  1. That's the Way I Like It
    Spins a fairy tale web that is hard to escape.
  2. The Straight Story
    A great, haunting film; it affects us in ways we're not used to...it is capable of both lifting our hearts and chilling us to the bone.
  3. Fight Club
    It's a genuine shocker - a dazzler of a film - a hellishly funny picture.
    • Chicago Tribune
  4. The Grandfather
    At once proudly conservative, passionately idealistic and beautifully assured.
  5. Random Hearts
    It's still strangely remote, only fitfully romantic, never really convincing.
  6. The Limey
    Intoxicatingly well-crafted entertainment about hunting down your enemy.
  7. Beyond the Clouds
    As we watch, we can sense, once again, the eye of a painter, the dreams of a poet and, tying them together, the vision of a master.

    Superstar
    From my vantage point, it doesn't include a single laugh.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Boys Don't Cry
    A stirring, emotionally true testament to foolish bravery as well as shameful evidence of the severity with which it is so often punished.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    Subtle lessons on friendship, materialism and cooperation along with clever touches.
    • Chicago Tribune
  11. Happy, Texas
    Don't expect a lot, and you'll probably enjoy Happy, Texas, as I did -- mostly. At the very least, Steve Zahn will make you laugh.
  12. Mystery, Alaska
    Has the potential to be much more than it is, especially with the collection of able actors on hand.
  13. Plunkett & Macleane
    Scott treats the material as if it were grist for a 30-second spot or a rowdy music video.
  14. Drive Me Crazy
    An innocuous teen film.
    • Chicago Tribune
  15. Three Kings
    A genre movie with an agenda that's too packed. Inevitably, some of the many balls it's juggling get dropped -- (but it's) one of the most entertaining and original actioners in several years.
  16. Divorce Iranian Style
    A highly provocative documentary.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Double Jeopardy
    So nonsensical you don't understand why anyone would actually make it.
  18. Mumford
    On a direct line with the whimsical small-town comedies of the '40s and '50s.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Jakob the Liar
    I never lost awareness that I was watching actors speaking lines, not real people --a problem I didn't have in the more unreal "Life Is Beautiful."
  20. Guinevere
    A shy and depressed college graduate falls in love with a Bohemian artist, as in Woody Allen's "Manhattan."
    • Chicago Tribune
  21. Sugar Town
    Just because it's true to life doesn't mean it can sing.
  22. Romance
    A singularly cheerless trip, explicit but sterile, racy but dull.
  23. For Love of the Game
    Much of this movie seems a crock.
    • Chicago Tribune
  24. Blue Streak
    Offers two or three worthwhile laughs.
  25. Get Bruce
    This one's worth the ticket price only if you are a showbiz-aholic.
    • Chicago Tribune
  26. Lucie Aubrac
    This is one not to be missed.
  27. American Beauty
    I've got to admit it's a stunner.
    • Chicago Tribune
  28. The Minus Man
    Minimalism be damned; even a postmodern noir needs more than Minus Man gives us. So do the actors.
  29. Love Stinks
    Stewart's insistently ironic delivery of every line becomes an irritant in a movie that is already monstrously irritating.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Earth
    An extraordinary movie on many levels.
