  1. The Original Kings of Comedy
    It's not so much good material as divinely inspired delivery.
  2. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    An entrancing experience for Potter fans. It's a carefully crafted, dreamy immersion in a world that feels snugly familiar even when evil intrudes.

    Chicken Run
    Funny, even thrilling.
  4. Bus 174
    It is to Padilha's enormous credit that he steadfastly kicks aside our own culturally imposed frames of reference, insisting that we see the truth, and the humanity, within this very real story.
  5. The French Connection
    The French Connection is pure dynamite. Its trigger-fast, explosive scenes and high-tension chase sequences (the one in “Bullitt” pales by comparison) will have you literally gasping for breath.
  6. After the Life
    We're treated to two smashing performances from Morel and Blanc, and all of the mysteries raised before are satisfyingly resolved.
  7. Festival Express
    A raucous, riveting account of the greatest party you were never invited to.
  8. The Color of Paradise
    Another perfect little gem from Iran in which the simplest story unleashes a torrent of emotion.
  9. Apocalypse Now
    Coppola, with his bravura style of direction, has created a movie of harrowing intensity and staggering power. But if you accept the belief that art should enlighten and illuminate as well as arouse the emotions, I’m afraid that Apocalypse Now does not qualify as great art.
  10. Spider-Man 3
    With nifty new villains, a revived Green Goblin, plus $300 million worth of aerial special effects, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 is definitely good to go.
  11. 3:10 to Yuma
    Unlike Glenn Ford, a soft-spoken studio star who was cast against type as Wade 50 years ago, Crowe is a perfect fit. Not because of his bad boy behavior offscreen, but because he can blend charm and menace better than anyone.
  12. Together
    Funny gem.
  13. Dick
    Dunst and Williams...turn ditsiness into a frenetic comic duet.
  14. Waydowntown
    Maybe you have to have experienced one of these anti-weather urban cocoons to appreciate the concept of the film, and the prickly people who populate it.
  15. No End in Sight
    The most compelling and least partisan of all the Iraq documentaries.
  16. All or Nothing
    No picnic to watch -- Leigh's camera is unsentimental and unsparing.
  17. Dark Days
    Remarkable first film.
  18. Thirteen Days
    An excellent movie about a real-life nail-biter, forcefully acted, true to its period and directed with clarity.
  19. The Mummy
    Even if The Mummy is imitation Spielberg, it offers more bang for the buck than we're used to getting.
  20. Boys Don't Cry
    A powerful, deeply moving tale, immeasurably facilitated by the performance of relatively unknown Hilary Swank as Brandon...smartly shot and edited, and the performances are dead-on.

    Antz
    A bug-eyed marvel. [2 October 1998, p. 56]
    • New York Daily News
  22. Brooklyn Rules
    Michael Corrente's Brooklyn Rules takes him to the mean streets of Gotti country, circa 1985, and it's another gem.
  23. Unfaithful
    The movie doesn't stoop to cheap psychoanalysis and must be commended for a bravely ambiguous ending. But most of the credit goes to Lane, who is simply extraordinary as a woman whose body is at war with her conscience.

  24. Offside
    Director Jafar Panahi has long been an eloquent and passionate representative for Iranian women. But judging by this deeply poignant comedy, they may not need a mouthpiece much longer.
  25. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
    Deliriously inventive.
  26. A Clockwork Orange
    His film may offend (it very nearly makes one nauseous) but there is no doubting the fact that it is the end product of a brilliant, highly original mind.
  27. Tigerland
    A strong, gritty, powerful piece of film making, and one of the three or four best movies made about the Vietnam era.
  28. Ghost World
    Funny, insightful, unpredictable and blessed with pitch-perfect performances, Ghost World is one of the year's best movies.
  29. Cinévardaphoto
    A masterful collection of cinematic essays.
  30. King Leopold's Ghost
    This brilliant documentary, which shows not only how Belgian King Leopold II made the huge and resource-rich central African Congo his own private reserve, but how his legacy of exploiting the land and brutalizing its people continues in modern times.
