    The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    Look beyond the perfunctory dinosaur flatulence jokes, and Viva Rock Vegas is really quite sweet and clever.

  2. Timecode
    This is a big, audacious stunt of a movie -- pointless, perhaps, but incredibly fun to play with.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Where the Heart Is
    Everything that cynical moviegoers despise and the tender-minded adore.
  4. Croupier
    Don't let it slip out of town without getting a look at it.
  5. The Last September
    Sad confusions and emotional disconnections are what the story is all about.
  6. U-571
    It''s loud and flashy and fun to look at, but you''ll grow tired of it very quickly.
    • 73 Metascore

    Love & Basketball
    Never really more than an amiable Cinderella story, but it leavens its subject with such heart, such idealism and such pure eroticism that it's nearly a total success.
  8. Keeping the Faith
    Does more than pay lip service to its subtexts.
  9. Set Me Free
    Sports a cool, early '60s soundtrack of hit-radio pop. But, make no mistake, this is no "American Graffiti."
  10. American Psycho
    Has the feverish intensity of a bad dream, leavened with a subversive sense of humor that is both sophisticated and cracked.

  11. Where the Money Is
    The unrelentingly dull Where the Money Is tests his (Newman's) legendary charisma in a way no actor could overcome.
  12. East Is East
    O'Donnell has a fine eye for the small details of life and the movie feels rich, warm and real .
    • Miami Herald
  13. The Filth and the Fury
    It's just as voyeuristically enjoyable as those VH-1 has-been bios but without the soft-focus star shots and with far more edge, energy and originality.
    • Miami Herald
  14. Rules of Engagement
    It's bottom-feeder entertainment wrapped up in high-minded airs.
  15. Return to Me
    As light and fluffy as it is, Return to Me still proves surprisingly inviting.
  16. Price of Glory
    Moves too slowly, running out of gas in the later rounds of the plot.
  17. The Road to El Dorado
    Proves there are some things cartoons can't do better than live action after all.
  18. Beau Travail
    If only Beau Travail had a more dramatic edge, this nicely done film wouldn't have felt so long.
    • Miami Herald
  19. High Fidelity
    Ultimately too slight for its own good: It's a genial little doodle, light on plot and heavy on quotable, pithy observations.
    • Miami Herald
  20. Here on Earth
    Corny? You bet. But it also proves surprisingly inviting -- for a while, anyway.
    • Miami Herald
  21. Waking the Dead
    It's almost startling to see a film that believes in itself and its characters so deeply.
    • 20 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Whatever It Takes
    If you can summon up the resolve to search, there is not a single honest moment in all of Whatever It Takes.
  23. Romeo Must Die
    So needlessly convoluted, so crammed with subplots within subplots, it simply forgets about its gangland "Romeo & Juliet" premise.
  24. Erin Brockovich
    Roberts inhabits the character with a gravity and poignancy that she had never even hinted at before.
    • Miami Herald
  25. Beyond the Mat
    Suggests that professional wrestling is more than a multibillion-dollar industry: It's also a way of life.
    • Miami Herald
    • 39 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Final Destination
    Stoops well below substituting style for substance.
    • Miami Herald
  27. Mission to Mars
    A $100 million production of a 10-cent script, is so clunkily written, so bereft of any engaging ideas or emotions, you'd think De Palma would have sneered at it on first reading and passed
  28. The Ninth Gate
    A devilish little comedy whose urbane, satirical humor will probably sail right over the heads of audiences weaned on Scream.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    What Planet Are You From?
    An unapologetically stupid and implausible movie, but in the best possible way -- it's so sure of itself, it wins you over.
  30. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    Jarmusch has never seemed quite this baffling -- or quite this dull.
