  1. The Shipping News
    The choice made by Kevin Spacey in taking on the role of Quoyle in the film adaptation of E. Annie Proulx's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Shipping News nearly sinks it. But not quite.
  2. Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
    A thoroughly entertaining animated comedy that's sweet enough for the youngest moviegoers, and smart enough for the most cynical chaperone.
  3. How High
    Dylan's stoner comedy barely manages to string together a story, but lucky for him, his two stars radiate charisma even when they're hidden behind clouds of smoke.
  4. A Song for Martin
    Sven Wollter and Viveka Seldahl give superb performances as the couple, a once-vigorous conductor and his orchestra's concertmistress. But soon ... well, you know the drill.
  5. A Beautiful Mind
    This is another brilliant performance by Crowe, who is to body language what Meryl Streep is to accents.
  6. The Majestic
    Has sentimental goo oozing from its opening frame, and the gunk gets so thick so fast, it's a wonder the projector doesn't freeze before the molasses-strapped finale.
  7. Joe Somebody
    An unimaginative schoolyard-bully comedy.

  8. Little Otik
    Must be the smartest -- and most disturbing -- movie about parenthood in ages.
    • New York Daily News
  9. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
    For Hobbitués and adventure fans of all other ages, it's the year's best thrill ride -- maybe the best film.
    • New York Daily News
  10. Iris
    A delicately upbeat, even humorous celebration of love and sacrifice.

  11. Lantana
    In addition to the strong script, the ensemble performances are topnotch, with no one hogging the limelight.
  12. The Royal Tenenbaums
    The performances are all terrific, but Gene Hackman is close to a career best as the family patriarch Royal, the most useless man you can't help loving.
  13. Kandahar
    Among the unforgettable images is that of artificial limbs floating to earth on parachutes, while below, one-legged men on crutches race each other to the prizes.
  14. Not Another Teen Movie
    Occasionally funny but ultimately desperate comedy.
  15. Vanilla Sky
    The title doesn't hint at the unsavory mess the film actually is.
  16. Behind the Sun
    The story, which was inspired by an Albanian novel and the Greek tragedies of Aeschylus, ends with a literary patness. But it's still a potent tale of fraternal love and the loss of innocence.
  17. Eban and Charley
    It's always admirable when a director decides to make a risky film. On the other hand, it's not quite as commendable to also make a boring one.
  18. Final
    The cat-and-mouse game between the patient and doctor and the coy is-he-or-isn't-he? game being played on us by the filmmakers becomes tiring.
  19. Segunda piel
    So sudsy it should have been rinsed off before being allowed into theaters.
  20. Baran
    Yet another deceptively simple, supremely moving film from Iran.
    • New York Daily News
  21. Princesa
    An evocative melancholy hangs over Princesa, Henrique Goldman's intermittently affecting tale.
    • New York Daily News
  22. Last Orders
    It is remarkably, unsentimentally dramatized by Fred Schepisi, courtesy of the pitch-perfect performances of its ensemble British cast.
    • New York Daily News
  23. No Man's Land
    Writer-director Danis Tanovic, a Bosnian who spent years documenting his homeland's turmoil, makes a bold feature-film debut with this funny, sobering message movie.
  24. Ocean's Eleven
    The movie tells you right up front you're going to get what you came for: big stars, winking inside jokes and a spin on something so familiar it doesn't matter that you don't buy it for one minute. You're not meant to.
  25. In July
    Everything you might want in a road movie: an off-the-cuff sense of adventure, a winningly scruffy charm and a whip-smart sense of humor.
  26. Tuvalu
    It may take a half-hour to get one's bearings, but there's a payoff in the subsequent charm of this nearly wordless, surreal comedy set in a decrepit bathhouse in Bulgaria.
    • New York Daily News
  27. The Business of Strangers
    A claustrophobic psychodrama.
  28. B-52
    The salvaging operations, and the scavenging of B-52 parts for retail recycling and junk art that seem to consume most of the film take it to tedium, and beyond.
  29. The Affair of the Necklace
    This sob story is a tough sell.
  30. Behind Enemy Lines
    There aren't many better examples of how commercial intuition sabotages story integrity in today's Hollywood.
