  1. Bay of Angels
    Seen through Demy's eyes (and Raoul Coutard's shimmering black-and-white photography), their extravagance is so effortlessly cool, you feel somehow lucky just to be there with them.
  2. Code Unknown: Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys
    For those who've become increasingly conscious of the connections between strangers sharing a city, it's a challenge that's hard to resist.
  3. The Independent
    Dumb fun is the best way to describe The Independent, and I mean that as a compliment.
  4. ABCD
    Madhur Jaffrey and Faran Tahir fare considerably better as Nina's conservative mother and brother, leaving us confused ourselves: Why didn't Patel focus on them, instead?
  5. Trouble Every Day
    Insipid, self-indulgent bit of art-house macabre.
  6. Jung (War) in the Land of the Mujaheddin
    It is an excruciating experience. But then, it would have to be. We're watching the distilled essence of war.
  7. Bangkok Dangerous
    There are movies that are all about the characters, and then there are movies, like Bangkok Dangerous, that are far more about the directors who created those characters.
  8. In the Bedroom
    It's a human drama, drawn in such careful emotional detail, its two acts of violence -- one shown, one not -- are almost incidental.

  9. Sidewalks of New York
    A waterlogged bagel, hardly the valentine to New York it imagines itself to be.
  10. The Devil's Backbone
    Along with "The Others," -- represents a welcome diversion from loud, senseless Hollywood extravaganzas.
  11. Così ridevano
    A ponderously slow experience.
  12. Spy Game
    The script provides an excellent payoff, although action fans may not agree, because that payoff is the equivalent of a Cheshire cat's grin.
  13. Black Knight
    Dismal time-travel comedy that makes "Big Momma's House" look like "Citizen Kane."
  14. Out Cold
    A good-natured, gleefully juvenile comedy in the tradition of such classic snowbound fare as 1984's "Hot Dog: The Movie."
  15. Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy
    This documentary doesn't probe too deeply, and it presupposes that there is a general interest in Jeremy commensurate with his Q rating among the porn-renting public.

  16. Novocaine
    The result is a performance that is neither funny nor empathetic, and the romance that develops between the dentist and the junkie patient is not strong enough to support the mystery.
  17. Bombay Eunuch
    A riveting story.
  18. The Simian Line
    The acting runs the gamut, with Daly and Redgrave at the top and a few characters looking as if they wandered onto the wrong movie set.
  19. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    If the movie doesn't ultimately transport us to places The Wizard of Oz once took us, that may be partly because "The Sorcerer's Stone" is just the first chapter, with more magic waiting to be parceled out in the coming years.
  20. The Fluffer
    What if you made a pornographic movie with a real story line and better acting but didn't show any sex? You'd get The Fluffer, a movie that sounds and feels like the real thing but isn't.

  21. The Wash
    Commits the cardinal sin of moviemaking: It leaves you bored.
  22. I Remember Me
    Feels like reading someone else's diary. Undoubtedly, there's some very important stuff in there, but it's most interesting to the person who wrote it.
  23. Maze
    The movie walks a tightrope between playing this misunderstood malady for laughs and sentiment.
  24. Shallow Hal
    The laughs are there, but the movie's main asset is Paltrow, mournful and always braced for the worst.
  25. Heist
    While not nearly as elaborate as either film, Heist plays like a combination of "The Sting" and "Mission: Impossible."
  26. King of the Jungle
    May be the biggest gathering of high-decibel performers in one movie. But they work well together and some are truly excellent.
  27. Otomo
    A potent drama.
  28. The One
    An almost comically unsuitable title. There's absolutely nothing singular or special about this slapdash sci-fi film featuring martial-arts megastar Jet Li.
  29. Happenstance
    As slight as it is sweet.
  30. Punks
    At its best when it embraces its true identity, as frivolous fun.
