  1. Requiem for a Dream
    Locks in on its self-destructive subjects so precisely, it's almost unbearable to watch.
  2. Bootmen
    What sets Bootmen apart from the vast competition is its exuberant, sexy tap-dancing, but that's mostly relegated to the grand finale.
  3. Girlfight
    Uplifting and moving in a traditional Hollywood way, while also seeming as raw and unfiltered as cinema vérité.
  4. The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy
    It's the first mainstream gay movie that feels totally comfortable in its shoes.
  5. Barenaked in America
    Ought to suit fans just fine.
  6. Remember the Titans
    History as filtered through the faux-liberal prism of Hollywood's dream factory, and an insult, I believe, to the people who actually carried the fight and endured the pain for civil rights.
  7. Beautiful
    About the only plausible element in the entire movie is bratty Vanessa's loathing of "Aunt" Mona, whom she sees as a vacuous over-reacher.
  8. The Great Dance: A Hunter's Story
    Never shies away from either the beauty or the cruelty of the hunt.
  9. Best in Show
    When it's funny, Best is hilarious.
  10. The Tavern
    Won't change the world, but thanks to its casual intimacy, it was a risk worth taking.
  11. Prince of Central Park
    Awkwardly plotted drama about a runaway child in Central Park.
  12. The Specials
    A genially mellow, consistently entertaining spoof.
  13. The Fantasticks
    The deliberate simplicity that works so well at the Sullivan Street Theater seems flat, anachronistic and almost spooky on the big screen.
  14. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Although it's recycled from start to finish, there are some decent jokes laced throughout, plus enough gore to satisfy the most bloodthirsty tastes.
  15. Woman on Top
    Gets the proportions all wrong -- too much magic, not enough realism.
  16. Double Parked
    Kinsella, in his feature debut, milks cliches, caricatures and an unlikely set of coincidences to tie things up in a neat bundle.
  17. Dancer in the Dark
    What is meant to be an innovative, cutting-edge musical melodrama is so jumbled, irrational and amateurish that it makes dinner theater look like the Old Vic.
  18. Left Luggage
    Krabbe attempts to stuff too many themes and subplots into the story.
  19. Chutney Popcorn
    Her story (Ganatra) -- and the rest of the gifted, multicultural cast that brings it to life -- represents another step in the evolving face of film.
  20. Twilight: Los Angeles
    Forces the audience to rethink the riots in new and difficult ways, to find empathy and revulsion where it might not have known they existed.
  21. Under Suspicion
    There is undeniable pleasure in watching these pros at work, but the murky depths of the soul can make for a dreary two hours.
  22. Tigerland
    A strong, gritty, powerful piece of film making, and one of the three or four best movies made about the Vietnam era.
  23. The Price of Air
    In this unpleasant mess of a movie, a heroin-like drug called "blue" is said to be "more addictive than air."
  24. A Piece of Eden
    All the full-blown wackiness turns a rather sweet movie into one that's decidedly overripe.
  25. Human Resources
    The result is an undeniable and effective authenticity.
  26. Goya in Bordeaux
    While it's visually stunning, the pretentiousness makes it hard to take seriously.
  27. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    Harris brings into focus a nearly forgotten success story, filling in another blank in the ultimate mosaic of the 20th century's greatest tragedy.
  28. 30 Days
    A hit-and-miss romantic comedy.
  29. Crime and Punishment in Suburbia
    Sloppy, self-satisfied and surprisingly heartfelt.
  30. Bait
    It may be a dismal comedy thriller, but Antoine Fuqua's Bait has one piece of bait that's definitely appealing: Jamie Foxx.
