  1. Love & Basketball
    Makes hoops look like the sexiest game in town.
  2. Keeping the Faith
    A mostly accomplished first film, with precise comic timing and some hilarious moments.
  3. The Girl Next Door
    A fascinating fly-on-the-wall documentary.
  4. Set Me Free
    A slice of life that adds up to exactly the sum of its parts, no more, no less.
  5. The Specialist
    The Specialist allows Eichmann to convict himself, not of complicity in the Holocaust -- to that he pleads guilty, by reason of nationalism -- but as a man unfazed by his own inhumanity.
  6. American Psycho
    The real highlight is when Bateman and his co-workers compare custom business cards in a grueling, ego-shattering game of one-upmanship that is so linked to their sense of self it might as well be Russian roulette.
  7. 28 Days
    Not without missteps and the occasional mouthful of sugar, but it grows on you.
  8. Where the Money Is
    The film makers are so anxious to please their audience that they turn the last act into a preposterous cat-and-mouse game that nullifies the integrity of the story.
  9. Est - Ouest
    Feels like an old-fashioned movie in the way it deals with bold sacrifices made in the name of love, while its setting and chary view of the era's political machinations mark it as distinctly modern.
  10. Southpaw
    Less a complete story than a work-in-progress.
  11. The Filth and the Fury
    It's just twice as much as we need to know about the Sex Pistols.
  12. Joe Gould's Secret
    Holm is dazzling as the grubby little misfit, just a little brilliant and a little insane.
  13. Rules of Engagement
    Sometimes, movies would work better if you couldn't see them.
  14. Return to Me
    This romantic comedy is about a love that is destined to be, and it celebrates that warm huddle of caring and craziness called family.
  15. Ready to Rumble
    See it only if potty-training is still the most vivid life experience in your book of memories.
  16. Me Myself I
    A fascinating contrast in lifestyles.
  17. Black and White
    There's something deeper at play in the film, something psychologically foul, voyeuristic and personal.
  18. Price of Glory
    Fathers and sons with problems expressing their feelings makes for a story that is universal, and that has also been done to death. Thankfully, the boxing scenes are extensive and pack the appropriate punch.
  19. The Road to El Dorado
    Pretty much a road to nowhere.
  20. The Skulls
    Never graduates above the boneheaded.
  21. Beau Travail
    "Chocolat" was just a warmup for the stunning display of the male form against National Geographic settings in her new Beau Travail.

  22. High Fidelity
    When director Stephen Frears worked with (Jack Black), he must have yelled "Let 'er rip!" instead of "Action!"
  23. Here on Earth
    The three actors do their best to breathe life into their caricatured roles.
  24. Waking the Dead
    It's a romantic weepie.
  25. The Color of Paradise
    Another perfect little gem from Iran in which the simplest story unleashes a torrent of emotion.
  26. Such a Long Journey
    Seth, who played Nehru in the Oscar-winning "Gandhi," gives a subtly layered performance as a complex, tormented and very decent man in crisis.
  27. Buddy Boy
    If you want pretentious and unsavory, check out Buddy Boy.
  28. X
    About as many characters, dragons and force fields as "Pokémon" has pocket monsters, so it may be difficult for the uninitiated to keep track.
  29. Whatever It Takes
    A teen comedy so stupid that a long nose -- perhaps with a red bulb on it -- actually would have helped.
  30. Winter Sleepers
    Kinetic, sexy and full of meaningful coincidences and intertwined fates.
