  1. The Family Man
    Schlock weeper.
  2. Finding Forrester
    Highly unoriginal but nevertheless stirring drama.
  3. The Gift
    It's got the pleasing proportions of a stocking stuffed with agreeable little treats in the absence of an exciting big surprise.
  4. Pollock
    For all the praise that has been heaped upon it, is a quasisatisfying, half realized vision.
  5. The Visit
    This very earnestly American prison gives off an unusually mellow European air.
  6. The Emperor's New Groove
    Hip, funny, mostly nonmusical, decidedly non- epic family picture.
  7. What Women Want
    Gibson, in a disarmingly nimble, fast break performance, makes Nick's new hyperempathy look like the essence of virile panache.
  8. Dude, Where's My Car?
    The definition of aiming low is when the John Hughes film you're ripping off is ''Weird Science."

  9. Chocolat
    It's as agreeably sweet as advertised, with a particularly yummy performance by Juliette Binoche.
  10. 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.
  11. Dungeons & Dragons
    Malty brew of heroics and minutiae.
  12. Proof of Life
    When it's dull, which it is too often for a kidnap caper, this movie is about a woman chirping ''notice anything new about my outfit?'' to a man whose idea of style is a jacket not crusted in human blood.
  13. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    Soaring and romantic, wild and serene, feminist and gutsy, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of the best movies of the year.
  14. Spring Forward
    Great, restrained performances of Beatty and Schreiber, delicately framed by the filmmaker's taste for visual compositions.
  15. 102 Dalmatians
    This sequel adds more insults and injuries that could traumatize little ones. Most frightening of all, the ending leaves the door open for ''103 Dalmatians,'' which would certainly constitute Cruella and unusual punishment.

  16. Unbreakable
    Somberly fantastic new mystery thriller.
  17. Quills
    Quills bleaches the danger -- and fascination -- out of De Sade, turning him into a kind of mad saint of ''Masterpiece Theatre'' porn.
  18. Lies
    Someone has finally done it -- made a sexually explicit feature that is also a genuine and harrowing work of erotic drama.
  19. Bounce
    Watching Bounce, you look at him (Affleck) and believe how much he's got at stake, and you look at Paltrow and know why.
  20. Rugrats in Paris: The Movie - Rugrats II
    Packs appeal for both kids and parents.
  21. The 6th Day
    A bit of a clone itself, but it's got a crackerjack helicopter chase, a semblance of a script, and a sotto voce performance by Robert Duvall as a biotech genius who murmurs sweet nothings to his dying cloned wife.
  22. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
    If anything, the real surprise here is how affecting he makes the Grinch's ultimate big hearted turnaround, as Carrey the actor sneaks up on Carrey the wild man dervish. In whichever mode, he carreys the movie.
  23. Red Planet
    Watching the movie, it's hard to imagine why anyone would dream of going back there.
  24. Men of Honor
    Educational and upstanding, a little overacted and more than a little overdramatized. But it's honorable.
  25. Little Nicky
    There are laughs to be had, yet the movie is, if anything, more strenuous than it is funny.
  26. You Can Count on Me
    Beautiful, compassionate, articulate domestic drama.
  27. Suzhou River
    Has more atmosphere than it does coherence; it's a series of floating tricks and gambits in search of a resolution. Even so, Ye's ''Vertigo'' fever is contagious.
  28. Boesman and Lena
    About two people on a stage, talking their way into and out of alienation.
  29. Kippur
    Intense, autobiographically based drama.
  30. The Legend of Bagger Vance
    There's not a moment in Bagger Vance that can't be anticipated.
