  1. Kung Fu Hustle
    All of Kung Fu Hustle is like that: You don't just watch it, you ride with it, laughing all the way.
  2. Winter Solstice
    A realistic drama that looks and feels as inevitably true and moving as a good documentary.
  3. Major Dundee (re-release)
    If you want to see the missing link between John Wayne's squint and Clint Eastwood's sneer, look no further than Charlton Heston in Major Dundee.
  4. Eros
    For the invited filmmaker, the opportunity to make a statement is surely a thrill, but for the viewer - who can't pause indefinitely, as with a book, between stories - the focus-shifting is a demand.
  5. A Hole in My Heart
    To call Lukas Moodysson's A Hole in My Heart the feel-bad movie of the year would be an understatement -- it's the feel-sick movie of the millennium.
  6. Sin City
    Glued tightly from page to screen, Sin City is so seduced by the visual possibilities of sin that style becomes its own vice.
  7. Dust to Glory
    It turns out that speeding along dirt roads isn't nearly as photogenic - or as varied - as surfing is.
  8. Control
    Antal has assembled what may be the single most colorless group of mangy lowlifes I have ever seen.
  9. Look at Me
    The wry filmmaker has created an urbane society of family and friends as ridiculously pretentious and hypocritical as they are cultured, accomplished, and posh.
  10. Beauty Shop
    It's a boisterous and amiable movie but not, in the end, a very funny one.
  11. Oldboy
    Oldboy caused a love-it-or-hate-it stir at Cannes last year, and how could it not: It's an onslaught made to cause a sensation. Consider me simultaneously jolted and depressed.
  12. Guess Who
    Guess Who, with its PG-13 putdowns, turns into the kind of love story that Hollywood feels most comfortable with: a buddy movie, salt-and-pepper variety. All that's missing is the cop car.
  13. The Ballad of Jack and Rose
    Miller's theme is innocence, the loss of it, and the reclamation of equanimity in the face of that loss, and the music she makes is haunting.
  14. D.E.B.S.
    The movie has no wit, no charm, no cleverness, no traction. Simply put, it is no fun.
  15. Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous
    Isn't exactly good - like "Legally Blonde 2," it's a more exaggerated, less buoyant sequel to what should have been a one-off comedy - but it's enjoyable.
  16. Mondovino
    The highest praise I can give to Mondovino is that it makes you want to sample every vintage it shows you.
  17. Ice Princess
    Peculiarly coy feminine-empowerment fable.
  18. The Ring Two
    The scariest thing in the not-scary-enough The Ring Two is the notion that even smart, attractive adults - yikes, even mothers - just never learn, either.
  19. Melinda and Melinda
    The best reason to see Melinda and Melinda is Radha Mitchell, who has her grabbiest role (or two of them) since she broke through with "High Art."
  20. Fifty-Fifty
    Working from a script cowritten with accomplished Siberian filmmaker Sergey Bodrov, the director creates a taut picture of a place, and a liberating moment of choice.
  21. Steamboy
    It's nifty to behold, but about the only drama in Steamboy lies in waiting for this colossal hovering machine-monster to blow a gasket.
  22. Hostage
    My new theory is that Willis' own aesthetic soul is more old-world than he knows, and that he works best with directors who either are (Luc Besson) or might as well be (M. Night Shyamalan) European.
  23. Robots
    Zippy, enjoyable sci-fi slapstick jamboree.
  24. The Upside of Anger
    The Upside of Anger is overly therapized, yet Costner and Allen show you what it means not just to play a role but to inhabit it.
  25. Millions
    This sincere, delicate, and intrinsically religious comedy may also become that most unexpected of blessings - Danny Boyle's first family classic.
  26. In My Country
    In My Country doesn't so much explore as use the tragedy of black South Africa to give its heroine a righteous slap of nobility.
  27. Mail Order Wife
    It took gifted hucksters to make this movie, a funny and spirited - what to call it?
  28. The Boys & Girl from County Clare
    Feel-good ethnocomedy.
  29. Don't Move
    Told in a tricky flashback mode that's vivid even with a few too many temporal kinks, Don't Move is the sort of thing that Claude Chabrol was once praised for making with more pretension and a lot less less juice.
  30. Dot the I
    The movie is in love with its own story loops and fancy, pop-dream cinematography from Almodóvar associate Affonso Beato, which is fine; it's also in love with its own indie-culture cleverness, which isn't.
