  1. Where's Marlowe?
    Belongs to an intellectually stimulating subgenre that examines the thin line between documentary maker and subject.
  2. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    Jovovich, Besson's 24-year-old ex-wife, hasn't a clue how to project shadings, interior emotions, character or personality. Everything's in a full screech.
  3. Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back!
    The favorable three-star rating I'm giving the animated Pokémon: The First Movie is based at least partly on the fact that I expected to dislike it and didn't.
  4. The Bachelor
    Out of place, out of time and out of its own cultural context.
  5. Portraits chinois
    The group in Portraits Chinois is a little too diverse and unwieldy to keep emotional track of.
  6. Rosetta
    An immensely uplifting movie whose final, unforgettable frames come as close as anything to answering the big questions about why we bother in a dog-eat-dog world.
  7. The Bone Collector
    Slick entertainment.
  8. Last Night
    Though the film is dark and the ideas run deep, it's perversely fun to think about.
  9. The Insider
    May be the best movie of the year.
  10. American Movie
    Smith's gleeful, touching documentary records the agony and the ecstasy of realizing your dream, and intangible ways that such dreams help keep people alive.
  11. Man of the Century
    Almost corny enough to be hip.

  12. The Legend of 1900
    It doesn't strike a single note of authentic emotion.
  13. Dreaming of Joseph Lees
    Most of the movie's rewards are in watching Morton.
  14. Beefcake
    This movie's attempt to reinvent Mizer as a First Amendment hero isn't as effective as its triumphant display of beefcake, which is, after all, the movie's raison d'etre.
  15. The Suburbans
    A desperately unfunny comedy that wastes a brand-name cast.
  16. Music of the Heart
    No actress of her generation inhabits characters as thoroughly and convincingly as she (Streep) does, and this performance carries the movie
  17. Speaking in Strings
    If it doesn't shed much light on the violinist's personal life, it certainly conveys how personally she relates to her work.
  18. Princess Mononoke
    A thing of beauty and imagination.
  19. Being John Malkovich
    Gloriously inventive, delightfully nutty comic treasure is unlike anything you've ever seen. It's lunatic.
  20. Three to Tango
    A thin, by-the-numbers romantic comedy that nevertheless features one saving grace: Matthew Perry.
  21. Body Shots
    Blunt, alternately prurient, funny and depressing.
  22. Crazy in Alabama
    Mismatch of tone and material.
  23. Men Cry Bullets
    The acting is more amateurish than Billy's diva act, and for all its ambitious editing, the film looks like something made in the Addams Family's attic.
  24. The Best Man
    Makes a fine date movie...thanks to its life-affirming view of friendship, love and honor.
  25. La Ciudad (The City)
    Sensational...as authentic as news footage, and far more intimate.
  26. Bringing Out the Dead
    It's a slice of life, with all the trimmings, and one of the strongest films of the year.
    • New York Daily News
  27. Show Me Love
    Grainy color stock and tight closeups give the film a realistic feel that's accentuated by natural performances from the able young cast.
    • New York Daily News
  28. Bats
    Unfortunately, it isn't until the final scene -- a spoof of the horror genre's false-ending cliché -- that Bats really takes wing.
  29. The Story of Us
    Overwrought comedy-drama.
  30. L'ennui
    Only mildly interesting.
