  1. On the Line
    On the Line would like to be ''Serendipity'' for the Oxy-and-Skechers set, but it feels more like the worst movie Michael J. Fox never made.
  2. K-PAX
    I rather like the whole mystic- crystal-revelations aspect of K-PAX, and the idea that even a psychiatrist of Jeff Bridges' handsome, American substantiality is open to notions of cosmic improbability.
  3. Life as a House
    No worse than any disease-of-the-week TV movie, and no more moralistic than any Lifetime drama. But it's no better, either, and it ought to be.

    Thirteen Ghosts
    The result is a Halloween movie in horror limbo.
  5. Ginger Snaps
    A ferocious, funny, gory, and astute Canadian horror parable.
  6. Donnie Darko
    Kelly, the 26-year-old writer-director of this excitingly original indie vision, shares more artistically with Wes Anderson or Paul Thomas Anderson than he does with Spielberg or John Hughes, but the point is, he's out on his own here. He swings big -- with flair.
  7. Bones
    Snoop invests snarling meanness with as much authority as Clint Eastwood used to. As an actor, does this Dogg know any more tricks? At this point, he may not have to.
  8. Trembling Before G-d
    While the compiled testimony is strong, some larger context is missing.
  9. Focus
    Has a topsy-turvy sense of injustice.
  10. Riding in Cars with Boys
    When Barrymore finally gets mean, the movie finally gets good. Then comes another sing-along, dammit.
  11. The Last Castle
    This is, after all, not just Robert Redford. It's Redford in the nobly burnished self-mythologic perfection of his late-middle-aged golden god-ness.
  12. From Hell
    Sensational and accomplished.
  13. Waking Life
    An amazing thing -- a work of cinematic art in which form and structure pursues the logic-defying (parallel) subjects of dreaming and moviegoing.
  14. My First Mister
    Brooks guards the movie from overheating in a surfeit of warmedy.
  15. Iron Monkey
    Gravity-defying kung fu choreography.
  16. Corky Romano
    It might be courting hyperbole to call Corky Romano the single worst movie ever to feature an ''SNL'' cast member (Dan Aykroyd hit some pretty arid valleys), but I'm willing to go out on a critical limb and rank it among the all-time bottom dozen.
  17. Bandits
    A comedy that might have made Butch and Sundance jump off a cliff.
  18. Mulholland Dr.
    Rapt and beautiful and absorbing.
  19. Fat Girl
    With the pitiless, devastating Fat Girl, Catherine Breillat puts men and women, boys and girls on notice: When fantasy, hypocrisy, and manipulation mix in a wet, sandy place, you dive into sex at your own risk.
  20. Joy Ride
    Zigzags across the conventions of genre, occasionally driving on the shoulders of black humor -- it's a road movie for the way we process suspense today.
  21. Serendipity
    Serendipity has no business working, but it does. And by the way, Eugene Levy has no business almost stealing the show, but he does, too.
  22. Training Day
    There's no denying that Washington can play a rococo villain with flip ebullience, but I fervently wish he were doing it in a movie that paid more than lip service to the real world.
  23. Max Keeble's Big Move
    Garish, squeal-pitched preteen comedy.
  24. La Ciénaga
    It sounds churlish to argue that a movie can have too much integrity for its own good, but that's exactly the problem with La Ciénaga.
  25. Va Savoir (Who Knows?)
    It's all very French, very intricate, and -- this is Rivette's magic -- seemingly as light as air.
  26. Hearts in Atlantis
    Too poky and contrived to be a good movie, but its lushly serene atmospherics, given current events, make it a pure slice of sentimental comfort food.
  27. Zoolander
    In theory, Zoolander is ''Pret-à-Porter'' on laughing gas. In practice, however, the movie is an ill-fitting suit of gags, too long in the crotch even at 90 minutes.
  28. Don't Say a Word
    If there's such a thing as joyless competence, it's exemplified by the grimly sensational kidnap thriller Don't Say a Word.
    • 17 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Extreme Days
    One quarter ''True love waits,'' three quarters ''Cowabunga!,'' all pretty clumsy.
  30. Go Tigers!
    Beautifully edited, Go Tigers! is an enthralling look at the drama that can transpire in the autumn of one small town on any given Friday.
