  1. Sugar & Spice
    A cheerleader spoof that starts rousingly, but ends up nearly as shallow as its easy-target subjects.
  2. Voyages
    Although Voyages is mapped with anguish and fear, director Emmanuel Finkiel's characters are survivors, and he never lets us forget it.
  3. Trolösa
    Hits so hard because it feels so real.

  4. Two Ninas
    Intermittently amusing.
  5. Amy
    Alana De Roma is going to be a tremendous star.
  6. The Wedding Planner
    Has a lot of nerve making fun of Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You," as the choice of newlyweds fated for divorce in 12 to 14 months. The Wedding Planner should have such a shelf life.
  7. R2PC: Road to Park City
    If you want to make a film, this is a great place to start. But if you just want to watch one, it's more of dead end.
  8. The Pledge
    Jack Nicholson in a performance that ranks among his best, yet leaves you feeling unfulfilled as never before.
  9. The Amati Girls
    Only a memorably commanding Ruehl transcends the limitations of her two-dimensional character.
  10. Scottsboro: An American Tragedy
    Film makers Barak Goodman and Daniel Anker dig deep into the story and its ramifications, exposing how the twin evils of racism and anti-Semitism combined to foment institutional injustice, and led — if a silver lining could be found — to the triumphs of the civil-rights movement two and three decades later.
  11. Snatch.
    The movie was snatched, all right, and Ritchie is the culprit.
  12. Panic
    A small gem in the postholiday depression.
  13. Double Take
    This dismally strained comedy defies laughs and doesn't contain an ounce of internal logic.
  14. Zheng hun qi shi
    Although rife with comic possibilities, The Personals develops into a somber tale of personal identity.
  15. Wadd: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes
    A relatively straightforward portrait of Holmes, using interviews with family members, friends, wives, X-film producers and his former co-stars.
  16. Save the Last Dance
    It's about as routine a movie as they come, but it features plenty of endorphin-releasing hip-hop choreography as Derek teaches Sara to get jiggy with it.
  17. Antitrust
    Becomes a very conventional suspense film, replete with virtually every cliche of the genre, some used more than once.
  18. The Claim
    Its sprawling canvas is mere backdrop for the most intimate of character studies -- a portrait of a man who chose material wealth and found emotional ruin.
  19. Chunhyangdyun
    A feast for the eyes. But not, alas, for the ears.
  20. Shadow of the Vampire
    Works on several playful levels. Most obviously, it is a horror movie in which life imitates art on a movie set.
  21. Traffic
    Borderline brilliant. Tackles the war on drugs from a kaleidoscope of perspectives.
  22. Malèna
    If Mussolini had a Monica Bellucci to inspire his troops, we might still be trying to take Palermo.
  23. Thirteen Days
    An excellent movie about a real-life nail-biter, forcefully acted, true to its period and directed with clarity.
  24. All the Pretty Horses
    Thornton, directing his first film since the minimalist "Sling Blade" (1996), has a much better grip on the material when he's focused on the scruffy desert landscape and the adventures of the two Texans.
  25. Vatel
    Too much chaos, not enough heart. Bad for the digestion.
  26. An Everlasting Piece
    Coming from a big shot like Levinson, An Everlasting Piece feels like a gently amusing but undeniably minor diversion that, for whatever reason, needed to be gotten out of his system.
  27. Before Night Falls
    A personal eulogy, from one artist to another, and an indictment of all systems of government that deny people the right to free expression and the full realization of their talent.
  28. Come te nessuno mai
    Charming, funny and poignant. But it's also a reminder that if we want an intelligent teen romance, we have to import it.
  29. The House of Mirth
    The stop-the-presses news from The House of Mirth is the number of fine performances from people you never knew had it in them.
  30. Cast Away
    The island phase of Hanks' performance is simply amazing.
