  1. Crazy/Beautiful
    An impressive portrait of the migraine of teenage girlhood, and also works on the more modest level of teen romance.
  2. A.I. Artificial Intelligence
    Most of its features work fine, and it will dazzle you with its tricks and illusions. But it is not what it claims to be on the package.
  3. Come Undone
    There isn't much here besides two self-absorbed kids.
  4. Lumumba
    Gives a white-knuckled, you-are-there account of a politician's dilemma, one whose repercussions are still felt in Africa.

  5. Baby Boy
    Despite the audience pandering -- not just in its violence, but in its wall-to-wall sexual vulgarity -- there are terrific elements in Baby Boy.
  6. Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade
    Dubbed for U.S. audiences, the film has suffered in translation.
  7. LaLee's Kin: The Legacy of Cotton
    Its simple, straightforward storytelling makes mincemeat of the idea that, gee, if these people just worked a little harder and got motivated, they, too, could get a piece of the American Dream.
  8. The Princess and the Warrior
    Princess is far more contemplative than "Run Lola Run," far less energized, and the little tricks of fate that made his last film so unique seem like sophomoric affectations here.
  9. Chain Camera
    Often tedious, sometimes fascinating anthology.
  10. The Fast and the Furious
    Unless you live and breathe exhaust fumes, there isn't much to sustain a viewer through a lame story and dialogue so pathetic.
  11. Dr. Dolittle 2
    Pure situation comedy, and it's still fresh enough to provoke laughs.
  12. Saudate for the Future
    It's sort of like getting off the plane in a strange place without a guide. We can figure it out, but it takes some work, and the music is more of a distraction than an aid.
  13. Life and Debt
    This is a sophisticated and unsettling documentary marred only by a voice-over taken from the writings of Jamaica Kincaid.
  14. Russian Doll
    Baldly superficial, it probably should have been given a less demanding metaphor to live up to.
  15. Auggie Rose
    Goldblum, who has made psychological confusion his actor's stock-in-trade, gives Nolan's behavior just enough credibility to keep his quest alive for us, and Heche gives a delightfully unaffected performance as Lucy.
  16. The Adventures of Felix
    Perhaps simply discovering a film so dedicated to a different perspective is adventure enough.
  17. Down from the Mountain
    Good music stands alone, and the documentary is jaunty fun.
  18. Songcatcher
    For a film expressly about an underappreciated culture, there are some boulder-size cliches rolling down these hills.
  19. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
    Has all the appeal of a video game without the joystick. All you can do is watch. It's noisy and moves fast, but if you can't play, why pay?
  20. Une journée d'Andrei Arsenevitch
    If you're looking for either insight or even just an introduction into the mind of a great artist, "One Day" is worth the effort.
  21. Sexy Beast
    Noir has never been this bright.
  22. La grande strada azzurra
    In Wide Blue Road, his (Montand) character and the wages of desperation are much more complex. Here is the real lost Atlantis.
  23. Divided We Fall
    Parts of the movie play like French farce, but ultimately Hrebejk uses very simple cadences to unveil, movingly, the big picture.
  24. Swordfish
    Not all cartoon violence; there's cartoon nudity, too. Berry was paid a well-publicized $500,000 bonus to bare her breasts in the movie.
  25. Dead or Alive
    Takashi is a master of the jagged quick cut and the shocker finish, and his head-spinning story is pumped up with almost more bravado than a single screen can handle.
  26. Let It Snow
    Despite a subpar script and performances, this minor indie entry does possess a rather touching belief in its own charm.
  27. Evolution
    Half a barrel of laughs. The other half is made of slime.
  28. The Anniversary Party
    A caustic, funny, low-budget treat, shot on digital video.
  29. Atlantis: The Lost Empire
    The idea that every animated feature from Disney is an instant classic officially springs a leak with the noisily disappointing Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
  30. Bride of the Wind
    There's great music and lovely settings, but the filmmakers have done little more with their subject than reiterate the Britannica's description of her.
