  1. Godzilla 2000
    A ton of fun, and then some.
    • Boston Globe
  2. Steal This Movie
    An earnest but ultimately scattered effort to put Yippie radical Abbie Hoffman's best foot posthumously forward.
  3. The Original Kings of Comedy
    Not only exhilarating and cathartic. It's too funny to be ignored.
  4. The Opportunists
    Goes soft in the end, but not ruinously so. Meanwhile, its loose cannons bounce off one another deliciously.
  5. An Affair of Love
    A bit of a cop-out, wrapping in wistful sentimentality a failure to acknowledge a connection that is more than epidermal.
    • Boston Globe
  6. Autumn in New York
    It is all style and no substance.
    • Boston Globe
  7. Bless the Child
    Causes one to wish... that movies about the supernatural could make contact with supernatural script doctors.
    • Boston Globe
  8. Cecil B. DeMented
    It's the cinematic equivalent of one of those prop guns where you pull the trigger and a little flag comes out of the barrel, waving gaily.
    • Boston Globe
  9. The Replacements
    Any ESPN commercial at all leaves it in the dust when it comes to imaginative firepower.
  10. The Tao of Steve
    One of the year's most winning performances, Logue's Dex will grow on you as he stumbles toward emotional fullness.
  11. The Tic Code
    Reveals real feelings.
  12. Saving Grace
    It's funny and charming most of the time, thanks to Brenda Blethyn.
  13. Psycho Beach Party
    A little Hitchcock and some good Psycho fun at the beach.
  14. Coyote Ugly
    Such an utter piece of fluff so conceptually barren it might as well be a music video.
    • Boston Globe
  15. Hollow Man
    Should have been an inaudible man movie. Every time the characters open their mouths, they hammer it deeper into the ground.
    • Boston Globe
  16. Space Cowboys
    Space Cowboys does achieve liftoff.
  17. Catfish in Black Bean Sauce
    As engaging as it is ungainly and scattered.
    • Boston Globe
  18. Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    There's a whole lotta latex goin' on. The trouble is that not enough else is going on.
  19. Girl on the Bridge
    I'd take a chance on it anyway, even if it stumbles and loses its way.
    • Boston Globe
  20. Wonderland
    Give it a chance and you'll probably share the cast's collective impulse to dive in and embrace it.
  21. The Wind Will Carry Us
    It's a meditation on life and death, but it's less somber and more light-handed, subtle, and mischievously funny.
    • Boston Globe
  22. Thomas and the Magic Railroad
    A train worth catching.
  23. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    A lively and affectionate cross between an infomercial and a genuflection.
    • Boston Globe
  24. Rififi (re-release)
    It's terse, atmospheric, fatalistic, with vertiginous camera angles and edits offsetting its gray documentary flatness.
  25. Alice et Martin
    Richly compelling.
    • Boston Globe
  26. Loser
    Doesn't quite rank with the films that bracket Heckerling's pop-culture high priestess status
  27. Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    2000 isn't about nobility and humility; saving the planet from evil collectors is what sells video games.
  28. What Lies Beneath
    Ford and Pfeiffer deliver craftsmanlike work, but the film steadily unravels as Zemeckis tries to ratchet up the suspense.
  29. The In Crowd
    The moral universe remains unsullied in this lite, lo-cal thriller - the cinematic equivalent of a fizzy summer drink.
    • Boston Globe
  30. Water Drops on Burning Rocks
    The film does not offer an optimistic view of relationships.
    • Boston Globe
