  1. Joe the King
    The movie isn't a day in the park, but it manages to close on an existentially uplifting note.
  2. That's the Way I Like It
    Cannibalizes "Saturday Night Fever" for everything from structure to plot, but does it adorably.
  3. Julien Donkey-Boy
    I'd never seen anything like it, and can say that I hope to never see anything like it again.
  4. Five Wives, Three Secretaries and Me
    A personal documentary on a family member. The question is, who -- outside of friends and family -- would want to watch it? The answer...is ... beyond me.
  5. The Straight Story
    If there is any justice in the world, Farnsworth will be remembered at Oscar time.
  6. Fight Club
    Grueling and bleak, but not unintelligent...although it's hardly groundbreaking just because everyone's face gets pulpy.
  7. The Grandfather
    Essentially conversations, confrontations, and an extremely pat -- and very verbal -- reconciliation.
  8. Random Hearts
    This ponderous romantic melodrama...passes like a day behind bars.
  9. The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human
    A one-joke idea...wears itself out almost instantly.
  10. Molly
    Derivative to the point of distraction.
  11. The Sticky Fingers of Time
    Nothing if not original.
  12. The Limey
    Stamp, whose ability to make Wilson simultaneously coarse and charismatic is irresistibly entertaining.
  13. Whiteboyz
    Despite its good intentions, Whiteboys -- a serio-comic examination of hip-hop's influence on suburban white youth -- comes off as little more than a fleshed-out skit.
  14. Superstar
    What's funny for 5 minutes doesn't make for a full-length movie.
  15. Boys Don't Cry
    A powerful, deeply moving tale, immeasurably facilitated by the performance of relatively unknown Hilary Swank as Brandon...smartly shot and edited, and the performances are dead-on.
  16. Bandits
    This self-conscious movie by Katja von Garnier is shot like a music video, stocked with quick cuts, lip-synching and fantasy performances.
  17. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    Gentle, funny and full of the lessons one expects from the scions of the late Jim Henson.
  18. Happy, Texas
    The performances are first-rate, with the always inventive Macy a standout as the hopeful, tormented Chappy, and Zahn a scream as the lovably imbecilic Wayne.
  19. Mystery, Alaska
    Some terrific characters and some of the year's punchiest comic dialogue.
  20. Plunkett & Macleane
    Its noisily inappropriate pop-rock score overwhelms its meager subplots about British class conflict.
  21. Drive Me Crazy
    Isn't a movie as much as it is a feature-length screen test.
  22. Three Kings
    A daring, teeth-grinding experience that doesn't let the viewer rest easy.
  23. Divorce Iranian Style
    The tone is attentive and responsible.
  24. Double Jeopardy
    So riddled with plot holes and implausible actions, you can't help feeling insulted by it.
  25. Out of Season
    Manages to look very good for its limitations, and features solid actors doing their best with a very sketchy script.
  26. Mumford
    Among the funniest and most satisfying films I've seen in years.
  27. Jakob the Liar
    An awkwardly executed, tedious and -- a near impossibility for a Holocaust movie -- emotionally uninvolving bore.
  28. Fever Pitch
    A sweetly hilarious romantic comedy about a soccer fan whose favorite pro team's unexpected success threatens to push him over the edge.
    • 16 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Simon Sez
    Rodman makes former co-star Jean-Claude Van Damme look like Jean-Paul Belmondo.
  30. Guinevere
    Polley, the paraplegic incest victim in Atom Egoyan's "The Sweet Hereafter," gives a mesmerizing central performance.
