  1. Grazia's Island
    For all Golino's comeliness, she's upstaged by the windy beauty of the landscape, and by Crialese's attention -- in an Italian neorealist way -- to the routines of daily life in an insular, traditional culture.
  2. Austin Powers in Goldmember
    Mike Myers and Austin Powers may stick to their old Beatle boots, but they've both come a long way, luvvy. For proof, just look at all the A-list celebrities-I-won't-mention happy to crash the party.
  3. 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.
  4. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
    A little of this sort of thing goes a long way, but no one does it better than Myers.
  5. Hard Eight
    Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson crafts a plot of manipulation and chance, in which some zigs and zags are more convincing than others. Still, his feel for scuzz, for people living at the raw extremes of appetite, is palpable.
  6. The Parent Trap
    The natural, pleasurable 1990s hipness [Lohan] brings to her assignment is therefore all the more impressive. Hayley-holics should be grateful to this new girl at camp too.
  7. Picture Perfect
    Another contemporary story about a woman with a successful career punished with a lousy personal life.
  8. Wild Things
    A tricky-bordering-on-gimmicky film noir with a glaze of soft-core kink.
  9. Big Trouble
    There are stretches of big fun in Big Trouble, and little pleasures too.
  10. Mambo italiano
    This is feel-good filmmaking, to be sure, but the culture clash here is more than a meaningless vehicle for fizzy wish fulfillment. The not-unpleasant result is hearty Italian fare with the half-life of Chinese takeout.
  11. The Full Monty
    The comic moments in this ingratiating bit of malarkey from director Peter Cattaneo and screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (both TV trained, both making their feature debuts) are winning.
  12. 8 Women
    The result is weightless entertainment that's both camp and true, a warped adoration of star-quality actresses as amazing creatures who can project the lives of fictional characters as well as the essence of their own fabulous selves.
  13. Miracle
    Miracle -- the title taken from TV announcer Al Michaels' famous game-clinching cheer, ''Do you believe in miracles? Yes!'' -- wins not when it exhorts by word but when it shows by action.
  14. 50 First Dates
    As a comedy, 50 First Dates is standard Sandler, but as a love story it left me pleasantly buzzed, if not quite punch-drunk.
  15. The Insider
    A good but far from great movie because it portrays truth telling in America as far more imperiled than it is.

    SLC Punk!
    For a while, angry young Stevo (Lillard) turns his quest for total anarchy into a grungy, giddy, randomly violent rave. Then reality creeps up and, well, it bites.

    October Sky
    Duller than rocket science and more reliant on formulas.
  18. Desperado
    The camera loves Banderas -- a velvet stud -- as much as it did the young Clint Eastwood.
  19. The Green Mile
    Excessive, but I, like Mr. Jingles, can't resist the Christmas-season cheese.
  20. Jim Brown: All American
    From what we can tell, Brown was a dancer, all right, in life as well as on the field -- a dancer with a powerful forearm, one that Lee covers in protective padding.

    The Breakfast Club
    From the neon-sign opening titles to the derivative angst of the dialogue, it's a touchstone of '80s pop culture, and a schizophrenic one, too.

    Enemy of the State
    A high-adrenaline, high-concept action thriller that mixes hot-button issues of privacy and surveillance, easy-to-identify good and bad guys, attention-getting stars, and well-choreographed chase scenes.

    The Princess Bride
    Reiner's penchant for hip little riffs -- Billy Crystal as a yiddish wizard, etc. -- dilutes primal power in favor of genial fun.
  24. Twister
    And for a movie that stars acts of God, this work of mortals provides surprisingly little liftoff. The stuff that whips through the angry skies in Twister is the most exciting part of the spectacle. Essentially, we're turned on by debris.
  25. Gangster No. 1
    A canny, derivative, wildly gruesome portrait of a London sociopath who's the scariest of sadists, in part because he's also a very courtly one.
  26. Road Trip
    Slick, reasonably amusing, never asking its audience to swallow anything too wild for consumption.
  27. Bon voyage
    Bon Voyage arrives like one of those old soldiers who stumbles from his hiding place unaware that the war is over and the world has changed -- and with it, French cinema.
  28. Monsieur Ibrahim
    The movie is sometimes profound in its simple, optimistic message of friendship -- and sometimes it's plain simple.
  29. Carandiru
    Lays on the compassion a little thick, yet its heartfelt squalor stays with you.
  30. Charlie's Angels
    Charlie's Angels is finally Cameron Diaz's movie. Her Natalie has a heart as insecure as her body is smokin'.
