  1. Drowning Mona
    Has a made-for-TV smallness (it will probably be a big hit on cable), and it never quite vanquishes the nagging suspicion that you could be spending your time better elsewhere.
    • Miami Herald
  2. The Next Best Thing
    A fluffy, feel-bad drama, with some serious things to say about the viability of homosexual men as fathers and role models.
  3. Claire Dolan
    Claire Dolan leaves you as unfulfilled as Claire feels after having sex with one of her johns.
    • Miami Herald
  4. Wonder Boys
    A wonderfully rumpled, loose comedy about the paralyzing fear of failure.
  5. Reindeer Games
    May not reinvent the wheel, but its expertly delivered thrills would hit the spot at any time of year.
  6. Pitch Black
    Just may be the most entertainingly derivative movie of the millennium so far.
  7. Beautiful People
    Often grim, but never nihilistic: Even at its darkest, Dizdar gives the movie an optimistic bounce. The movie is often shockingly funny, too.

    • 33 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Hanging Up
    Meg's as cute as ever, but empty Hanging Up never connects.
    • Miami Herald
  9. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    If there's a flaw, it's that Kempner has fashioned more a hagiography than true biography.
    • Miami Herald
  10. The Whole Nine Yards
    Sporadically amusing.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Not One Less
    Zhang, who tried to make his actors as unaware of the camera as possible, lets the story evolve slowly and deliberately.
  12. Boiler Room
    Boiler Room's behind-the-scenes veracity makes it highly compelling.
    • Miami Herald
    • 53 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The Tigger Movie
    Simple, endearing entertainment for the little ones.
  14. The Beach
    Always a joy to look at -- and even if the story isn't half as profound as the filmmakers think it is.
  15. Scream 3
    Just isn't very scary.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    The Big Tease
    An inept comedy.
    • Miami Herald
  17. The Cup
    Past the foreign mysticism and eccentricity of Tibetan Buddhism to portray its characters as unmistakably, identifiably human.
    • Miami Herald
  18. Isn't She Great
    Just plain bad. Really, really bad.
  19. Eye of the Beholder
    Pretentious, perplexing and plain rock-dumb movie.
    • Miami Herald
    • 61 Metascore

    My Dog Skip
    A slice of '40s-vintage, small town Mississippi life, full of laughs and sweetness and a sorrow that may send more sensitive little ones home crying.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Next Friday
    One of the freshest, nastiest comedies to come around in quite some time.
  22. Fantasia 2000
    It's so rare to be swept away by a presentation of this magnitude. By all means, go.
    • Miami Herald
  23. Close-Up
    If Close-Up is not much to look at, it certainly enthralls the mind. [09 Feb 1996, p.16G]
    • Miami Herald
  24. The Hurricane
    Milks Carter's story for maximum "inspirational" value, and at times the movie skirts dangerously close to afterschool-special territory.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The Third Miracle
    It's not particularly plausible or well-developed, but it does allow the two seasoned actors to share a sexually tense, vodka-fueled scene at Helen's grave.
  26. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
    Brings the viewer up close and personal with the face of evil.
  27. Play It to the Bone
    If you really love "Bull Durham," don't go near Play It to the Bone. It will break your heart.
  28. The Talented Mr. Ripley
    Delivers all the expected moments of high suspense --that is worthy of Hitchcock
  29. Any Given Sunday
    If this rousing, technically dazzling movie doesn't get you going, then you probably didn't like football to being with.
    • Miami Herald
  30. Angela's Ashes
    Something of Angela's Ashes does gets lost in translation -- mainly, its fiercely funny voice.
