  1. Road Trip
    The jokes, fast and furious enough to satisfy both teens and intrepid parents, are far funnier than they are raunchy.
  2. Shadow Boxers
    Savvy, unflinching, often bloody documentary.
  3. Kadosh
    A poetic and somber film that underscores the bum deal women usually get in any restrictive society.
  4. Center Stage
    Don't like archetypes? Wait till you meet the cliches.
  5. Screwed
    You've got to give Norm Macdonald credit. When he cheats his audience, he warns them first.
  6. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    One of the darkest, ugliest, most uninvolving and incomprehensible major-studio fantasies I've ever seen.
  7. Coming Soon
    A deadly script.
  8. Hamlet
    Some of the contemporary winks are questionable, but others are undeniably sharp.
  9. Human Traffic
    Funny and masterfully inventive.
  10. Dream of Light
    Gorgeous, fascinating and surprisingly suspenseful.
  11. Into My Heart
    Though Morrow and Forlani are fine actors, they can't even fake a physical attraction between their characters, let alone orgasms.
  12. La Nouvelle Ève
    Viard plays one of the most intriguing female characters in recent film from either side of the Atlantic.
  13. Up at the Villa
    All of Haas' movies have an air of weirdness and dread, and this one is no exception. But it's romantic as well.
  14. I Dreamed of Africa
    Despite the movie's dramatic weaknesses, I was spellbound by the images.

    Michael Jordan to the Max
    We get zilch on what kind of human being he is.
  16. The Basket
    You have no idea how determined director Rich Cowan is to suck the last drop of sap out of this tree.
  17. Gladiator
    If there's a soft spot in your heart for the sword-&-sandal epic -- and from the star rating above, I think you can guess where I stand -- then you'll swoon with giddy delight over Gladiator.
  18. Adorenarin doraibu
    Feels like any number of forgettable American teen comedies in which the nerd gets the girl and/or the money.
  19. Luminarias
    There are so many small, satisfying moments when the women are allowed to be real that it's a jolt each time they become superficial symbols.
  20. The Big Kahuna
    The dialogue often sounds like arch Mamet, and John Swanbeck's direction is as spare as the hotel-room decor.
  21. Committed
    Graham is lots of fun to watch, but it's hard to reconcile the split halves of her character.
  22. Frequency
    One of the most skillful, mesmerizing, tense and satisfying time-warp thrillers ever made.
  23. Timecode
    Is the story being told worth a movie on its own merits? No way. Time Code exists as an esthetic event -- either a trick or a treat, depending on your expectations.
  24. Croupier
    There are certainly glimpses of his underused talent. But there aren't enough of those moments to elevate Croupier above the level of routine melodrama.
  25. Gossip
    Truly depressing commentary.
  26. The Last September
    Saga too arty for own good.
  27. From the Edge of the City
    Underdeveloped and badly diluted by overlong -- and overly stylized -- forays into the drug use, street hustling and cultural alienation that mostly affects the boys' friends.
  28. J'aimerais pas crever un dimanche
    Underdeveloped and badly diluted by overlong -- and overly stylized -- forays into the drug use, street hustling and cultural alienation that mostly affects the boys' friends.
  29. U-571
    The action is tightly focused and well-paced.
  30. The Virgin Suicides
    Has a great deal of empathy for that excruciating limbo that is female adolescence.
