  1. Crush
    What Crush lacks in substance and originality, it makes up for with sheer likability.
  2. The Rookie
    Carries an undeniable follow-your-field-of-dreams appeal.
  3. Time Out
    The movie isn't a thriller, but it has the tension of a thriller, and its cool, icy tone, deliberate pacing and clean, antiseptic lines are reminiscent of Kubrick and Antonioni.
  4. The Piano Teacher
    The result is a gripping psychological thriller that, while lacking the power of "Funny Games," is still the work of a master.
  5. Death to Smoochy
    Death to Smoochy? Yes, please.
  6. Panic Room
    It's pure popcorn entertainment, and it's pure formula, too: It's already been described, somewhat derisively, as Home Alone for grown-ups, which is not entirely off the mark.
  7. Blade II
    It's all speed, movement and blood -- lots and lots of blood.
  8. Son of the Bride
    Offers a rose-colored picture of life, but one that Campanella makes ring true.
  9. Pauline and Paulette
    With touches of humor throughout, the gentle and peaceful film never becomes depressing or sad.
  10. Promises
    The impact of Promises comes from the openness of the children.
  11. Resident Evil
    Such a bad movie that its luckiest viewers will be seated next to one of those ignorant pinheads who talk throughout the show.
  12. Y Tu Mamá También
    Unabashedly frank in its depiction of sex -- too frank, probably, for more discreet viewers -- but it's never exploitive or seedy.
  13. Showtime
    No matter how much good will the actors generate, Showtime eventually folds under its own thinness.

    Harrison's Flowers
    It's that very savagery -- not its love-can-conquer-all theme -- that makes Harrison's Flowers worth picking.
  15. Festival in Cannes
    Even the women in Festival in Cannes feel more like sketches than fully realized people -- the aging actress, the naive hopeful, the newly minted starlet -- leaving you nothing but the showbiz satire to chew on.
  16. The Time Machine
    Most of Wells' details are there, and so is the basic premise, but the soul of the thing -- the point -- is missing.
  17. All About the Benjamins
    It's fun to watch the stocky, scowling Ice Cube and skinny, jittery Epps play off each other; they click on screen.
  18. We Were Soldiers
    We Were Soldiers feels strangely irrelevant -- a well-acted, well-crafted and inconsequential visit to woefully familiar territory.
  19. Borstal Boy
    An important and interesting story, but the reform school itself never seems terribly harsh.
  20. 40 Days and 40 Nights
    The quality writing, delivered by likable Hartnett and his talented co-stars, makes up for the sometimes flat production. A richly humorous background is provided by well-played eccentric minor characters.
  21. Stolen Summer
    The best story here is the one about how Stolen Summer made it to the screen; that's more compelling than anything that happens in Pete's world.
  22. Mean Machine
    Disappointingly straightforward remake.
  23. The Cherry Orchard
    While Cacoyannis' film may not be totally faithful to the master's pen, for literature students and theater lovers, this Cherry Orchard is a rare treat.
  24. Queen of the Damned
    The original rock songs on the soundtrack, which are supposed to make Lestat ''bigger than Elvis,'' are terrible -- a common challenge for movies about fictional musicians.
  25. Monsoon Wedding
    Ebullient, joyous film.
  26. Dragonfly
    No atmosphere, no tension -- nothing but Costner, flailing away. It's a buggy drag.
  27. Hart's War
    The movie's exploration of prejudice within the military is certainly on target, but it's presented with all the finesse of a classroom civics lesson.
  28. Crossroads
    Young girls are the only ones likely to enjoy this vapid road-trip movie.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Scratch
    Mesmerizing.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Return to Never Land
    As handsome and playful as the movie often is, it's another example of the let's-further-exploit-a-hit genre.
