  1. Wonder Boys
    An often-wondrous comedy, just as rich and surprising as "L.A. Confidential" but considerably less dark.
  2. Reindeer Games
    This new heist movie by the great thriller director John Frankenheimer flails around like its own dysfunctional gang of casino robbers.
  3. Judy Berlin
    Beautiful little film.
    • Chicago Tribune
  4. Pitch Black
    A rather wan version of "Jurassic Park" - a series of setups featuring humans being picked off by bigger, faster and stronger carnivores.
  5. Hanging Up
    (Matthau's) is a truly magical performance: hilarious, unguarded and deeply touching.

    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    Tells an inspiring story, unknown or forgotten by many, while bringing the past to life and illuminating issues that persist today.
    • Chicago Tribune
  7. The Whole Nine Yards
    Wacky and heartless, bloody and silly -- and it ends in a flourish of grotesque sentimentality.
  8. Not One Less
    A beautiful and genuinely spirit-lifting film about poverty and education.
  9. Boiler Room
    For a movie that begins so intriguingly, Boiler Room becomes boilerplate all too quickly.
    • Chicago Tribune
    • 53 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Tigger Movie
    Disney has reinvigorated the Milne series while staying true both to his and illustrator E.H. Shepherd's original artistic visions.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Snow Day
    Succeeds in bringing the best attributes of Nickelodeon TV to the big screen.
  12. The Beach
    Tries to take us from heaven to hell but winds up leaving us in limbo: exasperated and dumfounded.
    • Chicago Tribune
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Scream 3
    Although Scream 3 is often clever in the way it interweaves the worlds of "Scream," "Stab" and life outside the theater, it's not exactly groundbreaking.
  14. Grizzly Falls
    (Kids) are likely to reject Grizzly Falls as though it were a piece of chewed-over bear fat.
    • Chicago Tribune
  15. Isn't She Great
    A flabbergasting waste of time and talent.
  16. Eye of the Beholder
    Tries to blend old film noir and new high-tech thriller styles with only sporadic impact.
    • Chicago Tribune
  17. Down to You
    Ostensibly a story about first love in college, and I never believed a frame of it.
    • Chicago Tribune
  18. Supernova
    This was a mission that should have been aborted long ago.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    My Dog Skip
    A film that proves even the tiredest genre can be reinvigorated in the right hands.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Next Friday
    Almost comes as a breath of fresh air. Too bad it's so foul.
  21. Fantasia 2000
    Though not as good or as massively innovative as its predecessor, is still a mountainous undertaking.
    • Chicago Tribune
  22. The Hurricane
    Both the movie and Denzel Washington are knockouts.
    • Chicago Tribune
  23. Play It to the Bone
    Fghting your heart out at the end of this movie can't win the prize or the crowd.
  24. Titus
    Once you get used to the broad gestures, visual stylings and reach-for-the-sky emotions, you may find yourself luxuriating in this movie's undeniable grandeur.
  25. Galaxy Quest
    It's a clever premise but not one that lends itself to an hour and 42 minutes of high jinks. You get the joke quickly.
    • Chicago Tribune
  26. The Talented Mr. Ripley
    Minghella's psychological redraft muffles the menace, squanders the tension, throws away the main character and plot engine and turns Ripley into something he never was or should be.
  27. Any Given Sunday
    There's scarcely a scene in which the actors, action and sound track aren't cranked up to maximum intensity.
    • Chicago Tribune
  28. Angela's Ashes
    Haunts the conscience, troubles the spirit.
    • Chicago Tribune
  29. Man on the Moon
    It's not that the movie is bad; it's merely uninspired and relatively clueless about Kaufman.
  30. Snow Falling on Cedars
    Movies made from serious novels are often ridiculed as unworthy of their sources, but this one may be too worthy -- too reverent, too showy, too earnest.
