  1. Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    This sunny ode to brotherhood, made on a tiny budget, goes a fair distance on good vibes.
  2. Vénus beauté (institut)
    Clever and smooth, yet, like Angèle herself (or Nathalie Baye), the film is almost too placid for its own good.
  3. Final
    Did Scott, too, get hooked by the 1998 Spanish film ''Open Your Eyes?'' Intentionally or not, he has made ''Overcast Vanilla Sky.''

    Birthday Girl
    If British writer-director Jez Butterworth had let his sophomore picture get as dirty as Kidman's game recklessness invited -- she started this before ''Moulin Rouge'' and ''The Others'' -- he would have served up a tasty piece of cake.
  5. CQ
    Coppola, who has made clever music videos, including the one for Moby's ''Honey,'' clearly had a lot of fun detailing the mod cheesiness of this intergalactic period piece, though the satire would have been more ticklish if ''Austin Powers'' hadn't gotten there first.
  6. Bad Company
    Joel Schumacher directs with far less fetishism than he might have, while producer Jerry Bruckheimer kicks up only a fraction of the bull dust usually visible in his projects.
  7. All the Little Animals
    Where the movie falters is in sustaining the tricky balance between pastoral life lessons and creepy suspense.
  8. Scotland, Pa.
    Funny? Yes, but in its slapdash way, it sounds nuttier than it plays.
  9. Naqoyqatsi
    If Microsoft and Nike ever merged into one corporate megalith (MicroNike?) and commissioned Leni Riefenstahl to direct its visionary new Super Bowl commercial, the result might look something like Godfrey Reggio's Naqoyqatsi.
  10. Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony
    The songs of the South African freedom fighters were a literal call to arms. The music succeeded -- magnificently. The movie, on the other hand, is only so-so.
  11. Josie and the Pussycats
    The movie's got bounce. Spanked along by a soundtrack that has a surprising punky bite for something aimed at 13-year-olds.
  12. A Housekeeper
    By the end, you may marvel at the film's worldly-wise wink of maturity. You may also think, Is that all?
  13. Edtv
    The fact that Ed's life has been channeled into entertainment never achieves much tension or comic zest. That's because Howard thinks in cookie-cutter ''situations'' to begin with.

    Brotherhood of the Wolf
    This is one of those follies that go beyond pesky, bourgeois notions of ''good'' and ''bad.''
  15. Cookie's Fortune
    In theaters, the lazy haziness of this Southern ensemble comedy made the story feel like it was stuck in the mud.
  16. B. Monkey
    You may roll your eyes a bit at the glib, transparent, indie-grunge romanticism.
  17. The Contender
    Engages in the cinematic equivalent of not inhaling.
  18. Billy Elliot
    Even as the director, Stephen Daldry, places his star front and center, he doesn't know how to highlight him.
  19. Vertical Limit
    By laying on disasters with a trowel, misses the chance to sweep us up into a more elegant fantasy of primitive mountaintop terror.
  20. A Perfect Murder
    I've seen far worse thrillers than A Perfect Murder, but the movie is ultimately more competent than pleasurable.
  21. Finding Forrester
    Highly unoriginal but nevertheless stirring drama.
  22. Fantasia 2000
    Oh well, back to the drawing board.
  23. Happy, Texas
    A comedy of '90s sexual inclusiveness as effervescent as a cold sody pop -- and about as intoxicating.
  24. Last Orders
    The storytelling may be ordinary, but the cast is one of those all-star reunions.
  25. Get Bruce
    An affectionate puff profile.
  26. Hart's War
    It may seem harmless, to some, that our movies have never entirely abandoned the land of Poitier-ville, but as Hart's War demonstrates, it's an insult that they haven't.
    • 50 Metascore

    Blast from the Past
    As pleasantly plastic as its retro-chic sets.
  28. The Third Miracle
    Suggests that finding one good priest is a feasibility, but it takes a miracle to meet one as hubba-hubba as Ed Harris.
  29. Thomas in Love
    The movie, after a while, drifts into an all too literal parable of the limits of never leaving the house.
  30. Legally Blonde
    She may be follically blond, but as an actor of distinction who's all of 25, Reese Witherspoon reveals interesting dark roots even as she plays golden girls.
