  1. Bicentennial Man
    A fragmented, episodic feel and a conclusion that seems both remote and remote-controlled.
  2. Jing Ke ci Qin Wang
    Based on the true story of the first emperor of unified China, could be downsized and told as an American Western.
  3. Magnolia
    But while this terrific cast gets to strut and preen, it's difficult to make an emotional connection with most of them.
  4. The War Zone
    Showing as much courage and talent behind the camera as he has while acting in front of it, Roth has crafted for his first film one of the most bluntly graphic and disturbing movies ever done on the subject.

    The Cider House Rules
    "I write 19th-century stories; they're supposed to affect you emotionally," says Irving, explaining why Tinseltown keeps knocking at his door.
  6. Cradle Will Rock
    A missed opportunity to shed light on one of America's most turbulent times.
  7. Diamonds
    A depressingly hollow vehicle.
  8. The Green Mile
    Has a simple but exceptionally powerful and uplifting emotional lure.
  9. Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
    A little Disney Christmas release that comes wrapped in used toilet paper.
  10. Miss Julie
    A brutally claustrophobic battle of wits and will, whose cruel nature ultimately seems to turn on the audience.
  11. Stir of Echoes
    Little internal logic and too many signposts. It's easy to see who in the neighborhood knows more than they're letting on, even without X-ray vision or ESP.
  12. Agnes Browne
    A standout feature of the movie is its representation of female friendship.
  13. The End of the Affair
    Many of the right elements -- the '40s look, the melodrama, the love that transcends reason.
  14. A Map of the World
    If it's not one of the five best of 1999, it's a personal best for Weaver, and that's pretty good.
  15. Holy Smoke
    Winslet and Keitel are brilliant as cult member & deprogrammer.
  16. Sweet and Lowdown
    Penn hasn't attempted much comedy since "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," but he's masterful here.
  17. Tumbleweeds
    What keeps these mother-daughter tumbleweeds from drifting right out of consciousness is the unique rapport between the actresses.
  18. Ride with the Devil
    The best movie I've seen this year.
  19. End of Days
    It's brain-dead start to finish.
  20. Toy Story 2
    With its agile, clever script and winning characters, Toy Story 2 is that rare thing -- an excellent children's movie with no upper age limit.
  21. Flawless
    Save your breath, and your money.
  22. The World Is Not Enough
    That's what Bond is all about -- dazzle, some really bad puns and the kind of sexy fun that satisfies high-school urges while masquerading in tux and tails.
  23. Sleepy Hollow
    A feast of imagery.
  24. All About My Mother
    Almodovar is adept at weaving together strands you'd never guess would match.
  25. Mansfield Park
    O'Connor plays Fanny with an appealingly direct, unflinching gaze.
  26. Liberty Heights
    Levinson is so skillful at developing personalities, even among the story's would-be villains, that by the halfway point of the movie, every gesture and expression has unexpected depth and texture. The performances are across-the-board superb.
  27. 42: Forty Two Up
    I love this series; it's possibly the most exciting use of the documentary medium ever.
  28. Dogma
    A raunchy, irreverent, generally hilarious sendup of ritual and papal decree.
  29. Felicia's Journey
    Seems like a genteel "Psycho."
  30. Anywhere But Here
    An actress' dream.
