  1. The Cockettes
    The Cockettes weren't talented, exactly, yet the bedazzled flakiness of their passion takes you closer than just about any movie has to what was once really meant by the term ''free-spirited.''
  2. The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest
    It appears to have been modeled on the worst revenge-of-the-nerds clichés the filmmakers could dredge up.
  3. Hey Arnold! The Movie
    The ethical, independent-minded kid has his unhip charms, and so does Hey Arnold! The Movie.
  4. Harvard Man
    A characteristically engorged and sloppy coming-of-age movie from the filmmaker (''Harvard '66'') who, in his body of work, indulges his fantasies as fetishistically as other men finger their cigars.
  5. Pumpkin
    As PC busting goes, this first feature directed by Tony R. Abrams and scribe Adam Larson Broder shoots at close range, and there's something endearing about the way the filmmakers fire away so eagerly at such fluorescent-colored targets.
  6. Mr. Deeds
    An idiot variation on Frank Capra's ''Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,'' might have been thrown together in even less time than it takes Sandler to get dressed in the morning; it feels sort of like the dumbest corporate comedy of 1987.
  7. Juwanna Mann
    As anyone who has peered in on the actual WNBA for five minutes knows, professional women basketball players are as tough as men. That the film treats this as a joke isn't funny -- it's the height of lame condescension.
  8. Dahmer
    To explain a serial killer is to diminish his madness, but Dahmer does something quietly riveting. It lets you brush up against the humanity of a psycho, without making him any less psycho.
  9. Sunshine State
    Like a blue plate special at a theme diner, Sunshine State comes with a lot of overdone side dishes thrown on the table at the same time.
  10. Lilo & Stitch
    The animation in Lilo & Stitch has an engaging retro-simple vivacity, and it's nice to see a movie for tots make use of Elvis Presley, but the story is witless and oddly defanged.
  11. Minority Report
    The mechanical beauty and android possibilities of the future excite the filmmaker, and that's where Minority Report becomes an alluring postcard from the edge. But it's an edge over which Spielberg never seems to want to step.
  12. The Emperor's New Clothes
    It's a royal, finely modulated double performance by an actor who always wears his powers with graceful modesty.
  13. Windtalkers
    Windtalkers blows this way and that, but there's no mistaking the filmmaker in the tall grass, true to himself.
  14. 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.
  15. Scooby-Doo
    The antics involving ghosts, chases, and burping that divert the small fry don't mix with the jokey, tribute-band dialogue spouting from the Mystery, Inc. gang.
  16. The Bourne Identity
    It has a few whispers of intrigue, but at the heart of The Bourne Identity lies a dispiriting paradox: The more that Jason Bourne learns about himself, the less arresting he seems.
  17. The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
    It's all way too heavy-handed, though nicely acted by Hirsch, Culkin, and, especially, Jena Malone.
  18. Bad Company
    Joel Schumacher directs with far less fetishism than he might have, while producer Jerry Bruckheimer kicks up only a fraction of the bull dust usually visible in his projects.
  19. Cherish
    Disoriented but occasionally disarming saga packed with moments out of an ''Alice in Wonderland'' adventure, a stalker thriller, and a condensed season of TV's ''Big Brother.''
  20. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
    The magnolias in Callie Khouri's fried green movie look limp.
  21. Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner
    Stunning, fully formed masterpiece.
  22. Mama Africa
    It understands, in a way that speaks forcefully enough about the mechanisms of poverty to transcend the rather simplistic filmmaking.
  23. The Sum of All Fears
    A world-detonation thriller, at once urgent and lazy, that benefits from its connection to current events and also, by the end, suffers from it.
  24. Undercover Brother
    Lee's images of black and white stereotypes are agreeably silly yet altogether too thin and vanilla safe.
  25. Elling
    Charms because of its natural, non-magical attitude toward humanity.
  26. Bartleby
    It's no insult to Melville to say that he wrote, in effect, the original ''Dilbert.'' This movie, unfortunately, makes ''Dilbert'' look like Melville.
  27. CQ
    Coppola, who has made clever music videos, including the one for Moby's ''Honey,'' clearly had a lot of fun detailing the mod cheesiness of this intergalactic period piece, though the satire would have been more ticklish if ''Austin Powers'' hadn't gotten there first.

      Ty Burr
    Thirteen Conversations About One Thing
    Judging by the title, though, Sprecher made the movie she wanted to make, and if you're in the right damp-wool mood, you may connect with it too.
  29. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
    An animated fairy tale made with simple, elegant conviction.
  30. Enough
    There's only one place that a movie like this one can possibly be heading, and that's to a demagogic blowout of violent, femme-power payback. Enough gets there by way of far too many tedious detours.
