  1. Tears of the Sun
    Left wing? Right wing? Center? Who cares, as long as Bruce Willis is saving the world.
  2. Session 9
    A marvel of vérité nightmare atmosphere.
  3. Deep Impact
    Leder establishes a syncopated rhythm unlike anything we're used to in a catastrophe spectacle.
  4. Saved!
    The director-cowriter, Brian Dannelly, has great fun tweaking the way American Christianity has been born again as a commodified, suburbanized, pop-saturated belief system.
  5. Cellular
    Chris Evans is blithely likable despite a few faux-Cruise mannerisms, Basinger makes a vividly frightened yet resourceful woman in peril, and William H. Macy scores as a mild L.A. cop who lets out his inner macho.
  6. Braveheart
    Braveheart features some of the most enthralling combat sequences in years, and the excessive ferocity of the violence is part of the thrill.
  7. Best in Show
    You giggle every so often, but you never give yourself over to the characters.
  8. The Girl Next Door
    "Risky Business" had a great opening act and then descended into contrivances. This genial cardboard knockoff is contrived from the start but gets better as it goes along.
  9. The Hours
    While we can admire their attractive exteriors, we don't know anything about the interior lives of the three women so vibrantly miserable in their unhappiness.
  10. Seven Years in Tibet
    French director Jean-Jacques Annaud, who brought his interest in self-discovery and untamed places to Quest for Fire, The Lover, and the IMAX 3-D film Wings of Courage, is at his best re-creating the serene exoticism of the Dalai Lama's Tibet. But the spark of the holy that the Dalai Lama lights in Harrer flickers only fitfully in all the wind in this production.
  11. Starsky & Hutch
    To turn fondly remembered TV trash into a movie that knows it's cruddy -- and that isn't, therefore, quite as cruddy as it might have been -- takes a perverse pinch of talent, if not style.
  12. Selena
    The best thing going for Selena is Selena herself, played with verve, heart, and a great deal of grace by the increasingly busy Jennifer Lopez (Money Train, Jack, Blood & Wine).
  13. Undertow
    The truth is that Undertow is like a conventional Hollywood movie operating on half its cylinders.
  14. White Oleander
    Impressively unflappable and natural, 23-year-old Lohman -- whose best known credit is perhaps a role on Fox's short-lived ''Pasadena'' -- holds the whole plot together skillfully.
  15. Rush Hour 2
    Coarser, more hectic, more cheaply written sequel.
  16. Everything Put Together
    The movie is ''Rosemary's Suburban Baby'' without a witch in sight.
  17. Monster's Ball
    A traffic map of calls and responses, lessons and homework, wishes and fulfillment. All roads lead to acting-award nominations, but none lead to truth.
  18. The Last Shot
    Teetering on an abyss of meta-wackiness, The Last Shot -- a movie about movie fakery, based on a true story about a fake movie -- succeeds modestly where, by all rights, it should fail miserably.
  19. Big Daddy
    Much of Big Daddy looks like it was made up on the spot, but Sandler, with his bad-dog eagerness to get caught in the act of misbehaving, pulls you through it.
  20. Liberty Heights
    But Levinson's passion to explain how he got from there to ''Sphere'' gives Liberty Heights its own farkatke Hollywood integrity.
  21. Along Came Polly
    Along Came Polly is nothing if not a chick flick for guys.
  22. High Fidelity
    For all its music-trivia affection, High Fidelity is finally a pretty thin melody.
  23. The Patriot
    It's a death-wish revenge thriller posing as a lavishly pastoral historical epic.
  24. The Thin Red Line
    An epic aestheticization of World War II, a movie at once bold and baffling, immediate and abstract.
  25. Dumb and Dumber
    There are limits to how much comic irony can be wrung out of the sight of two grown men acting like complete cretins.
  26. Me, Myself & Irene
    Every instance of gleeful bad taste is timed and positioned for maximum, liberating laugh value.
  27. Hollow Man
    An eminently watchable B-movie nightmare.
  28. Payback
    Payback is a thriller so mean and degraded it carries a low-down, vicious charge. Sadism is its only real subject, and its only real life as well.
  29. The Count of Monte Cristo
    The best thing in The Count of Monte Cristo is Guy Pearce's snot-nosed hauteur. He gives this scoundrel some wounded edges, and frills as well.
  30. The Manson Family
    The film evokes how homicide became the ultimate orgasm for kids who had turned themselves into zombies of flesh.
