  1. Turn It Up
    Hits hard and pulls no punches in telling its brutal story.
  2. Highlander: Endgame
    Looks sensational, moves like lightning. But its script (by Joel Soisson) makes no pretense about being logical or even comprehensible.
  3. Whipped
    Way too bleak to be funny, even as a contemporary satire of the battle of the sexes.
  4. Titanic Town
    An admirable, thoughtful venture, but it may leave you with the feeling that you've seen it all before.
    • Los Angeles Times
  5. Dark Days
    It's remarkable for where it takes us, how it takes us there.
  6. The Art of War
    This is a film that almost is not there.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    God's Army
    A sensitive and thoughtful probe into questions of faith and the difficulties faced by those who are called to teach others.
  8. Orfeu
    Totally captivating, as seductive as a samba.
  9. Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God... Be Back by Five
    You find Went to Coney Island sticking with you long after it's over.
    • Los Angeles Times
  10. Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    A film of much gentleness, tenderness and keen observation into the way laughter and pain have a way of colliding into each other.
    • Los Angeles Times
  11. The Crew
    So mild, so benign, its humiliation-to-vindication are so predictable and its old-folks jokes so feeble.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Bittersweet Motel
    A film without a framework, without a skeleton--a Phish philet, if you will.
  13. Solomon & Gaenor
    By the time the heavy-handed Solomon & Gaenor is over, it has become such a punishing exercise in the self-evident that one is left numb and eager for escape.
  14. Love & Sex
    Not quite original enough to make much of a dent in the marketplace, but it shows its stars to advantage.
  15. Bring It On
    Smart and sassy high school movie that's fun for all ages.
  16. The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack
    A warm and feisty documentary that is as much inquiry as it is tribute.
  17. Place Vendôme
    This complex, sophisticated and increasingly suspenseful tale of love and betrayal, intrigue and redemption, is as elegant as its star and its settings.
  18. The Cell
    Some movies make you sorry you've seen them, and The Cell is one of those. Creepy and horrific, it's a torture chamber film.
  19. Godzilla 2000
    Another traditional Japanese production, weakly plotted, woodenly acted and indifferently dubbed.
  20. Steal This Movie
    There might have been a better, more involving method of telling Hoffman's story, but it is expressed with a firm sense of commitment to accuracy and authenticity.
  21. The Original Kings of Comedy
    A dynamite concert film.
  22. Sunset Strip
    Moves smoothly amid a near-perfect period evocation, captured in an array of shifting moods.
  23. The Opportunists
    A small gem.
  24. Aimee & Jaguar
    With key scenes so vivid they barely feel scripted, this is more than a same-sex success, it's a most affecting, most sensual on-screen love affair, period.
  25. An Affair of Love
    A film as romantic as its title.
  26. Bless the Child
    Lapses into an exercise in foolishness.
  27. Cecil B. DeMented
    A fast, furious and funny fusillade of a movie.
  28. The Replacements
    A haphazard film about half as sophisticated as the average beer commercial.
  29. The Tao of Steve
    A constant, idiosyncratic pleasure that leaves us eager to see what the Goodmans and Logue will do next.
  30. The Tic Code
    Starts out self-consciously but gets better as it goes along, winding up as affecting as it is illuminating.
