  1. Closing Escrow
    If you can watch it without weeping over your own predicament, you'll see some serious talent bursting out.
  2. Peau d'homme coeur de bête
    A crushingly dark vision of male rage and female vulnerability, Hélène Angel's accomplished first feature hits you like an anvil -- after it's all over.
  3. ATL
    Fresh and unexpected. It feels like a real window on the lives of disenfranchised youths - these are in South Atlanta - as they make their way in a society that doesn't cut them any breaks.
  4. Devils on the Doorstep
    Jiang's razor-sharp conclusions are less about the Japanese army or the Chinese government than about simple human nature.
  5. Safe Conduct
    A remarkable and moving account of a part of the French experience that needs more remembering and less forgetting.
  6. Pierrepoint
    This is a riveting story about a man who for years moonlighted as an anonymous hangman while holding a day job as a wholesale grocery delivery man.
  7. Starsky & Hutch
    The new buddy comedy movie that assumes the names of the series' characters and features the same hot-to-trot, tomato-red and shocking-white 1974 Ford Gran Torino is more fun than a Heidi Fleiss open house.
  8. I Know What You Did Last Summer
    It's killer, dude! [17 October 1997, p. 52]
    • New York Daily News
  9. Hotel Rwanda
    In condensing Rusesabagina's story, George has undoubtedly overstated the specific dramatic moments; the movie has more cliff-hangers than the "Indiana Jones" series.
  10. Me You Them
    The most extraordinary thing about Me You Them is that no one behaves as though anything remotely out of the ordinary is going on.
  11. Lumumba
    Gives a white-knuckled, you-are-there account of a politician's dilemma, one whose repercussions are still felt in Africa.
    • New York Daily News
  12. Triad Election
    Plenty of films owe a debt to "The Godfather," but it's rare to see inspiration used as successfully as it is here.
  13. Urbania
    Smart, psychologically complex film is an offbeat and effective tale.
  14. Fever Heat [re-release]
    Looks a lot like 1950s American gangster films -- particularly, John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle" -- but it's decidedly French in its sexual candor and moral laissez-faire.
  15. Space Cowboys
    The joy of Space Cowboys is in spending quality time with some favorite old actors who obviously enjoy working together.
  16. Bolivia
    Turns the dangerous monotony of poverty and unemployment into something nearly hypnotic.
  17. 13 Going on 30
    An unexpected pleasure, a buoyant comedy that will make you feel young again.
  18. Mad Love
    The sexy, psycho Mad Love is like a Spanish "The Story of Adele H.," in which a woman loves once and only once, to the point of self-destruction, in the days before Prozac.
  19. Thomas in Love
    You'd think it would be boring to stare at Thomas's computer screen so intently for 97 minutes, but the movie is eerily riveting.
    • New York Daily News
  20. Sisters in Law
    Because the film focuses entirely on the women's work, we learn too little about their personal histories. How did they even rise to such prominence in what appears to be an extremely patriarchal society?
  21. A Prairie Home Companion
    People unfamiliar with either man may think Altman is mocking Keillor and his 32-year-old radio program here. But, it is pure affection, and the movie is as much up-tempo, irresistible fun to watch as the show is to hear.
  22. Frankie and Johnny Are Married
    The result is a funny, tender, satisfying blend of fiction and cinema vérité.
  23. Spring Forward
    There's no question that the film's primary intent is to showcase its stars, but thanks to their perfectly attuned performances, it feels more real than self-conscious.
    • New York Daily News
  24. Remember Me, My Love
    Laura Morante gives a fiery, layered performance as the frustrated matriarch struggling to keep her clan together.
  25. Incantato
    Neri Marcore gives a beautifully understated performance.
  26. After Midnight
    Ferrario deft use of old silent-movie footage - especially Buster Keaton - makes After Midnight enchanting.
  27. The Last King of Scotland
    The story is fanciful, with grotesquely improbable twists involving the fictional Garrigan (James McAvoy) and one of the dictator's three wives (Kerry Washington). But as Amin, Forest Whitaker's command of the screen is so thorough, so frightening, so ripe with malice that you won't move in your seat for fear of catching his eye.

    Land of the Dead
    Land is pure entertainment and superbly well done. It is not as scary as it is gross, and its grossness is so outrageously graphic (hint: don't seat yourself next to a zombie at your next barbecue) that it is laugh-out-loud funny.
  29. Facing the Music
    An urgent, stirring story made all the more inspiring by the very ordinary nature of its subjects.
  30. The Real Dirt on Farmer John
    Despite the movie's intimate nature, Siegel deftly broadens his view to observe the culture and conditions of contemporary American farming. Don't be surprised if, by the finish, you wind up fantasizing about your own rural homestead.
