  1. Dogma
    As funny as a lot of the film is, Dogma remains as frustratingly uneven as the rest of Smith's work.

  2. Felicia's Journey
    All of Egoyan's movies have revolved around characters with damaged, fragile psyches, but rarely have they been illustrated as deftly -- and as gracefully -- as in Felicia's Journey.

  3. Anywhere But Here
    Light on plot but heavy on observation: Wang concentrates on exploring the unseen ways in which mother and daughter rely on each other.

    Where's Marlowe?
    Melding multiple genres, the movie is certainly funny, but the admirable, reckless energy that makes it worthwhile for much of the running time eventually peters out.
  5. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    May be the grandest looking film ever made on the subject, but it lacks the most essential element of all: passion.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Light It Up
    The protagonists of Light It Up seem strangely tender and vulnerable, and the movie, if heavy-handed at times, does a remarkable job of making their plight moving.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back!
    What a mere adult reviewer has to say about this 70-minute film is probably irrelevant. Pokémon fans will see it -- and love it -- regardless.
  8. The Bachelor
    It's up to O'Donnell to carry the show, and he's simply not up to the task.
    • Miami Herald
  9. The Bone Collector
    The plot and characters are simultaneously far-fetched and cliched, the dialogue has that jocular, slightly slower than sitcom ring, and the ending is a righteously cheesy letdown.

    Last Night
    A slight movie, and in the end you wish it said a little more, but it is also a startlingly honest production. When it's all over, you can't imagine it being any other way.
  11. The Insider
    A big, bold movie that gets at undeniable truths about the way no one, no matter how powerful, is immune from manipulation.
  12. The Legend of 1900
    A muddled fantasy revolving around a really good cruise ship piano player, doesn''t live up to its title.

  13. Music of the Heart
    Streep is simply amazing to behold, an actress who invests every fiber of her being -- every gesture, every inflection, every strand of hair -- into her performance.
  14. Being John Malkovich
    This is the most impressive directorial debut since"Reservoir Dogs." Being John Malkovich is weird, all right-- the best kind of weird, the kind you haven't seen before.
  15. Three to Tango
    Dismayingly predictable and rote, a simple premise played out in the most obvious way possible.

    Body Shots
    It's not the sort of movie you watch; it's the sort that assaults you.
    • Miami Herald
  17. Crazy in Alabama
    Inadvertently does with the civil rights movement exactly what Banderas set out not to do: trivializes it.
    • Miami Herald
  18. The Best Man
    They're all too old to be considered a black brat pack, but you get a feeling The Best Man will lead to even better.
    • Miami Herald
  19. Bringing Out the Dead
    A relentless descent into a psychedelic hell, a rambunctious feel-bad epic.

    Bats
    Dumb cliches run amok.
    • Miami Herald
    • 37 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The Story of Us
    Too easily, and predictably, resolves itself.
    • Miami Herald
  22. Joe the King
    14-year-old Noah Fleiss gives a performance that's every bit as astonishing as Haley Joel Osment's work in "The Sixth Sense."
  23. Julien Donkey-Boy
    In his quest to capture truth and honesty, (Korine) has made a movie that is practically impossible to like.
  24. The Straight Story
    The Straight Story truly is one from the heart, and it is wonderful.
  25. Fight Club
    As a piece of storytelling, Fight Club is a bit of a dud: It's a good 15 minutes too long, and the tension doesn't build the way you wish it would.
  26. Random Hearts
    Gives romance a bad name.
  27. The Limey
    Style is the main attraction in The Limey -- it's as close to experimental filmmaking as mainstream movies get -- but the film works well when taken simply as a pure revenge drama, too.
  28. Superstar
    So thunderously unfunny...There is no reason for an 82-minute movie to feel so very, very long.
  29. Boys Don't Cry
    A remarkable movie that merits a place alongside "The Executioner's Song" and "In Cold Blood" as an unforgettable depiction of tragedy in the heartland.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Bandits
    A confused mess of music video montages drowns out the rest of the action, depicting the foursome in a variety of sexy romps that clash with the plot.
