  1. Anna and the King
    It's a painstakingly correct update of what is, let's face it, one of the least culturally correct love stories ever to be mythologized by Hollywood.
  2. Magnolia
    Anderson's big, showy flower of a movie unfurls brilliantly, each plot petal a thing of exquisite design. Then it ripens. Then it disintegrates, leaving a mess of color and a faint whiff of rot.
  3. The Cider House Rules
    Lasse Hallström calms Irving's typically busy 1985 best-seller with a balm of the Swedish director's typically soothing lyricism.
  4. Cradle Will Rock
    Robbins the agitprop celebrity may be blowin' in the wind, but Robbins, the son of a folksinger, knows how to get audiences clapping along.
  5. Miss Julie
    Figgis never frees the play enough from the stage to fill the screen.
  6. The War Zone
    Roth, there's no denying, creates considerable suspense out of our desire to confront the forbidden.
  7. Diamonds
    This condescending story wastes him (Douglas).
  8. Stir of Echoes
    Offers tricky fragmentation without mystery or mood; it's a mosaic of fear that grows less and less unsettling as it comes together.
  9. The Green Mile
    Excessive, but I, like Mr. Jingles, can't resist the Christmas-season cheese.
  10. Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
    Just when you're sure that Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo can't get any less funny, the movie douses the trailer's best gag, as that prosthetic leg turns out to be attached to Deuce's true love.
  11. Agnes Browne
    Modest and prosaic, with an unfortunate fairy-tale ending (yes, it features Tom Jones).
  12. Holy Smoke
    Too tightly made not to keep you watching, Holy Smoke is also too hokey and didactic to take seriously.
  13. The End of the Affair
    The affair itself, in its genteel way, does catch fire, but it's the end of the affair that needs to move us to rapture, and the movie, instead, just drifts away.
  14. Sweet and Lowdown
    Allen draws a snappy, loose-limbed performance from Penn.
  15. A Map of the World
    Director Scott Elliott, in his feature-film debut, is especially perceptive about what goes on at the edges during deepening family crises, literally at the borders of the screen.
  16. Flawless
    It says a lot for Joel Schumacher's Flawless that you can see the picture's high-concept heart a mile away and still be won over by it.
  17. Tumbleweeds
    Rarely have two actresses been so effortless in their intimacy.
  18. End of Days
    Frequently silly, yet eminently more watchable than such leaden Schwarzenegger efforts as ''Eraser.''
  19. Ride with the Devil
    Ang Lee's bloody but dramatically anemic depiction of the American Civil War as fought by boys without uniforms.
  20. Toy Story 2
    It's a great, IQ-flattering entertainment both wonderful and wise.
  21. The World Is Not Enough
    The hero himself has been denatured for a young, late 1990s audience with little appreciation for real suavity or sex play.
  22. All About My Mother
    Almodóvar's masterwork, is a spectacular synthesis of everything that has always interested him -- proud women, lovely boys, beautiful drag queens, grand movie stars, gorgeous frocks, wild wallpaper .
  23. Sleepy Hollow
    Little more than a lavish, art-directed slasher movie.
  24. 42: Forty Two Up
    It would be tempting to describe the Up movies as a miracle in the history of nonfiction filmmaking, if they didn't also represent one of the cinema's most singularly squandered opportunities.
  25. Mansfield Park
    The Australian actress Frances O'Connor is a true find. She's as beautiful as the young Barbara Hershey, with a stare that's pensive yet playful, and she puts us in touch with the quiet battle of emotions in Fanny.
  26. Liberty Heights
    But Levinson's passion to explain how he got from there to ''Sphere'' gives Liberty Heights its own farkatke Hollywood integrity.
  27. Anywhere But Here
    What's missing from this by-the-numbers drama is a sense of abandon.
  28. Felicia's Journey
    Like a dowser who can divine hidden sources of water, Atom Egoyan has a talent for locating the dream-state perversity that runs just under the surface of everyday life;
  29. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    There's precious little in Luc Besson's solemnly inflated, battle-weary historical epic.
  30. Dogma
    It's not every day you get to see a movie that begins in satire and ends in reverence, but then, for Kevin Smith, they may ultimately be the same thing.
