  1. Romeo Must Die
    This is not for the Merchant-Ivory crowd, but action fans will feel their pulses quicken.
  2. Erin Brockovich
    Roberts carries the film in the best sense, by taking us on a human journey of genuine discovery and growth.
  3. Beyond the Mat
    Doesn't flinch from the serious stuff.
  4. Final Destination
    A mediocre fright-fest.
  5. Soft Fruit
    A slog to get through, but Jeanie Drynan's nuanced performance as the enduring matriarch makes it all worthwhile.
  6. Les convoyeurs attendent
    Poignant, eccentric comedy.

    The Disappearance of Finbar
    Nothing that makes much sense in Sue Clayton's strained fable about friendship, betrayal and the escapist dream of disappearing in the midst of a miserable patch of life. [17 Mar 2000]
    • New York Daily News
  8. Mission to Mars
    Earthlings beware: The dialogue and characters have less weight than bodies freed from gravity's grip.
  9. The Ninth Gate
    The movie falls apart toward the end as it enters "Eyes Wide Shut" territory, but until then, it's fun to see bookworms cast in the James Bond mode.
  10. Deterrence
    A taut and thought-provoking thriller .
  11. Condo Painting
    The film is otherwise a self-indulgent lark.
  12. What Planet Are You From?
    The film's asset, in a walk, is Bening, whose comic timing puts Shandling to shame.
  13. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    Perversely funny.
  14. Drowning Mona
    Excuse me, but didn't Bette Midler already play this role?
  15. The Next Best Thing
    Not even Rupert Everett is able to breathe life into soapy Thing.
  16. 3 Strikes
    This needlessly vulgar exercise in overuse of the n-word bills itself as a comedy. Even the outtakes over the closing credits don't live up to that.
  17. The Waiting Game
    Ken Liotti's script barely earns a C+.
  18. Mifune's Last Song
    Refreshingly nondogmatic.
  19. Wonder Boys
    Among the movie's oddball treats are Robert Downey Jr. as Grady's flamboyant editor and Rip Torn as a pedantic author and sermonizer known only as Q.
  20. Reindeer Games
    The material here, written by Ehren Kruger, is beneath banal, and the three leads are so miscast that it's like watching a dress charade.
  21. Judy Berlin
    Its leisurely pace and surreal poetry won't break box-office records, but will surely serve to introduce Mendelsohn as a major new talent.
  22. Pitch Black
    It has a distinctive look but a few too many recycled ideas; better luck on the next crash-landing.
  23. Beautiful People
    Behind the inspired wackiness is a story about how our warlike nature needs some changing before we can all live in relative harmony.
  24. Hanging Up
    Characters seem phony.
  25. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    Kempner demonstrates how the star's success and dignified bearing inspired a generation of Jews to fight through the ethnic barriers in all fields.
  26. The Whole Nine Yards
    It provides the first genuine laughs I've had at the movies in this young year.
  27. Not One Less
    It's an uplifting movie about the rewards of perseverance and community.
  28. Boiler Room
    Energetic, provocative.
  29. The Tigger Movie
    That there was no squirming among the kids at my screening may be the best recommendation of all.
  30. Cotton Mary
    An unsubtle allegory about a way of life withering on the vine.
