  1. The School of Flesh
    Jacquot economically conveys the small, painful sacrifices both lovers -- but particularly the woman -- must make, and the constant, ongoing negotiations of power required to maintain no-strings freedom.
  2. The Young Unknowns
    There's a shocking, casual quality to the self-destructive narcissism of the pretty, petty kids squandering their lives in the L.A. sunshine of The Young Unknowns.
  3. Open Hearts
    Well-made film. Indeed, discovering such a small pleasure is the kind of experience that rewards film lovers who browse with open eyes as well as hearts.
  4. The Cat's Meow
    Peter Bogdanovich taps deep into the Hearst mystique, entertainingly reenacting a historic scandal.
  5. O
    To an astonishing degree, O gets the tragic Shakespeare mood, that somber stentorian passion born of hidden slivers of ambition and betrayal.
  6. Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy
    In the scurrilously enjoyable documentary Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy, we get to know the man whom Al Goldstein dubbed ''the hedgehog of porn."
  7. Me You Them
    Casé, with her sturdy, elemental body and shining eyes, is the reason phrases like ''inner beauty'' were invented, and she's also the reason this idealistic, naturalistic film by Rio de Janeiro born Andrucha Waddington has been such a success at festivals around the world.

      Ty Burr
    The Luzhin Defence
    Fine candy for mind and eye.
  9. Tortilla Soup
    At times, the movie smacks of a standard-issue Hollywood chick flick, especially in the obligatory scene where the women bond by singing and dancing in a kitchen (to Doris Day's ''Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps'').
  10. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    The dramatic power, though, comes entirely from the eloquence of old people, shot in medium close-up, barely moving as they remember things.
  11. Under the Sand
    Ozon specializes in dissecting the vulnerability, erotic longing, and garbled intentions with which people regularly rub up against one another.
  12. Empire
    Leguizamo owns Empire, the first film to capture the live-wire crackle of his one-man stage shows -- He's front and center in nearly every scene, and he holds the screen with a simmering self-assurance.
  13. Red Satin
    Undoubtedly downplays the seamier, less attractive experiences of Arab women and men in Tunisian cabaret culture, and plays up the fairy-tale charm of the universal ''Flashdance'' formula in an unusual setting.
  14. Julien Donkey-Boy
    Korine remains unnecessarily smitten with sordidness, and there's plenty of it here.
  15. When Brendan Met Trudy
    The movie luxuriates in cinema references while laughing at its own fetishes -- a neat talent.
  16. The Wisdom of Crocodiles
    Peculiarly bloodless.
  17. Mifune's Last Song
    As loose and restful as pajamas.
  18. Baran
    There are moments in Baran as wholesomely heart-tugging as any involving Charlie Chaplin and a blind girl, but the film is saved from aren't-kids-cute sentimentality by a warmth that isn't faked and a stately sense of composition.
  19. Flawless
    It says a lot for Joel Schumacher's Flawless that you can see the picture's high-concept heart a mile away and still be won over by it.
  20. The Last September
    There's something Slavic about Warner's storytelling.
  21. My Wife Is an Actress
    With every detail in this clever peekaboo, the sly filmmaker dangles the possibility that fiction is fact and that Yvan and Charlotte are real -- or at least as real as the movies.
  22. Mansfield Park
    The Australian actress Frances O'Connor is a true find. She's as beautiful as the young Barbara Hershey, with a stare that's pensive yet playful, and she puts us in touch with the quiet battle of emotions in Fanny.
  23. Eureka
    Slow -- sometimes maddeningly, soporifically so.
  24. Aimee & Jaguar
    Färberböck's sensual adaptation is a matter of fact embrace of the unconventional and dangerous during a terrible time.
  25. Monkeybone
    There's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story about the havoc that ensues when a man's uncensored Freudian id is allowed the run of the place.
  26. Last Resort
    Moving and eerily beautiful.
  27. Pandaemonium
    Pandaemonium goes a long way toward capturing the compelling delirium of opium among a crowd of freethinking British iconoclasts.
  28. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    A gaily busy kid flick.
  29. Elling
    Charms because of its natural, non-magical attitude toward humanity.
  30. Secret Ballot
    Charms with its amalgam of absurdity, optimism, humor, and avuncular regard for the million small daily chores, rituals, suspicions, and courtesies of dwellers on even the sparsest spots on earth.
