  1. Joe the King
    So willfully bleak and profanity-filled, it could only have been written and directed by an actor.
  2. The Straight Story
    Lynch's first movie since ''Blue Velvet'' that truly envelops you in its spell. It's a piece of celestial Americana -- his journey to the light side of the moon.
  3. Fight Club
    If, as Fincher has said, this movie is supposed to be funny, then the joke's on us.
  4. Whiteboyz
    Dopey, not dope.
  5. Random Hearts
    Might best be described as bereavement porn.
  6. The Limey
    A small cubist masterpiece about crime and punishment set in that most split-level of environments, Los Angeles.
  7. Superstar
    It barely boasts enough funny material to fill four minutes.
  8. Boys Don't Cry
    It's Swank, however, who's the revelation. By the end, her Brandon/Teena is beyond male or female. It's as if we were simply glimpsing the character's soul, in all its yearning and conflicted beauty.
  9. Molly
    Viewers will never be molly-fied by this tripe.
  10. Plunkett & Macleane
    Watchable in a facile, trashy way. Unfortunately, most of the movie is mired in sludge, slime, mud, blood, and studiously dank cinematography.
  11. Mystery, Alaska
    The enterprise might also be called ''Picket Fences on Ice."
  12. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    A gaily busy kid flick.
  13. Happy, Texas
    A comedy of '90s sexual inclusiveness as effervescent as a cold sody pop -- and about as intoxicating.
  14. Three Kings
    So overstuffed with random fireworks that despite its politics, it's easy to imagine the film getting a four-star rave from Bush or Saddam.
  15. Drive Me Crazy
    Amusing in its very shallowness.
  16. Double Jeopardy
    This toothless thriller...feels like a strained reworking of ''The Fugitive.''
  17. Mumford
    Turns the tricks of psychology into duplicitous high play.
  18. Jakob the Liar
    Of course, there's still the Williams schmaltz factor.
  19. Dog Park
    This shambling romantic comedy...clings to a sensibility that's imperviously, uncompromisingly Canadian.
  20. Simon Sez
    The movie, a shoddy mess, is a bargain-basement rip-off of ''Ronin."
  21. Guinevere
    This patient, perceptive, nonjudgmental love story about age difference is the first to convincingly explain the temporal physics of May-December romances.
  22. Splendor
    It gradually loses wattage. Robertson, however, is a real sparkler.
  23. Sugar Town
    That durable, sexy powerhouse Beverly D'Angelo steals every scene she's in.
  24. Breakfast of Champions
    A movie so unhinged it practically dares you not to hate it.
  25. Lucie Aubrac
    Manages to take great characters and a great plot and leach them of all blood, terror, and excitement.
  26. Get Bruce
    An affectionate puff profile.
  27. Blue Streak
    How lame have high-concept, no-brain comedies gotten?
  28. For Love of the Game
    Costner's determination to avoid change keeps this baseball movie at a low line drive when it might have knocked one into the bleachers.
  29. Romance
    The movie is a footnote as well, a minor reference back to the days when people yearned for a cinema that was serious and erotic at the same time.
  30. American Beauty
    You know you're in the hands of a true filmmaker when you feel invited, at every turn, to share his sense of entrancement. I got that feeling in just about every frame of American Beauty.
