  1. Lethal Weapon 4
    At the Lethal Weapon plant, what you see, after 11 years, are the rusting remnants of a once innovative model.
  2. Hands on a Hardbody: The Documentary
    Hands On a Hard Body itself is sometimes as bumpy as a panhandle dirt road, but out of the low-budget roughness and moments of Lettermanesque ain’t-folks-nutty humor, sharp portraits emerge of contestants as well as of the families and friends who massage, feed, and revivify the flagging bodies.
  3. Armageddon
    Bay doesn't stage scenes, exactly -- he stages moments.
  4. Out of Sight
    Lopez, for all her Latina-siren voluptuousness, has always projected a contained coolness, and this is the first movie in which it fully works for her.
  5. Smoke Signals
    The film excels in small scenes of cannily chosen Indian everydayness.

    Buffalo '66
    It's all somehow both familiar and dazzling, just as Ricci's kidnapped tap student, forced to pose as the protagonist's wife for his horrifically indifferent parents, is somehow both nondescript and heartbreaking.
  7. Dr. Dolittle
    Director Betty Thomas demonstrates her expertise at keeping indulgence at bay in even the coarsest of comic situations.
  8. The X Files
    Dark, funny, paranoid, arbitrary, humming with tamped-down eroticism and in love with all things weird: That's the good news.
  9. Mulan
    It took long enough, but Disney has finally come up with an animated heroine who's a good role model and a funky, arresting personality at the same time.
  10. Henry Fool
    Resonant examination of friendship, fame, cultural trends, and the creative process.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    High Art
    Who knew that Brat Packer Sheedy would shine as a heroin-addicted photographer who had too much fame too early?
  12. Six Days Seven Nights
    It's no accident that portions of Six Days mildly echo some of Ford's most popular films, from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Working Girl."
  13. Can't Hardly Wait
    Agreeably mindless generation-next trash, but it leaves you hungry for a movie in which the characters are more than walking screenwriter index cards.
  14. Dirty Work
    Norm Macdonald proves himself to be the new Chevy Chase by following up his ”Weekend Update” stint with Dirty Work, a smug, unfunny feature flop.
  15. A Perfect Murder
    I've seen far worse thrillers than A Perfect Murder, but the movie is ultimately more competent than pleasurable.
  16. The Truman Show
    A beautifully sinister and transfixing entertainment-age daydream.
  17. Mr. Jealousy
    Have there ever been two less energetic stars than Eric Stoltz and Annabella Sciorra? Casting this diffident duo in an allegedly romantic comedy proves disastrous; they suck the air out of virtually every scene.
  18. The Last Days of Disco
    The fetching cast (including Jennifer Beals as a histrionic girlfriend), while a long way from Gwyneth and Matt stature, nevertheless reflects Stillman’s enhanced status as an established indie talent.
  19. Hope Floats
    The pond is so shallow in this wan romance that there's no room for anything to float.
  20. The Opposite of Sex
    Traffics in the coyly blasphemous, aren't-we-dysfunctional family-disaster chic that has become the single most annoying trend in independent filmmaking.
  21. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
    The movie is a true folly, yet there's no denying that Gilliam has gotten some of the hallucinogenic madness of Thompson's novel on screen.
  22. Bulworth
    It's a tease of a satire that never really follows through on its audacious premise.
  23. Godzilla
    There are some clever and exciting sequences, but this $120 million epic of reconstituted Atomic Age trash lumbers more than it thrills.
  24. The Horse Whisperer
    All the nuggets of spoken wisdom rattle around with a tad too much space and (at 2 1/2 hours plus) too much length.
  25. Clockwatchers
    There’s a wisp of a plot (who could the office klepto be?), but most of Clockwatchers is as empty of drive and imagination as its poor-little-victim heroines, who never seem more than sulky, overgrown high school girls.
  26. Deep Impact
    Leder establishes a syncopated rhythm unlike anything we're used to in a catastrophe spectacle.
  27. Shooting Fish
    Wafer-thin, content-light, structure-wobbly, and whimsy-heavy.
  28. He Got Game
    As is often the case with Lee, though, the film left me wishing for even more scenes of casual intimacy, still the most powerful way to carry any message.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Wilde
    Restrained, sober, decorous.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Sliding Doors
    The story is hackneyed, and the gimmick only doubles the dullardry.
