  1. Cure
    Kurosawa may be considered the genius, but his movie would go nowhere without its extraordinary leading man.
  2. Tokyo Eyes
    This amped-up Japanese thriller is a fairly diverting tale of romantic and cultural alienation.
  3. Jackpot
    Shows that there's a limit to how much mileage one can get from offbeat, creepy and symbiotic.
  4. Wet Hot American Summer
    The frantic proceedings are more likely to have you wishing this summer would just come to an end.
  5. Greenfingers
    This is not challenging filmmaking by any means, more like a comfortable old slipper. But it's a perennial that's guaranteed to please.
  6. Reykjavík
    Much of this is pretty funny, in its perverse, disorienting style, and there's an irrepressible sunniness to the relationship between Lola and Hlynur's mother.

  7. Brother
    Wretch of a B movie.
  8. America's Sweethearts
    The result is a back-lot studio tour that's not exactly good-natured, but terrific fun and it gives the ensemble cast plenty of clowning opportunities.
  9. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
    The production is fantastically funny, high-energy camp, punctuated by Trask's infectious score and by Mitchell, dressing in a succession of wigs twice the size of his body.
  10. Ghost World
    Funny, insightful, unpredictable and blessed with pitch-perfect performances, Ghost World is one of the year's best movies.
  11. Jurassic Park III
    Anything, Steven, anything would be better than making us watch the same movie again.
  12. Downtown 81
    Alternates between being amusingly pretentious and studiously dull.

  13. The Score
    As a film, The Score may not add up to much, but take it apart and it's something to see.
  14. Made
    None of the criminal skulduggery feels quite right, but the comic bits between Bobby (Favreau) and Ricky (Vaughn) are freewheeling fun.
  15. Legally Blonde
    Like all blond jokes, Legally Blonde is basically meanspirited, and that's when it's funniest.
  16. Bully
    That the actors can work under such scrutiny is amazing, and they are superb. The standout is Brad Renfro as Marty, the kid most under the thumb of the neighborhood bully.
  17. Adanggaman
    This one uses sweeping compositions of nearly solitary figures as a reminder of what individuals stood to lose, and an auction scene is horrifying -- some livestock and a basket of everyday items are exchanged for a man's future.
  18. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
    You watch with amazement their physical movements, how closely their lips match their overly precise, prerecorded dialogue, yet they're not human enough to get us past the stunt factor and lost in the drama.
  19. Everybody's Famous!
    A delightful comedic twist on Martin Scorsese's "King of Comedy."
  20. Kiss of the Dragon
    The action scenes, including one on that tourist sightseeing staple, the Bateau Mouche, were directed by Cory Yuen with some creative touches, including a hail of chopsticks during a fight in a restaurant kitchen.
  21. Off the Hook
    Unlike most inner-city stories that come out of Hollywood, this feels like the real thing.
  22. The Vertical Ray of the Sun
    Here's the downside, and it's not just me: You need a scorecard to keep track of the sisters, their brother, two husbands, a boyfriend, two (or three?) extramarital lovers.
  23. Lost and Delirious
    Sophisticated in that European way and predictable in that Hollywood way.
  24. Jump Tomorrow
    An enjoyable trip, as long as you don't mind traveling light.
  25. Cats & Dogs
    As delicious as this premise is, Cats & Dogs is about as funny as a hairball left on your pillow.
  26. Scary Movie 2
    The Worst Comedy of the Year race heats up today with the release of Keenen Ivory Wayans' Scary Movie 2. This one is so bad, even Adam Sandler will be impressed.
  27. The Crimson Rivers
    More amiably mindless summer distraction than just about anything Hollywood has to offer this season.
  28. Pandaemonium
    Treats the poets not as creative equals but as a groundbreaking genius and a jealous, vindictive hack. Wordsworth is Salieri to Coleridge's Mozart.
  29. The Closet
    A farce nearly as cracked as his previous "The Dinner Game."
  30. Pootie Tang
    Pretty thin feature-film subject. But the silliness is so contagious that it doesn't matter.
