  1. Five Minutes of Heaven
    A forceful Neeson and an even more intense Nesbitt (Bloody Sunday) both show their stuff and obscure the unrelieved pain endured by the men they portray.
  2. Taking Woodstock
    Lee captures the fractious, joyful, monstrously evolving mass it all was.
  3. Paris
    There are too many secondhand characters roving through Paris.
  4. Motherhood
    Parenthood seems only half aware of Eliza's REAL problem: that she thinks she's superior to the choices she's made.
  5. The Yellow Handkerchief
    Here the fascination is Hurt, so deft at steering his character away from booby-trap clichés that he guides his young costars safely out of sap's way and brightens an otherwise very yellowed tale.
  6. The Runaways
    The most entertaining thing about The Runaways, a highly watchable if mostly run-of-the-mill group biopic, is that its writer-director, Floria Sigismondi, has a sixth sense for how the Runaways were bad-angel icons first and a rock & roll band second.
  7. Clash of the Titans
    As Zeus, Liam Neeson twinkles where Laurence Olivier kvetched, and Ralph Fiennes, as Zeus' dark brother Hades (who has egged on the revolt to challenge Zeus), has a slinky nastiness.
  8. Invincible
    Half-baked Herzog, though it has twinkles of theatrical purity that remind you of when his vision was grand.
  9. Cradle 2 the Grave
    By the time Li enters the obligatory ''ring of fire'' to face his final opponent, you realize just how forthrightly rote and businesslike ''Cradle'' is. And you don't mind. Because business, it turns out, is good.
  10. The Weight of Water
    In the heaving cross-century swirl of the climax, ''Weight'' makes its point: Jealousy is timeless; Hurley is not.
  11. Divine Intervention
    Too fragmented to be much more than a flip of the finger to history; the movie, with its mostly mute characters, is too content to plod.
  12. Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie
    Bouncy animation and catchy songs keep the film from tasting too much like spinach.
  13. The Wild Thornberrys Movie
    An average kid-empowerment fantasy with slightly above-average brains.
  14. DysFunktional Family
    That Griffin tells some of the most intolerant jokes since Andrew Dice Clay should hardly obscure his talent, even if it does tarnish it.
  15. The Guys
    A small, heartfelt film.
  16. Where the Money Is
    I don't know that Where the Money Is would work at all were it not for what we, the audience, bring into the theater.
  17. Splendor
    It gradually loses wattage. Robertson, however, is a real sparkler.
  18. 42: Forty Two Up
    It would be tempting to describe the Up movies as a miracle in the history of nonfiction filmmaking, if they didn't also represent one of the cinema's most singularly squandered opportunities.
  19. Evelyn
    Stephen Rea, Aidan Quinn, and Alan Bates play Desmond's legal eagles, and when joined by Brosnan, the sight of this grandiloquent quartet lolling in pretty Irish settings is a pleasant enough thing, 'tis.
  20. The Brothers McMullen
    The romantic troubles of three Irish-Catholic brothers on Long Island don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
  21. Exit Wounds
    In its low grade way, this blithely brutal cops and drugs thriller is an efficient hot wire entertainment.
  22. Sugar Town
    That durable, sexy powerhouse Beverly D'Angelo steals every scene she's in.
  23. Onegin
    Tatyana, the embodiment of a heroine whose still waters run deep, requires more maturity than Tyler as yet possesses.
  24. Romeo Must Die
    Doesn't take advantage of its own possibilities, either as a hard-boiled gangland battle or as a soft-boiled, interracial Shakespearean love story.
  25. Solas
    After all of its sadness, a tender redemptive glow.
  26. The Real Cancun
    It's just a camcorder soap opera of packaged hormonal fervor -- ''The Real World'' with extra tequila body shots.
  27. Harrison's Flowers
    A chintzy melodrama gussied up as hair-trigger combat ''reality,'' but there's no denying the vividness with which the French cowriter-director Elie Chouraqui has visualized the chaos of Croatia.
  28. The Skulls
    Antielitist, anti-hypocrisy, pro-feel-good entertainment.
  29. The Trials of Henry Kissinger
    Watching this film, one is left with the inescapable conclusion that Hitchens' obsession with Kissinger is, at bottom, a sophisticated flower child's desire to purge the world of the tooth and claw of human power. The movie isn't, finally, an argument. It's a long angry ''Boo!''
  30. The Caveman's Valentine
    There is pleasure in giving oneself up to the gusty swirls of the film's imagery, and especially to the handsome grandeur of its star.
