  1. The Legend of Bagger Vance
    Though it's sweet and likable to a fault, it's also a movie that never seems heartfelt or deep.
  2. Charlie's Angels
    It's hard to believe how bad this movie is.
    • Chicago Tribune
  3. George Washington
    A picture about America with the blinders off, a film about heroism that makes you chuckle and feel sad - and a film about childhood that lets us reenter that lost world and see the grass, sky and sunlight the way they once looked, in the golden hours.
    • Chicago Tribune
  4. A Room for Romeo Brass
    Offers an honest, understated and unsentimental look at a small incident in the course of a friendship - but it is the kind of incident that defines most childhoods.
  5. Once in the Life
    Strong, hard, dirty, funny, moving atmospheric and laced with scabrously musical street dialogue.
  6. Lucky Numbers
    A comedy of bad manners with many punchy moments and many irritatingly glib ones.
  7. A Time for Drunken Horses
    Showing us a world through a child's eyes, A Time for Drunken Horses speaks so truthfully and well that it breaks the heart and scars the conscience.
  8. Stardom
    This film has so many good ideas, it tends to seem better after you've left the theater. But the mock TV stuff is just too faux to be funny.
    • Chicago Tribune
  9. The Little Vampire
    An odd little ghoul too cleaned up to survive, a bloodless vampire movie that's mostly lifeless as well.
  10. Loving Jezebel
    Run-of-the-mill sitcom-y in its pedestrian writing and uninspired direction.
  11. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    Resembles an old Nine Inch Nails video. Missing from the mix are any characters with whom you'd want to spend one minute around a campfire.
    • Chicago Tribune
  12. Sound and Fury
    By the time the film is over, you may not feel differently about the key issues than you first did, but you will have many more facts (sound) and opinions (fury) to consider.

  13. Bedazzled
    As for Ramis, he's no Stanley Donen. He can make us laugh, but he can't make a movie dance.
    • Chicago Tribune
  14. Calle 54
    Scene after scene in Calle 54 just knocks you out.
    • Chicago Tribune
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Legend of Drunken Master
    Enjoy this rare chance to catch Chan on the big screen at his near-peak mastery.
  16. The Yards
    Shines whenever we see the performances of Phoenix and Caan.
  17. MVP: Most Valuable Primate
    A dull, amateurish mixture of the sentimental and the obvious.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Pay It Forward
    Too high-minded to stoop as low as it does, particularly in its unforgivably manipulative ending.
    • Chicago Tribune
  19. Dr T and the Women
    It's a joy. Altman does Dallas the way he did "Nashville" in Nashville or Hollywood in "The Player."
    • Chicago Tribune
  20. The Ladies Man
    Not without its humorous moments, but they are too few and far between.
  21. Billy Elliot
    A triumph that deserves a broad audience.
    • Chicago Tribune
  22. Just Looking
    A teen comedy wise beyond its years.
  23. Lost Souls
    So filled with illogical twists and ridiculous turns, that eventually it evokes unintentional laughs.
  24. Ratcatcher
    One of the most remarkable English-language feature debuts of recent years.
    • Chicago Tribune
  25. The Contender
    It's an intelligent and informed look at the preposterous ways our leaders are often picked and sabotaged.
    • Chicago Tribune
  26. Two Family House
    Brimming over with affection and humanity, this memory drama about the destruction of one family and the birth of another is nostalgic in a good sense: funny, bittersweet, poignant.
  27. CyberWorld
    Effectively a demo. It doesn't give you the whole picture, but it lets you know what's possible. It's hard not to wish the ride could have lasted longer.
    • Chicago Tribune
  28. Yi Yi
    Great, bittersweet family drama.
  29. Bamboozled
    Starts out hilarious and then turns very, very grim.
    • Chicago Tribune
  30. Meet the Parents
    These two actors have a kind of genius for dark comedy: Stiller for suffering through crises and De Niro for creating them.
