  1. The French Connection
    To watch it now is to appreciate more than ever Gene Hackman’s uncompromising talent, Owen Roizman’s great, barely-color cinematography, and a time when the spectacle of a foulmouthed, racist, brutal cop could still outrage as many moviegoers as it excited.
  2. Repo Man
    Unlike Cox’s sneering Sid and Nancy, it’s defined more by a tone of affectionate disaffection than antipathy, celebrating a friendlier species of anarchy.

    Dead Again
    With its stylized black-and-white sequences and fast-paced melodramatic plot, this homage to film noir is both intense and purposely self-conscious.
  4. Tumbleweeds
    Rarely have two actresses been so effortless in their intimacy.
  5. Sylvia
    This is the richest role Paltrow has had since ''Shakespeare in Love,'' and she rises to the challenge. She digs deep into Plath's mercurial nature, giving us a Sylvia who's fiercely independent and alive yet burdened with demons of insecurity that bubble up in a rage.
  6. The Last Days of Disco
    The fetching cast (including Jennifer Beals as a histrionic girlfriend), while a long way from Gwyneth and Matt stature, nevertheless reflects Stillman’s enhanced status as an established indie talent.
  7. Analyze This
    Crystal turns in his best (read: least sappy) performance in ages, getting through an entire movie -- most of it, anyway -- without mugging.
  8. Dark Blue
    Goes where all too few films dare to venture these days -- into the heart of moral darkness.
  9. Charlie: The Life and Art of Charles Chaplin
    The nature of silent comedy was to elevate its heroes into myths, but after ''Charlie'' I can't wait to see Chaplin's movies again, this time to glimpse the man on the other side of the icon.
  10. Thirteen Days
    A big, square, rousing political thriller docudrama.
  11. The Fugitive
    The Fugitive is hardly Hitchcock — it never taps our emotions in a way that threatens to transcend the action — but it’s a mainstream thriller made with conviction, intelligence, and heat. In Hollywood, that used to be called professionalism. These days, it’s rare enough to look like artistry.
  12. The Gingerbread Man
    Branagh, chewing on a plummy Georgia accent, makes the divorced, boozing, and womanizing Magruder a smug yet touchingly vulnerable legal player.
  13. Two Family House
    The charm and art of De Felitta's gentle domestic sketch expand far beyond biographical borders.
  14. Stone Reader
    It's ''Moskowitz's March,'' really -- and it ends in stirring victory
    • 77 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Donnie Brasco
    It's the electric interplay between Pacino and Depp that will make it a Mob movie classic.
  16. The Cuckoo
    A stirring action movie -- in the international manner of ''The Fast Runner'' or ''No Man's Land."
  17. Love and Diane
    Riveting family portrait.
  18. Grosse Pointe Blank
    High school reunions should only be this satisfying.
  19. 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.
  20. Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer
    On the eve of Wuornos' 2002 execution, Broomfield digs deep into her abusive hell of a background (beatings, incest, sleeping homeless in the frozen Michigan woods) as well as her quasi-psychotic defense mechanisms.
  21. Jerry Maguire
    Brashly engaging.
  22. A Few Good Men
    Like all courtroom dramas, A Few Good Men is gimmicky and synthetic. It's also an irresistible throwback to the sort of sharp-edged entertainment Hollywood once provided with regularity.
  23. The Professional
    Ah, monsieur, you can lead a Frenchman to the Big Apple, but you can't make him a New Yorker -- and that's exactly what makes The Professional so fascinating.
  24. Croupier
    So sharp and dryly urbane in its mod-Brit take on the noir, noir, noir, noir world of gambling, dames, and pulp fiction, it makes higher-profile attempts like ''Rounders'' look blah, blah, blah, blah.
  25. Insomnia
    Superb psychological thriller.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Hilary and Jackie
    Neither the stars' harmonious interplay nor director Anand Tucker's insistent urbanity of camera work can disguise that the cello drama is melodrama.
  27. Trekkies
    Trekkies is hilarious, fascinating, and, at times, almost scary.
  28. The King Is Alive
    Janet McTeer displays Amazonian power while Jennifer Jason Leigh tears into her role as a high maintenance creature with a ferocity that leaves little room for her usual acting tics.
  29. The Quiet American
    Noyce's movie works because the director -- trusts himself, and his audience, to understand that catastrophe isn't always a matter of loud ideology. Rather, it's the result of age-old human weakness. And sometimes it's quiet.
  30. Lisa Picard Is Famous
    It's not every comedy that can make you laugh with ridicule and cringe in empathetic horror at the same time.
