  1. The Sixth Sense
    It's a psychological thriller that actually thrills.
  2. Dick
    A gaily funny, shrewdly inventive satire.
  3. Twin Falls Idaho
    A quietly dazzling microcosm that's always just this side of eerie, just that side of tragic.
  4. Runaway Bride
    The difference between "Pretty Woman" and Runaway Bride is that we can no longer buy Roberts in her tearful romantic-melancholy mode. It seems vaguely patronizing now.

    Deep Blue Sea
    How refreshing: a big-budget, F/X-happy action flick that actually appears to be intentionally stupid.
  6. Drop Dead Gorgeous
    A cheap cut-glass tiara of a booby prize goes to Drop Dead Gorgeous for messing up so utterly.
  7. Inspector Gadget
    The image of this kitchen-magician dream robot comes at us in little jolts and spasms that have the zappy, self-contained rhythm of a fast-food tie-in commercial.
  8. The Haunting
    The scariest thing about The Haunting is how awful it is. No, worse than awful: desperate. It’s a horror flick afraid of its own audience, as lost in its own geography as the fictional film crew in The Blair Witch Project.
  9. Lake Placid
    Instead of rooting for Pullman and Fonda, we end up praying that the crocodile is hungry enough to put them out of their misery.
  10. The Wood
    A genial story of friendship among three young African-American men that gets far on charm even when the cinema technique falters and stalls.
  11. Eyes Wide Shut
    The director's famously over-deliberate, pause-laden style verges, for the first time, on amateurville, and that gives us too much time to linger on the movie's more bizarre details.
  12. The Blair Witch Project
    As a horror picture, Blair Witch may not be much more than a cheeky game, a novelty with the cool, blurry look of an avant-garde artifact. But as a manifestation of multimedia synergy, it's pretty spooky.
  13. Muppets from Space
    The Muppets were once devilish and sly, but this ploddingly whimsical musical caper, which uses too many ’70s soul songs to signify its rainbow-demographic cred, is enough to make you want to see them get slapped around by the Teletubbies (at this point, a far funkier crew).
  14. Arlington Road
    Slippery issues about trust, parental responsibility, and the inalienable American right to personal and political freedom are ceded to Hollywood's inalienable right to stage high-pitched chase scenes and a shocking big finish.
  15. American Pie
    A lively, disposable hybrid of the sincere and the synthetic.
  16. Summer of Sam
    Spike Lee noisily attempts to place the hunt for real-life serial killer David Berkowitz at the center of a hotheaded sociological fantasy linking disco glitz, punk rebellion, ethnic insularity, sexual craving, and sizzling heat into one rattling chain of urban hysteria.
  17. Wild Wild West
    The fusion of cheekiness and deliberately overscaled fantasy never jells.
  18. South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut
    Turns out to be the funniest, most risk-taking, most incisive movie of the summer.
  19. The Dinner Game
    Veteran French farceur Francis Veber proves that feature-length idiot humor is not limited to the Farrelly brothers.
  20. 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.
  21. Tarzan
    One of the great virtues of Disney's most elegant animated ''classic'' in years is how blessedly sermon-free this zippy, dignified retelling of Edgar Rice Burroughs' ripping 1914 yarn is.
  22. Run Lola Run
    An existential chain reaction, yet as remarkable as his cinematic gamesmanship is the way that he traces the anatomy of feeling in Lola.
  23. The General's Daughter
    The plot is a nonsensical mess -- which just caps off the ugliness.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Red Violin
    Carefully crafted, lushly romantic.
  25. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
    As a character, Austin Powers hasn't worn out his welcome, exactly, but he has outlived his novelty.
  26. Buena Vista Social Club
    What the film leaves unexplained is how this joyous musical outpouring, which predated the revolution, could fare under a system with a pathological distrust of beauty.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Instinct
    Never mind that the film's portrayal of the mentally ill is on a par with "There's Something About Mary" -- the clumsy moral that we were all better off as hunters and gatherers couldn't be sillier.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    The Thirteenth Floor
    So what is real? Only the boredom of the audience as the film collapses from one meaningless false-bottom environment to the next.
  29. Notting Hill
    Blithe and exhilarating romantic comedy.
  30. The Loss of Sexual Innocence
    It's one of those woozy Jungian art jobs, a series of elliptical, nearly wordless vignettes that are meant to strike a universal symbolist chord. Director Mike Figgis frames the movie with his baroquely contemporary documentary-like version of the Fall.
