  1. The Iron Giant
    It's an antidote to complacency. The question is, whom is it trying to wake up?
  2. The Sixth Sense
    A metaphysical shaggy-dog story, whose unpredictable punchline is its only redeeming feature.
  3. Dick
    Dunst and Williams...turn ditsiness into a frenetic comic duet.
  4. Runaway Bride
    It's no Runaway success, but Gere and Roberts still glow.
    • New York Daily News
  5. Twin Falls Idaho
    Has the gentlest feel of any movie I can remember.
  6. Drop Dead Gorgeous
    Drop Dead Ugly is more like it.
  7. Eyes Wide Shut
    Ultimately, Eyes Wide Shut doesn't rank among Kubrick's best work.
  8. The Blair Witch Project
    The inexplicably terrifying ending is good for a month's worth of nightmares -- no small thing for a movie in such a saturated field.
  9. Muppets from Space
    Muppets From Space has its share of whimsical lines aimed over children's heads at their parents, but speaking for one parent whose kids are grown, it's not enough. [14 July 1999, p.36]
    • New York Daily News
  10. American Pie
    The successful bits, along with an amiable cast of losers and their prom-night prey, make American Pie a winner.
  11. Late August, Early September
    The film, written and directed with an intimate, hand-held camera by Assayas, is notable for the details how love that is ended sometimes flares up in little brush fires, only to be banked down again; how lovers awkwardly balance the push and pull of new relationships; how things neither start nor end with any punctuality or precision. [07 Jul 1999, p.38]
    • New York Daily News
  12. Run Lola Run
    Furiously paced.
    • New York Daily News
  13. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
    Turns out to be less than the sum of its wonderfully silly and bizarre parts.
  14. Notting Hill
    The overall result is a romantic comedy that indulges fantasies, calms insecurities (can an ordinary bloke stack up?), and breaks and mends hearts with surgical precision.
  15. The Loss of Sexual Innocence
    It's beautiful to look at, and marvelously edited, but it's hard to know exactly what he's getting at. [28 May 1999]
    • New York Daily News
  16. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
    In the end, Phantom needed more human and less digital scale. The magic of "Star Wars" lay in Lucas' ability to play the human comedy in a fantastic future. With Phantom, he has brought the series to the brink of total artificiality, the future as a video game.
  17. After Life
    The memories recalled here aren't epic tales, just moments that make life worth living. Like seeing a good movie. [12 May 1999, p.44]
    • New York Daily News
  18. The Mummy
    Even if The Mummy is imitation Spielberg, it offers more bang for the buck than we're used to getting.
  19. Idle Hands
    Ill-timed "Hands" has a very limited grasp of comedy.
    • New York Daily News
  20. The Winslow Boy
    Hell has not yet frozen over, but here's something equally unexpected: David Mamet has made a G-rated movie for adults.
    • New York Daily News
  21. eXistenZ
    David Cronenberg is one of the most intellectual film makers around.
    • New York Daily News
  22. Election
    The actors are solid at every position, but Broderick, who seems to get better with each performance, is especially good at playing the impulsively self-destructive yet sympathetic loser.
  23. Pushing Tin
    Uneven but fitfully entertaining.
    • New York Daily News
  24. SLC Punk!
    A surprisingly genial and affecting comedy about the trials and tribulations of teenage rebellion during the Reagan '80s.
    • New York Daily News
  25. Go
    Darkly hilarious.
  26. Metroland
    Bale fails to make Chris a character compelling enough to stand out from that heavy dose of '70s clothes and hair.
    • New York Daily News
  27. The Matrix
    A dazzlingly original visual adventure.
  28. The Deep End of the Ocean
    About two faces of healing.
    • New York Daily News
  29. The Rage: Carrie 2
    Carrie is back and she's all the rage.
    • New York Daily News
  30. With Friends Like These...
    The movie works as well as it does ­because the cast knows the material so ­intimately. (review of re-release)
