  1. Catch Me If You Can
    We aren't talking Oscar here. We're talking truly fine performances and an unexpectedly hep John Williams score. We are talking a story that rollicks with the most rollicking of them. Not great cinema; just a great time at the movies and certainly a film well worth catching if you can.
  2. Narc
    Patric and Liotta are as tense and great as they've ever been.
  3. Gangs of New York
    This is a spacious, robust movie that grabs hold of us and doesn't let go for nearly three hours.

    Spider
    This is the film that "Shine" and A Beautiful Mind could not be, a story about schizophrenia that doesn’t neatly resolve its complex subject matter.
  5. Antwone Fisher
    A competently calibrated feel-good machine. It's as effective as anything on The Lifetime Channel. Which is likely where this project would have wound up were it not for the involvement of Washington.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    25th Hour
    One of Spike Lee's greatest films -- seamlessly merging personal drama against a canvas of larger social significance on a level worthy of "Do the Right Thing."
  7. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
    There’s no question here that moviegoers will be treated to a completely enveloping, three-hour vacation from reality.
  8. Maid in Manhattan
    This is by the books in every way, funny and undemanding ... and also rather sweet and heartwarming.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    The Hot Chick
    This movie is a 21st century take on the tired switched-persons genre, with predictable and obvious gag-inducing results.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    About Schmidt
    This is where Payne shines. Schmidt’s Winnebago journey through America’s heartland is more like a personal voyage into his Heart of Darkness.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Drumline
    This film takes chances and is abundant with style, seeming to pick-up where "Brown Sugar" left off, introducing editing conventions not normally accustomed to African-American film.
  12. Intact
    Devilishly clever and boasting a killer finale, Intacto is this year's "Memento" -- only Spanish.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Star Trek: Nemesis
    The humor is not as hackneyed as in previous films.
  14. Blackboards
    About as much fun as a grouchy ayatollah in a cold mosque.
  15. Empire
    Empire is an entertaining, colorful, action-filled crime story with an intimate heart.
  16. Analyze That
    It used to be that the main allure of features was that they could deliver what cable couldn't, but now it's the other way around and one of the biggest problems with Analyze That is that it doesn't show us anything new or really funny, certainly nothing that we can't get on HBO.
  17. Soap Girl
    If you want pure, undiluted, 100% guaranteed entertainment, Soap Girl is the film to enjoy. This film is a wonderful work of fun, with a marvelous ensemble cast who have more energy, sex-appeal and charm than any group to strut and vamp across the camera in recent memory.
  18. My Kingdom
    Ends up feeling like just another uneven British crime drama.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Adaptation.
    Infinitely impractical, consistently unique and vastly imaginative.
  20. Equilibrium
    Since Equilibrium shamelessly rips off every Orwellian science fiction thriller in film history, what other reason is there besides sheer desperation for the film to be so stupidly violent?
  21. Russian Ark
    Little more than a travelogue designed to show off the grandeur of the Hermitage, with the silly actors in fancy costumes getting in the way of the paintings and sculptures on display.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rabbit-Proof Fence
    The performances of young Sampi, Monaghan and Sansbury are amazing. They’re immersing and compelling.
  23. Solaris
    It's an entirely different animal from Tarkovsky's hypnotic but opaque take, and it's an entirely different animal from most studio product in general -- Soderbergh's Solaris is a gorgeous and deceptively minimalist cinematic tone poem.
  24. They
    While it does deliver some good jolts, it never quite cranks up the terror.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Die Another Day
    The real-deal, packed with more excitement, vigor and fortitude than an unfaltering Magnum.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Friday After Next
    If you can’t laugh at stuff like this, there are still a few days left in the theatrical run of “Santa Clause 2”. I hear the reindeer are horny as hell.
  27. Talk to Her
    It feels strangely slight for Almodovar, but there's a richness that draws us in -- There's so much going on beneath the surface that you can hardly take it all in.
  28. The Quiet American
    As a piece of acting, The Quiet American represents a fitting capper to Caine’s illustrious career; his portrait of a jaded sybarite whom history nudges into conscientious action is among the year’s most moving.
  29. Personal Velocity: Three Portraits
    An intensely moving and oftentimes haunting film; a compelling look at the unique life paths of three totally different women.
  30. Better Housekeeping
    There are flashes of honest insight lurking under the film's rough, uneven surface.
