  1. Monsters, Inc.
    Rarely does an animated character merge as perfectly with the persona of the actor providing his voice as the star of Monsters, Inc. does with John Goodman.
    • New York Daily News
  2. Amélie
    Whether you're charmed or bored by the movie depends entirely on your feelings for Amelie, a young woman whose hyper-quirky personality both takes some getting used to and grows old fast.
  3. Tape
    An entertaining, post-modern mulling of the nature of truth, and whether truth is ever so fixed that it can be captured on tape.
  4. Domestic Disturbance
    Why Travolta is slumming in B movies is anybody's guess. (I'll take a wild flier: "Battlefield Earth"?)
  5. The Man Who Wasn't There
    Has all the tense crackle of film noir and the molasses drip of irony that is the trademark of movie-making brothers Joel and Ethan Coen.
  6. K-PAX
    Not worth the rocket fuel.
  7. On the Line
    Whether he's the victim of poor directing or misguided ambition, Bass is almost entirely charisma-free.
  8. Ouch
    The marvelous Dussolier makes a poignantly aging lothario, but Fillieres is so off-puttingly strange, we don't really care what she thinks about.
  9. History Lessons
    A collage without context.
  10. The Town Is Quiet
    Intermittently compelling drama.
    • New York Daily News
  11. Kill by Inches
    Boring is too active a verb to describe this minimalist psychological thriller.
  12. Life as a House
    Kline will break your heart, while the rest of the movie will just make you sick.
  13. Ginger Snaps
    It makes sly sense to link female hormonal bursts with the lunar cycle of the werewolf, but the movie's final act is the usual matted-fur chase.
  14. Better Than Sex
    Wenham and Porter are appealing actors, and Teplitzky's depiction of their coupling has an unflinching realism.
  15. Thirteen Ghosts
    If only half as much attention had been paid to story and character as to set design, the cast wouldn't be playing second banana to a gut rehab.
  16. Mysteries of Egypt
    Everyone will be awed by the swooping shots and sweeping vistas -- the stuff IMAX really does know how to do right.
  17. Donnie Darko
    The flaws are more than balanced out by the risks the earnest Kelly encourages his excellent cast to take.
  18. Bones
    A ghetto horror movie that sets up some decent scares before becoming so amused with itself, it's a wonder we don't hear the crew laughing.
  19. A Chronicle of Corpses
    There's little depth underneath the simmering surface, but if you're looking for escapist Halloween scares, you could do a lot worse.
  20. Trembling Before G-d
    Strangely unengaging.
  21. Cool and Crazy
    Every time things start to get dull, you're brought up short by another moment of surprising beauty.
  22. Intimacy
    Some people will want to call it pornography. In one respect, it's the opposite.
  23. Focus
    Only David Paymer -- and the actor formerly known as the singer Meat Loaf, playing Newman's suspicious neighbor, ring true.
  24. White Hotel
    Well-meaning but frustratingly unfocused documentary.
  25. Burnt Money
    What makes this one stand out is the tugging, melancholy romance hiding behind the curtain of blood.
    • New York Daily News
  26. From Hell
    An amazing physical specimen, beautifully photographed and edited. If you think of it as your own opium dream, you may dismiss the lousy story as a mere side effect.
  27. The Last Castle
    I don't know why Redford and the white-hot Gandolfini signed on for this fiasco, but the give-and-take between them is the film's sole pleasure.
  28. Riding in Cars with Boys
    Needs someone to roll down a window and let in some fresh air.
  29. Waking Life
    Linklater's ravishing new movie represents a bold leap into the possibilities of technology.
  30. Dog Run
    Striking naturalism and blatant dishonesty blend awkwardly in this bleak drama.
