  1. The Tao of Steve
    Outside of the leads, the acting is uneven, but The Tao of Steve has an unquenchable playful spirit.
  2. Saving Grace
    Has that same air of silly innocence, a rarity in today's movies.
  3. The Tic Code
    Has the schematic feel of a disease-of-the-week TV movie, but the connections made between jazz and the minds that produce it turns the film into something much more intimate and compelling.
  4. Better Living
    Made in 1998, the picture sags beneath the leaden weight of its pre-millennial theme.
  5. Psycho Beach Party
    Smart, fun and mildly subversive, but it rides the wave of its joke a little too long.
  6. Space Cowboys
    The joy of Space Cowboys is in spending quality time with some favorite old actors who obviously enjoy working together.
  7. Coyote Ugly
    Completely false, manipulative, exploitative and insulting.
  8. Hollow Man
    Might have worked as a sex comedy, certainly as porn. But as a suspense thriller, it's creepy for all the wrong reasons.
  9. Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    It's just like Paul McCartney's first solo album after the Beatles broke up; he played all the instruments himself -- because he could.
  10. Girl on the Bridge
    Hand-held cameras give their surface showbiz relationship a sense of immediacy that, like love itself, has more than a hint of danger.
  11. Wonderland
    That (cinéma-vérité) feel is absolutely convincing, as are the performances.
  12. The Wind Will Carry Us
    A brilliant if slow-paced movie about one man's unwitting journey into adulthood.

  13. Thomas and the Magic Railroad
    Something of a mess.
  14. Loser
    Feels like a college knockoff of Billy Wilder's "The Apartment."
  15. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    Only the most hardhearted would fail to be swayed by Messner's surprising strength, and -- dare I say it -- irresistible charm.
  16. Two Women
    A daring feminist movie that, while straightforward to a fault, is a rare opportunity to sample a female point of view from Iran, where such a thing is usually a veiled subject.
  17. Alice et Martin
    With its intriguing relationships and sacrificial acts, Alice is a good alternative to happily-ever-after fluff.
  18. What Lies Beneath
    There is one good, legitimate scare in Robert Zemeckis' quasi-ghost thriller What Lies Beneath, and that's just not enough for a movie that lasts more than two hours.
  19. Les amants criminels
    "Grimm's Fairy Tales" were pretty grim, but Criminal Lovers crosses the line and sexualizes your worst fears.
  20. Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    Good or bad, it's either a must-see in your house, or not even on the radar screen.
  21. Benjamin Smoke
    It feels as though we're on a journey with Benjamin, who proves to be a wryly funny, passionate and complex traveling companion.

  22. Fear of Fiction
    So clumsy and unfocused that not getting it isn't half as bad as sitting through it.
  23. The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me
    On film, and eight years after they were written, his urgent re-creations of an awkward first date, or a Village People obsession, feel both overly familiar and almost embarrassingly earnest.
  24. The Five Senses
    Most of the film is so purposefully bound by its construct that it feels more like a creative-writing project (sure, give it an A) than a movie (B-).
  25. The Wisdom of Crocodiles
    With all the brooding, stylized closeups of blood, crosses and cigarettes, the overall effect is fashion-mag chic -- not, as intended, intellectual thriller.
  26. Shadow Hours
    A cheaply voyeuristic story whose "twist" is hardly worth the wait.
  27. X-Men
    A solid action story with inventive battles (one on the Statue of Liberty) and satisfyingly gooey special effects.
  28. Chuck & Buck
    A reverse male-bonding tale unlike anything you've ever seen. And it's not the easiest good movie to sit through.
  29. The Kid
    Neither can I imagine many sane adults wanting to put themselves through this movie.
  30. The Decline of Western Civilization Part III
    Overwhelmingly powerful.
