  1. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    Vardalos is a breath of fresh air. After all the little nipped and tucked bunnies we've been seeing onscreen for so long, we forget what real women look like.

  2. The Lookout
    Though The Lookout is eventually a genre film, with a tense, bang-up ending, it is also a thoughtful study of a young man trying to make sense of a world that he is having to learn all over again.
  3. City of God
    For those who didn't get enough violence from Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York," welcome to City of God.
  4. Lola
    Jacques Demy showed up with the lightest touch with his 1960 Lola, a movie that has been called a musical without music.
  5. Moog
    Moog mostly has the amiable, 70-ish inventor recounting his story, from his teen years as an electronics whiz in the Bronx to his development of a smaller, cheaper synthesizer.
  6. The Yes Men
    A sobering documentary done in a whimsical style.
  7. Lucky Number Slevin
    Lucky Number Slevin would be too clever for its own good if it weren't so ... darn clever. This violent flick is not in the same league as "The Sting," which has my vote for the cleverest winding road toward a happy ending in screenwriting history, but it contains nearly as deft a con job as that 1973 film.
  8. Time Out
    A well-crafted indictment of the dark side of the modern work ethic.

  9. Avenue Montaigne
    Rarely has Paris seemed more enchanting than in Danièle Thompson's optimistic ode to Gallic romance.
  10. Under the City's Skin
    Watching Tuba's proud girls disappear into anonymous clouds of chadors says more than any political diatribe could, and Bani-Etemad is wise enough to know it.
  11. Rabbit-Proof Fence
    Here, Noyce lets his camera, the geography and the youngsters tell this exceptionally powerful story.
  12. Blue Gate Crossing
    A lovely little coming-of-age story, this Taiwanese romance was directed by Chih-Yen Yee with a skillful subtlety enhanced by his young cast.
  13. The Prince of Egypt
    Apt to scare kids. [18 December 1998, p.72]
    • New York Daily News
  14. 102 Dalmatians
    The floating, flailing, flying puppies in the inspired opening credits of 102 Dalmatians set the tone for an adorable sequel to the live-action version of the famously spotted cartoon.
  15. Separate Lies
    A neat, twisty little domestic drama about smart people, foolish choices.
  16. Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film
    Consistently compelling and required viewing for anyone remotely interested in pop culture.
  17. The Host
    Bong's primary point is dead-on: Battling bureaucracy, from dishonest government leaders to indifferent civil servants, is the biggest horror of all.
  18. Stealing the Fire
    Enlightening and rather unsettling documentary.
  19. Derrida
    The sort of film one should probably see either a half-dozen times or not at all. It's a complex, highly ambitious documentary that aptly reflects its subject, contemporary French philosopher Jacques Derrida.
  20. Faat Kiné
    Both politically intricate and genuinely hilarious, Faat-Kine is a story grounded in dichotomies.
  21. Holy Smoke
    Winslet and Keitel are brilliant as cult member & deprogrammer.
  22. Tupac: Resurrection
    Mostly, it's a story of violence, and it's superbly told.
  23. Friday Night Lights
    Rousing, action-packed.
  24. Touch the Sound: A Sound Journey with Evelyn Glennie
    The result is a feast for the senses.
  25. The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear
    Eye-opening political documentary focuses on "the strange world of violence and fear, fantasy and deception, in which we now live."
  26. Taboo
    Impressionistic and open to interpretation, which is a kind way of saying that there's no way to figure out the ending.
    • New York Daily News
  27. Deep Water
    This fine documentary mixes archival footage, interviews with the sailor's family and sponsors, and - most amazingly - excerpts from the film and audiotape diary kept by Crowhurst.
  28. Divan
    Warm and engaging.
  29. Ice Age: The Meltdown
    A good-natured, gag-filled sequel.
  30. Undisputed
    Offers nothing new to the long tradition of boxing films. But Hill's reverence for the classic form and the stone-cold performances of Rhames and Snipes propel the whole thing forward with a prefight buildup that's more fun -- and probably more honest -- than the awkward attempts at macho showmanship we get from real fighters these days.
