  1. My Summer of Love
    Travels so deeply into the confusions of female adolescence that you'd never know this deceptively languid British film was directed by a Polish-born man.
  2. Young@Heart
    One of the most delightful movies to come along this year.
  3. Valley of Tears
    The town's entrenched racism is impossible to ignore, but the efforts toward change make a compelling history.
  4. The World Is Not Enough
    That's what Bond is all about -- dazzle, some really bad puns and the kind of sexy fun that satisfies high-school urges while masquerading in tux and tails.
  5. Lantana
    In addition to the strong script, the ensemble performances are topnotch, with no one hogging the limelight.
  6. Capote
    What "Capote" fails to reveal to the audience is the sense of a homoerotic attraction between the author and Perry Smith (Clifton Collins Jr.). It is more than implied that one exists, but there isn't a scene between them that supports it or even makes it believable.
  7. Two for the Money
    Too long by about 20 minutes, and takes itself too seriously near the end. But if you're looking for a movie for a boys' night out, it's a winner.
  8. The Visit
    The actors seem exhilarated.
  9. Signs & Wonders
    The best performance is by Rampling. (The) camera hangs on her, knowing that nothing escapes those wise, sad-lidded eyes.
  10. Barbershop
    Best of all, and worth the price of admission, is Cedric the Entertainer.
  11. War Dance
    Overly polished, but deeply affecting, documentary.
  12. Running with Scissors
    A reasonable facsimile of a perversely funny book whose odd characters are given life by a terrific cast.
  13. Bang Rajan
    Unapologetically graphic and slightly marred by an artistic awkwardness, this is a rare and worthwhile glimpse into another nation's historical legend.
  14. The Bone Collector
    Slick entertainment.
  15. Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
    A thoroughly entertaining animated comedy that's sweet enough for the youngest moviegoers, and smart enough for the most cynical chaperone.
  16. The Emperor's New Clothes
    In a hilarious bit of actorly sleight-of-hand, Holm (who is not new to the role of Napoleon, having it played it twice before) slips effortlessly from emperor to impostor.

  17. Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi
    Deftly composed of many small moments, this gentle Israeli film skirts politics to portray a family that is blessedly normal in its internal chaos.
  18. Four Brothers
    If you can overcome the graphic nature of its casual violence, it is a lot of fun. The banter among the brothers is well-written and has a genuine fraternal feel to it. And the chases and shootouts have a fresh malevolence to them.
  19. Alone with Her
    Made for $1 million, its production values are raw and Nicholas makes at least one too many obvious choices himself. But its very rawness adds to its creepiness and keeps us in suspense in ways most studio movies don't.
  20. The Family Man
    Cage is a wonderful light comedian; were someone to remake "It's a Wonderful Life," he'd be on the short list for the role of George Bailey. And Leoni is Donna Reed, reborn.
  21. The Aura
    The tension and intrigue between the pretender and his would-be associates is as dense as the woods surrounding their hiding place.
  22. Secretary
    The daring, funny and quirkily erotic Secretary examines power exchanges between consenting adults in a way that other movies have not managed without turning off swaths of the squeamish.
  23. American History X
    Unflinching in its depiction of racism, anti-Semitism, violence and jailhouse politics.
  24. Concert for George
    Of them all, only McCartney looks out of place, perhaps mistaking the venue for Vegas. There in a nutshell could be the answer to why the Beatles broke up.
  25. Ultimate X: The Movie
    In a feat of truly impressive cinematic finesse, Hendricks manages to capture every possible angle, from below a soaring motorcycle to atop a speeding luger's helmet.
    • New York Daily News
  26. Cashback
    It's no small trick to blend fantasy, slapstick and genuine emotion, but Ellis pulls it off with whimsy to spare.
  27. Millennium Actress
    Although we never feel any true connection to the enigmatic actress, there's no denying the inventiveness of Kon's homage to the possibilities of cinema.
  28. Lemming
    By the end, you may not know whether you've seen a ghost story or a story of delusional obsession, but you'll have had a great time.
  29. A Very Long Engagement
    There are many ways to say that war is hell, but few filmmakers have said it with as much imagination, humor, intrigue and humanity as Jean-Pierre Jeunet in A Very Long Engagement.
  30. Dogma
    A raunchy, irreverent, generally hilarious sendup of ritual and papal decree.
