  1. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    Not quite as funny as it wants to be. Mostly, it's just silly. But as always, the Coens are entertaining themselves first.and their quirky individuality has served them and their fans well so far.
  2. Dracula 2000
    There's a lot of scary stuff in Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000. There are eyeball-sucking leeches, decapitations, punctured necks... and appalling acting.
  3. 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.
  4. Injeong sajeong bol geot eobtda
    Lee pushes this joyride into stimulation overdrive, playing with colors and film speeds and surfaces and shadows until it makes perfect sense that a movie should be all about energy, rather than -- well, about anything else at all.
  5. Miss Congeniality
    Miss Congeniality would not be out of place as a TV series, so it makes sense that Candice Bergen and William Shatner appear as pageant co-hosts.
  6. State and Main
    Gently hilarious comedy.
  7. Exhuming Mr. Rice
    The film is admirably honest about death, so it may be helpful if you're looking for a way to talk to kids about a difficult subject. Otherwise, stand aside and let it pass.
  8. Finding Forrester
    Written, acted and directed so intelligently that it stands out from the pack, and is guaranteed to give you the warm glow of holiday movies past -- the kind that celebrated faith in human potential and the value of hard work.
  9. The Gift
    But there were few, if any, better performances in 2000 than the one Blanchett gives here, and Raimi's crafty blend of dramatic realism and supernatural knowledge is one of the year's best directing con jobs.
  10. What Women Want
    A merry romantic comedy in the screwball tradition.
  11. The Visit
    The actors seem exhilarated.
  12. Pollock
    Harris convincingly creates one "Pollock" after another over the course of the movie.
  13. Dude, Where's My Car?
    What holds the movie together -- albeit tenuously -- is the surprisingly sweet-natured pairing of Jesse and Chester.
  14. The Emperor's New Groove
    Freewheeling and mindless.
  15. Chocolat
    A charming trifle, beautifully filmed in a Currier & Ives setting, with buttery-smooth performances from Binoche and Depp, and enough good tidings in its nougat center to get you through the holidays.
  16. Vertical Limit
    A climbing thriller whose plot may be on thin ice but whose action sequences are stunning.
  17. The Art of Amália
    An unabashed celebration of her (Amalia) distinctive voice.
  18. The Day Silence Died
    The story is fascinating for its simplicity and its inherent truths about the downside of progress.
  19. Proof of Life
    The romantic subtext of their characters' relationship is the film's chief liability, and feels forced and undeveloped.
  20. Strippers
    Features amateurish acting and direction, and a going-nowhere script.
  21. Dungeons & Dragons
    The special effects work fine for minor acts of magic, but the climactic aerial dragon fight is lame, and most of the performances are at the level of high school plays.
  22. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    Handsome, passionate and fun. It's everything we go to the movies for.
  23. Moon Shadow
    Just once, can't a city slicker go country and stay unchanged? Not in this sentimental 1995 Italian drama.
  24. Spring Forward
    There's no question that the film's primary intent is to showcase its stars, but thanks to their perfectly attuned performances, it feels more real than self-conscious.

  25. A Good Baby
    This intelligently acted and well-paced story avoids most of the clichés.
  26. Boys Life 3
    A rare opportunity to see shorts without having to spring for a ticket to a film festival.
  27. 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.
  28. Quills
    The things you can look forward to, however, are the humor, intellectual musing, emotional tumult, superb acting and challenging adult questions.
  29. Unbreakable
    "Sixth Sense" fans will be intrigued at first, then disappointed.
  30. The Trench
    By the time they're ready to leave their trench, we're not at all ready to see them go.
