  1. Best in Show
    He's (Willard) a one-man storm of escalating inanity, and he's hilarious.
    • Boston Globe
  2. The Tavern
    A steadily engaging and winningly humane film that loves its characters.
    • Boston Globe
  3. The Fantasticks
    Although dated, it's not a bad musical.
    • Boston Globe
  4. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Awful in ways that are just clever enough often enough to make it intermittently watchable.
  5. Woman on Top
    A romantic fairy tale that's light and in several ways seductive, if not exactly filling.
  6. Dancer in the Dark
    Leaves you questioning its intentions.
    • Boston Globe
  7. 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
  8. A Piece of Eden
    The kind of heartwarming, well-intentioned film many audiences claim they want to see at their local theaters.
  9. Duets
    Hits mostly flat notes, then a few really sour ones.
    • Boston Globe
  10. Urbania
    It plays like Scorsese's ``After Hours,'' but for higher stakes.
  11. Human Resources
    Terrific French film about that most universal of subjects - work.
  12. Goya in Bordeaux
    Rich as it looks, it lacks the feverishness of Goya's art.
  13. Bait
    Bait ends up seeming pretty wormy.
    • Boston Globe
  14. 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
  15. The Watcher
    Isn't even worth a glance.
  16. Nurse Betty
    It's lively, edgy, full of zigs and zags, juicy performances, and offbeat fun.
  17. The Way of the Gun
    Sometimes trips over its own contrivance, especially at the ammo-ridden end.
  18. Highlander: Endgame
    Offers some entertaining moments now and then in its relatively short running time.
    • Boston Globe
  19. Whipped
    A crass, witless knockoff of better films.
    • Boston Globe
  20. Titanic Town
    Mother's peace crusade ennobles Irish Town.
  21. Dark Days
    Engrossing and eye-opening in several respects and even, when you least expect it, humorous.
    • Boston Globe
  22. God's Army
    In its zeal to counter the negativity usually found in depictions of Mormons, God's Army eventually succumbs to overearnestness, sentimentality, and cliche.
    • Boston Globe
    • 52 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Orfeu
    A heady, sometimes blurry combination of fable, legend, and social-political commentary.
    • Boston Globe
  24. Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    The sweetly enticing Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire repays the bit of patience it asks.
    • Boston Globe
  25. The Crew
    Dogged allegiance to blandness.
    • Boston Globe
  26. Solomon & Gaenor
    It takes us nowhere we haven't been before, except geographically.
  27. Love & Sex
    Brightly sidesteps the cliches that cling to the genre like barnacles and reinvents a lot of the old moves.
  28. Bring It On
    She's (Dunst) the big reason the film rises above instantly rejectable formula to campy pop.
    • Boston Globe
  29. Place Vendôme
    It's rare that a crime movie achieves such emotional complexity, but this one is smartly layered.
    • Boston Globe
  30. The Cell
    Many of the film's images will prove more than some viewers can take.
