storm of escalating inanity, and he's hilarious.
    • Boston Globe
  15. The Tavern
    A steadily engaging and winningly humane film that loves its characters.
    • Boston Globe
  16. The Fantasticks
    Although dated, it's not a bad musical.
    • Boston Globe
  17. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Awful in ways that are just clever enough often enough to make it intermittently watchable.
  18. Woman on Top
    A romantic fairy tale that's light and in several ways seductive, if not exactly filling.
  19. Dancer in the Dark
    Leaves you questioning its intentions.
    • Boston Globe
  20. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    Movingly recounts a hitherto untold story in the voices of the people who lived it.
    • Boston Globe
  21. A Piece of Eden
    The kind of heartwarming, well-intentioned film many audiences claim they want to see at their local theaters.
  22. Duets
    Hits mostly flat notes, then a few really sour ones.
    • Boston Globe
  23. Urbania
    It plays like Scorsese's ``After Hours,'' but for higher stakes.
  24. Human Resources
    Terrific French film about that most universal of subjects - work.
  25. Goya in Bordeaux
    Rich as it looks, it lacks the feverishness of Goya's art.
  26. Bait
    Bait ends up seeming pretty wormy.
    • Boston Globe
  27. Almost Famous
    Hollywood filmmaking at its best, brimming over with feeling, texture, spirit, and several kinds of keenness that transmute experience into big pop myth.
    • Boston Globe
  28. The Watcher
    Isn't even worth a glance.
  29. Nurse Betty
    It's lively, edgy, full of zigs and zags, juicy performances, and offbeat fun.
  30. The Way of the Gun
    Sometimes trips over its own contrivance, especially at the ammo-ridden end.
