  1. Russian Ark
    It was only with the advent of digital technology that the notion of an entire film done in a single take became possible. Mike Figgis got there first with ''Time Code,'' and now the Russian director Alexander Sokurov has brought off a comparably startling feat with Russian Ark.
  2. Tuck Everlasting
    A dreamy adaptation of Natalie Babbitt's cherished 1975 children's novel.
  3. The Ice Storm
    Kevin Kline is sweetly befuddled as a good man caught between worlds, and Sigourney Weaver, as a hard, sexy adulteress, makes her wit sting.
  4. No Man's Land
    It's a merciless and mirthlessly funny antiwar weapon from a filmmaker who has seen battle firsthand and has lived to make art from memories of hell.
  5. Tigerland
    An affecting, old fashioned, antiwar war story.
  6. Das Boot
    Sweaty and claustrophobic, exciting and horrifying at the same time, it never lets us forget we're riding aboard a giant, primitive tin can, a hunk of industrial machinery that mingles the illusion of omnipotence with the reality of a floating prison cell. [Director's Cut]
  7. Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
    Best of all, a revisit with Jedi makes a viewer appreciate spectacle, presentation, mythology -- that, and the power of a bitchin' helmet to speak volumes in a language even an alien can understand. [Special Edition]

    Sense and Sensibility
    Ang Lee's film of the Jane Austen novel slavishly follows the gospel according to Merchant Ivory, swooning over characters declaiming modestly while surrounded by topiary.
  9. The Big Bounce
    By not trying too hard, this remake of a dumb movie has got spring in its step. The bounce is on us.
  10. Sex Is Comedy
    Shows a beguiling aptitude for self-mockery in the pursuit of polemic.
  11. House of Sand and Fog
    Just because a scenario turns dark doesn't mean that it's convincing. House of Sand and Fog is artful until it lunges for Art.
  12. Shall We Dance?
    Even when the catharsis we yearn for arrives, it's tinged with restraint. But then, the true romance in Shall We Dance? is more than personal. It's the spectacle of a nation learning to dance with itself.
  13. Roger Dodger
    A little too programmed in its despair, but it coasts along on the jagged music of the modern lothario's song.
  14. Next Stop Wonderland
    Anderson brings compassion to his amused sense of yuppie tragicomedy, as he does to his nuanced understanding of Boston, the setting of this appealing fairy tale.
  15. Sunshine
    While inevitably oversimplified, is never less than engrossing.
  16. George Washington
    A peculiar combination of willful meandering and matter of fact violence, and it occasionally confounds in its attempts to exalt.
  17. Dr. Dolittle
    Director Betty Thomas demonstrates her expertise at keeping indulgence at bay in even the coarsest of comic situations.

    Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
    Let's face it: Chick power was never this yummy.
  19. Lost Boys of Sudan
    Yearns to be optimistic (juxtaposed with the disaster of Sudan, it certainly has the right to be), yet that only ends up underscoring its ache of sadness.
  20. Ten
    A glimpse into a society that has grown more open, more free, and also more casually selfish in its interpersonal aggression.
  21. 25th Hour
    Lee, as he did in ''Malcolm X'' and ''Clockers,'' makes his hero's dread palpable, and though 25th Hour lacks the glittering brilliance of those films, I was held by the toughness and pity of Lee's gaze.
  22. American Beauty
    You know you're in the hands of a true filmmaker when you feel invited, at every turn, to share his sense of entrancement. I got that feeling in just about every frame of American Beauty.
  23. Chasing Amy
    The hit-and-run outlandishness of "Clerks" was a stunt. With Chasing Amy, Smith has made his first real movie.
  24. Narc
    Narc is as cop movie as a cop movie can be.
  25. The Recruit
    From the get-go, The Recruit is one of those thrillers that delights in pulling the rug out from under you, only to find another rug below that.
  26. The Ladykillers
    A lot of good actors have gone to work for the Coens and ended up looking like puppets, but Hanks is too clever for that. He knows that he's playing a concoction rather than a human being.
  27. Seducing Doctor Lewis
    Very ''Waking Ned Devine.'' There's shrewd wit to Pouliot's gentle, no-bull farce.
  28. Mulan
    It took long enough, but Disney has finally come up with an animated heroine who's a good role model and a funky, arresting personality at the same time.
  29. The Corporation
    The Corporation has better manners and a longer fuse than ''Fahrenheit 9/11.'' But the acerbic, sardonically illuminating Canadian documentary shares with its American cousin a certain bleak leftist glee in pursuit of its cause.
  30. I'm Not Scared
    With a taste for dark lyricism, the director delicately emphasizes the contrast between surface innocence and subterranean danger, and between grown-up secrets and boyhood bravery.
