  1. The Minus Man
    With no climactic showdown and no comforting revelation of motive or reassuring psychoanalytic diagnosis, the nerve-rattling potential of this sly, paranoia-inducing story may sink in only later.
  2. Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams
    The inventiveness is still superior and the network of fiends and family is extended.
  3. The Young Girl and the Monsoon
    When Kinney and Muth share scenes, it's hard not to get caught up.
  4. Comedian
    The thrust of the movie is that even for Jerry, the quintessential scientist of stand-up, comedy is very, very hard to do. By the end, you're closer to knowing why.
  5. Made
    Little more than a rambling chain of combative buddy mishaps, but the interplay between Vaughn and Favreau, who does great double takes of thrusting chin frustration, spins you through the weak patches.
  6. Price of Glory
    The movie, while heartfelt and vividly shot, takes too many rote genre turns.
  7. Agnes Browne
    Modest and prosaic, with an unfortunate fairy-tale ending (yes, it features Tom Jones).
  8. I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
    A modest vérité portrait of Wilco, the engagingly melodious, deeply unglam alt-folk rockers.
  9. Shaft
    If nothing else, Shaft is spicy fast food.
  10. Interview with the Assassin
    The film's best trick is the way that it treats conspiracy as a kind of political ''Blair Witch,'' a monstrous murk that haunts us precisely because it can never be seen.
  11. Rules of Engagement
    The drama ultimately retreats to safer, duller, more illogical, and more reactionary impulses and stereotypes.
  12. La Ciudad (The City)
    In their stark, black-and-white visual style, they are redolent of Italian neorealist cinema or fine muckraking WPA photojournalism.
  13. The Visit
    This very earnestly American prison gives off an unusually mellow European air.
  14. Happenstance
    In Happenstance, fortune doesn't just smile -- it schemes and tricks and zigzags, forming an urban road map of fate's detours.
  15. Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
    Does all it can not to dehumanize Chong.
  16. Boiler Room
    Younger, in his debut feature, is as canny as he is derivative.
  17. Home Movie
    Smith profiles five extraordinary American homes, and because the owners seem fully aware of the uses and abuses of fame, it's a pleasure to enjoy their eccentricities.
  18. The Sea
    The loveliest moments put both politics and theatrics aside, conveying the strange beauty of a hard life involving little else than fish, water, and gray sky.
  19. Stuart Little 2
    Very much a kiddie ride, Stuart Little 2 is lively without being hyperactive -- it's a bouncy mouse caper with a wee bit of soul.
  20. Stuart Little
    A Little goes a long way.
  21. Holy Smoke
    Too tightly made not to keep you watching, Holy Smoke is also too hokey and didactic to take seriously.
  22. L.I.E.
    You know you're in the hands of a born filmmaker when he floods a scene with danger and excitement and, at the same time, tempers it with something more delicate -- a languor of the everyday.
  23. Kiss of the Dragon
    This is all grimy, guy on guy fun, right down to the fevered, bad English dialogue.
  24. Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat
    Lawrence makes you believe in the character you're watching. He does an amazing little piece of acting.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Red Violin
    Carefully crafted, lushly romantic.
  26. The Pledge
    Penn is a true talent, but there's just enough languid pretension to The Pledge to make you wonder if he's ultimately more interested in parading his promise as a director than in fulfilling it.
  27. City by the Sea
    Moves along with a quietude, a scruffy direct plainness that has long gone out of style.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Closer You Get
    Featherweight tale of Guinness-guzzling bachelors.
  29. Two Weeks Notice
    Knows what it needs to do for both its stars, does it, and doesn't make a federal case about it. I'd watch these two together again in a New York minute.
  30. Jet Lag
    It's a pleasure to encounter a confectionary love story in which a man and woman of age and experience discover feelings that youth, more and more, has a patent on in Hollywood.
