  1. Keeping Up with the Steins
    Mazel tov to Scott Marshall for creating an endearing portrayal of familial lunacy that ought to charm as many Smiths as it will Steins.
  2. Fracture
    The kind of thriller we've seen a thousand times before. Fortunately, nobody told leads, Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins, both of whom devoutly believe they're in another, better movie.
  3. The Matrix Reloaded
    The philosophy is even less plausible. But the action -- oh, the action! There's nothing else out there like it.
  4. Still Life
    There is no turning back; the biggest project in China since the Great Wall and the Grand Canal has claimed its human cost and now must prove its own worth. -
  5. Calendar Girls
    This is good clean fun, with or without the soap, and one of the most spirited entries of the season.
  6. The Score
    As a film, The Score may not add up to much, but take it apart and it's something to see.
  7. Blood Work
    Connelly's better-than-routine potboiler has a high-concept premise built for the movies, and it's the first of the former L.A. Times reporter's 11 crime novels to make the journey from bookshelf to big screen.
  8. Darwin's Nightmare
    Sauper captures a world in which life and death are treated with equal practicality - and disregard. His camera is unflinching; your gaze may not be quite so steady.
  9. The Whole Nine Yards
    It provides the first genuine laughs I've had at the movies in this young year.
  10. Paranoid Park
    The story's fractured structure - and Christopher Doyle's dreamlike cinematography - make for a striking mood piece.
  11. State of Fear
    Pamela Yates' unblinking chronicle of recent Peruvian history paints a devastating picture of a people nearly destroyed by their own leaders.
  12. Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism
    The fourth documentary screed this summer to have grown out of the left's frustration with the nation's turn to the right. Keep 'em coming, I say.
  13. Kamikaze Girls
    A charmingly loony tale of two young loners who form an unlikely bond, this droll Japanese import puts the predictable banality of most Hollywood teen flicks to shame.
  14. The Good Girl
    In Aniston's previous film roles, the "Friends" star has made little impression, but under the direction of the gifted young Arteta, she's certainly grown to fill the big screen here, and looks ready to leap from TV to film.
  15. The Corporation
    An informative, amusing and unnerving overview of the history and consequences of corporations.
  16. Tumbleweeds
    What keeps these mother-daughter tumbleweeds from drifting right out of consciousness is the unique rapport between the actresses.
  17. Barenaked in America
    Ought to suit fans just fine.
  18. Them
    If you want an hour or so of terror, put your faith in Them.
  19. 'Tis Autumn: The Search for Jackie Paris
    The film serves him well, replaying a few surviving recordings that make clear what a beautifully melodious voice he had and what a talent went wasted.
  20. The Fighting Temptations
    A raucous gospel comedy that's as broad as co-star Beyonce Knowles' vowels and chockablock with foot-stomping, up-with-the-choir music that will have even atheists praising the Lord.
  21. The Great Dance: A Hunter's Story
    Never shies away from either the beauty or the cruelty of the hunt.
  22. The Tigger Movie
    That there was no squirming among the kids at my screening may be the best recommendation of all.
  23. The Bubble
    Fox stumbles a little at the end, which is unnecessarily exaggerated. He should have trusted his own talent - it's the attention to minor details that makes his work so memorable.
  24. Swimming Pool
    Whether the movie leaves you confused or angry, you will be stimulated to long discussion afterward. How often does that happen these days?
  25. The Crucible
    Ryder is particularly impressive in her destructive passion. [27 Nov 1996, p.39]
    • New York Daily News
  26. Word Wars
    Amusing and slightly alarming documentary.
  27. Transformers: The Last Knight
    It’s been reported that this “Transformers” sequel had a $217 million budget. The special effects — especially in IMAX 3-D — on the screen make you believe it.
  28. Girlfight
    Uplifting and moving in a traditional Hollywood way, while also seeming as raw and unfiltered as cinema vérité.
  29. La Ciénaga
    A fascinating, damning picture of bourgeois boredom that manages to be both epic and intimate at the same time.
  30. Everyone's Hero
    Whoever wanders into the theater should leave a winner.
