  1. Guinevere
    While the appeal of Guinevere is decidedly intermittent, it's there, and the acting is right on the money.
  2. Splendor
    Runs out of helium and lands pretty heavily after its airy beginning.
  3. Marcello Mastroianni: I Remember
    A long, warm, satisfying farewell encounter.
  4. Sugar Town
    Likable, but at times it's also inescapably sketchy and ramshackle.
  5. Breakfast of Champions
    Consumerism is running more amok than ever, but this satire of it isn't.
  6. Lucie Aubrac
    Seems so preoccupied with genuflection that it never achieves its subject's heart-pounding immediacy.
  7. Get Bruce
    Captures just enough behind-the-scenes flavor to qualify as a light, bright divertissement.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Blue Streak
    A rather witty, streetwise comedy/action movie with a lot going for it.
  9. For Love of the Game
    After revitalizing baseball movies with "Field of Dreams" and "Bull Durham," he's now three for three with the funny, quirky, rueful, and richly textured For Love of the Game.
  10. Romance
    Lots of sex, but little joy.
  11. American Beauty
    Spacey is diamond-brilliant in a role that plays as if custom-made for him.
  12. The Minus Man
    The sly and subtle Minus Man is a wicked little sidewinder of a black comedy.
  13. Earth
    Hurls its Holocaust at us in a series of justifiably horrific images.
    • 23 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Love Stinks
    It would have done better to go straight to video, where it belongs.
  15. Stigmata
    Could have been a classy thriller. But all the Aramaic in the world can't save it from its own pounding slickness.
  16. Black Cat, White Cat
    The gusto in the flying bullets, the fleeing lovers, and the flowing music will make you want to hang around until the party is over.
  17. All the Little Animals
    Involvingly acted, surehandedly crafted.
  18. Outside Providence
    It's much closer to a European film in sensibility than to one of Hollywood's factory products.
  19. Chill Factor
    Gooding plays the worst role I've ever seen him play in a movie...he perpetuates a kind of black stereotype that should have become history years ago.
  20. The Muse
    The season's brightest piece of counterprogramming.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    A Dog of Flanders
    What a disaster -- a dog.
  22. The 13th Warrior
    About everything is big in The 13th Warrior except the writing, which is microscopic.
    • Boston Globe
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dudley Do-Right
    Never gets horribly bad, but can't sustain its moments of inspiration either.
  24. In Too Deep
    Invigorating excellence.
    • Boston Globe
  25. Mickey Blue Eyes
    It brings an enlivening wit to a comedy of culture collision.
  26. Teaching Mrs. Tingle
    Mostly a screenful of nothingness.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Universal Soldier: The Return
    Devoid of personality and has an annoying gratuitous sentimental streak.
  28. Bowfinger
    Just enough laughs to keep you watching.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Better Than Chocolate
    A semisweet nugget, an insinuating, low-budget little charmer. [27 Aug 1999, p.E4]
    • Boston Globe
  30. Autumn Tale
    Few, if any, films this year will approach, let alone equal, Autumn Tale in its subtle sparkle.
