    Godzilla 2000
    Dumb, fun, out of this world.
  2. Bless the Child
    Director Chuck Russell ("The Mask") and screenwriter Thomas Rickman don't need new agents -- they need backup careers.
  3. Cecil B. DeMented
    Neither Waters' funniest film nor, by a long chalk, his most radical. But it is, as promised, a passing of the torch and an article of suitably perverse faith in the next generation of nutso cinéastes.
  4. The Replacements
    Although this movie doesn't have an ounce of depth, it's so thoroughly amiable and upbeat that you'd have to be in a fighting mood to find fault with it.
  5. The Opportunists
    It's Walken who's most impressive.
  6. An Affair of Love
    A delicate mood piece that owes much of its languorous charm to the understated intelligence of its two leads.
  7. Autumn in New York
    When it comes to real people living and loving in the real world, the studios don't have a clue.
  8. Aimee & Jaguar
    A sophisticated and beautiful feature debut.
  9. The Tao of Steve
    It's amazing that anyone still thinks this kind of shit can fly.
  10. Saving Grace
    It's a fresh installment in what appears to be a self-perpetuating sitcom of British life.
  11. The Tic Code
    What at first seems emotionally charged, ultimately comes off as contrived.
    • 21 Metascore

    Better Living
    Talky and labored.
  13. Psycho Beach Party
    Ultimately, Psycho...can't overcome the redundancy of parodying a genre that long ago sank into its own satiric muck.
  14. Space Cowboys
    It's a rare pleasure to see these senior citizens given so much screen time, droopy butts and all.
  15. Coyote Ugly
    A work of top-shelf schlock.
  16. Hollow Man
    If only the rest of the movie were as good as its cast.
  17. Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    The bloom is off the rose due to cynical rehash.
  18. Girl on the Bridge
    Leaves you with a bland message -- titillation may get your wicky-wack going but love and partnership stay the course -- but the way it gets you there is divine.
  19. Wonderland
    With acting as good as this, Wonderland gives you all the expected pleasures of eavesdropping on the intimate lives of others.
  20. The Wind Will Carry Us
    "Nothing happening" is everything happening between the lines, in the gap created between what is unstated onscreen and what we bring to the story ourselves.
    • L.A. Weekly
  21. Thomas and the Magic Railroad
    If you're above the target age of 5, Thomas may coax you into a naplike stupor.
  22. Loser
    Squeak(s) by to make Loser justify the price of admission.
  23. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    It's a testimony to the integrity and poignancy of Tammy Faye herself that she comes off as a cool, even complex, woman.
  24. $pent
    Lamely engineered and thoroughly exploited tragedy.
  25. Alice et Martin
    Miraculous photography.
  26. What Lies Beneath
    At once illogical and insultingly stupid, filled with dead-end twists and the sort of dialogue that makes a mockery of actual adult relations.
  27. Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    Only a 10-year-old could parse the plot.
  28. Benjamin Smoke
    Poignant portrait.
  29. The In Crowd
    Lifeless, desultory slog.
  30. The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me
    Drake draws us in, digging deep to track the occasionally divine, always ridiculous journey that is big-city gay life.
