  1. The Animal
    Judging by the audience reaction -- there is apparently something funny about the idea of a man trying to hump a goat in heat.
  2. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Mostly a lazy string of setups and sight gags, of tongue-in-cheek confrontations between the two stars that barely amount to sketches.
  3. Rape Me
    The sex may be real, but the violence and acting are comically phony, resulting in something that, while intended to shock, merely revolts.
  4. Big Eden
    Director Bezucha's eyes are as starry as Montana's sky, but it's pretty hard to resist such a determinedly utopian vision of love.
  5. A Love Divided
    If it weren't based on a true story, you might suspect Sydney McCartney's A Love Divided was created by a panel of militant Irish Protestants.
  6. Himalaya
    The plot is woven from minutely observed details that beautifully evoke a rarely seen world.
  7. The Road Home
    With so many cynical Hollywood romances cluttering theaters, Zhang Yimou's unabashed simplicity is most welcome.
  8. Pearl Harbor
    The 2,400 Americans who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor deserve a nobler memorial than this sentimental hogwash that reduces heroism to "Top Gun" antics and pretty cinematography.
  9. The Man Who Cried
    The result is a movie that talks big, even walks big, but has no scale whatsoever.
  10. Our Song
    That it all seems improvised on the spot (it was not) is testament to the power of a film that trusts its characters, its actors and its ultimate goal.

  11. Fast Food Fast Women
    As usual, Thomson steers right into the heart of vulnerability, with a painfully true performance as a guarded, confused soul.
    • New York Daily News
  12. Strange Fits of Passion
    This rather limp Australian comedy shares "Bridget's" theme, but none of its panache.
  13. Petits frères
    Crushingly realistic.
  14. Angel Eyes
    A movie about healing that makes us want to scream out, ""Hollywood, heal thyself!"
  15. Shrek
    An adorable, infectious work of true sophistication.
  16. Moulin Rouge!
    An audacious, snappy visual and emotional feast of dishes both familiar and fresh. It's the first really good movie of 2001.
  17. Startup.com
    Some of the simplest shots give you the full picture of the price these guys paid for their dreams.
  18. The King Is Alive
    It's an excellent fusion of subject and style.
    • New York Daily News
  19. A Knight's Tale
    With its cheerful hailstorm of anachronisms and classic-rock soundtrack, there's nothing medieval about it.
  20. The Man Who Bought Mustique
    Funny, yet appalling.
  21. About Adam
    With few laughs and no real poignancy, the movie's success rests squarely on Adam's oft-naked shoulders.
  22. Ice from the Sun
    Stanze is to be congratulated on raising the bar for horror avant-garde filmmaking on a shoestring.
  23. Pavilion of Women
    Introduces American audiences to Luo Yan, a charismatic Chinese-born actress now living in Los Angeles. She single-handedly nurtured this project to fruition, serving as producer, co-writer and star.
  24. Eureka
    Wrenching performances and painstaking visual and thematic compositions.
  25. Under the Sand
    A fascinating movie that explores grief from an emotionally truthful angle rarely seen in movies.
  26. The Young Girl and the Monsoon
    A fine example of how a character-based story can be so compelling you don't miss the frills.
  27. The Mummy Returns
    The movie resembles a video game in which each victory whisks you to the next level, with slightly different antagonists and a faster pace.
  28. Deuces Wild
    Deuces Wild is the worst thing to have happened to Brooklyn since the Ice Age severed it from the mainland.
  29. Green Dragon
    The Buis seem not to have complete confidence in their unique, imprecise style, which is too bad.
    • New York Daily News
  30. The Forsaken
    Vampire movies aren't what they used to be. How about a little mist, some shadows, some pale gray faces set off by stark red lips? Maestro, a little Transylvanian mood music, if you please.
