  1. Girls Rock!
    A must-see both for girls and the grownups who love them.
  2. Romeo Must Die
    This is not for the Merchant-Ivory crowd, but action fans will feel their pulses quicken.
  3. The Safety of Objects
    Troche is most interested in exploring the secret lives hidden inside freshly painted Colonials, and what she finds is that everyone's secret is exactly the same: a crushing inability to connect with the people closest to them.
  4. Breach
    Ray and his writers found plenty of material to fill Cooper's capable hands. They've turned what must have been a tedious investigation into a sharp cat-and-mouse game between Hanssen and Eric O'Neill (Ryan Phillippe).
  5. The Agronomist
    Until he was shot to death in 2000, Haitian radio journalist Jean Dominique was a lone voice for truth and freedom in his politically riven country.
  6. The Jaundiced Eye
    Both frustrating and instructive.
    • New York Daily News
  7. Mr. & Mrs. Smith
    The screen smokes with sexual heat. But what's really erotic is how much fun the actors seem to be having.
  8. The Full Monty
    Simple, joyful and downright innocent movie.
  9. Monster House
    A captivating piece of visual wizardry. The house, which eventually frees itself from its moorings and chases after our trio of tweener heroes, is a genuine original.
  10. Merci Pour Le Chocolat
    Not since Cary Grant offered Joan Fontaine a gleaming glass of milk has a bedtime toddy looked as suspicious as it does in Claude Chabrol's wittily enigmatic Merci pour le chocolat.
  11. Disturbia
    What Disturbia lacks in complexity, it makes up for in witty jokes, sneaky jolts and a timeless lesson: If you've got windows, someone's always watching.
  12. The Boss of It All
    With echoes of "Dave," in which Kevin Kline takes over for the comatose U.S. President he resembles, Kristoffer begins to feel the power given to him and to make his own decisions, leading to some hilarious situations and an unpredictable ending.
  13. The Take
    Their ultimate success is a classic victory for the little guy.
  14. A Beautiful Mind
    This is another brilliant performance by Crowe, who is to body language what Meryl Streep is to accents.
  15. Princesas
    The actresses create wonderfully rich characters, and Luis Callejo, as Caye's unknowing boyfriend Manuel, and Antonio Durán, as the sadistic civil servant, fill out the very strong cast.
  16. Sister Helen
    A memorable portrait of a true New York character, Rob Fruchtman and Rebecca Cammisa's documentary ably captures the blazing force at its center.
  17. Los Angeles Plays Itself
    What Andersen does best is capture the sense of growing up and living among the landmarks of Hollywood's authentic back lot.
  18. Ocean's Twelve
    Whatever substance there is of Ocean's Twelve fades faster than invisible ink. But it's not the kind of movie you watch for plot details. It's really about spending two hours on that Lake Como speedboat, relaxing with pals.
  19. Late Marriage
    Whether this smart, sexy and unsparing film is a hilarious comedy or a poignant drama is a matter of personal opinion — and experience. But if you've ever felt both baffled and blessed by your own family, this "Marriage" is one event you won't want to miss.
    • New York Daily News
  20. Who Killed the Electric Car?
    In a sad twist of technological birth and infanticide, General Motors - with assists from the oil industry, the Bush administration, cowardly California energy officials and apathetic consumers - doomed the future car to the literal scrap heap of history.
  21. American Pie
    The successful bits, along with an amiable cast of losers and their prom-night prey, make American Pie a winner.
  22. The Barbarian Invasions
    A deeply felt celebration of the life force, as embodied in Girard's fierce performance as a man who may not have done all he could, but had an enviably great time on the way.
  23. A Love Divided
    If it weren't based on a true story, you might suspect Sydney McCartney's A Love Divided was created by a panel of militant Irish Protestants.
  24. Evelyn
    The story is predictable, even bland, but the stellar cast, detailed set design and abundance of good humor elevate it from the typical feel-good movie. It makes for intelligent counterprogramming against some of the season's harder-edged fare.
  25. Fido
    It's definitely the most fun you'll have with the undead this week.
  26. Multiplicity
    A finely performed, breezily directed, very funny comedy. [17 July 1996, p.33]
    • New York Daily News
  27. My Architect
    Apparently Louis Kahn was not much of a father, raconteur or businessman. But he was a genius, and he left his mark on all the people whose lives he touched.
  28. Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme
    Dispels myths about the "gangsta" aura that clings to rap and shows this poetry of the streets in all its different forms: social protest, entertainment and aggression.
  29. 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.
  30. District B13
    Besson takes a few clumsy stabs at political relevance, but it's clear that grand themes are not his priority. That's okay: His charismatic leads are martial-arts masters, and their breathtaking stunts smoothly lift the movie every time it stumbles.
