  1. The Trench
    There isn't a line you haven't heard or a stock character you haven't encountered before.
    • New York Post
  2. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
    By far the best and cutest thing about How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the dog Max.
    • New York Post
  3. Bounce
    The most depressing date movie since "Random Hearts."
    • New York Post
  4. Sasayaki
    Newcomer Akihiko Shiota shows talent as a director, but he allows Sasayaki to go on too long.
  5. La bûche
    Engaging in a soap operatic, rather glib way.
    • New York Post
  6. Lies
    When all is said and done, Lies is just good, dirty fun.
    • New York Post
  7. The 6th Day
    This otherwise undistinguished thriller about cloning is the most entertaining movie from the aging action star for some time.
    • New York Post
  8. Rugrats in Paris: The Movie - Rugrats II
    Seems more like a merchandising ploy than a successful attempt to entertain kids and their parents.
  9. One Day in September
    A gripping reminder of a brutal chapter of 20th-century history.
  10. Little Nicky
    It's funnier than "Bedazzled," which isn't saying much.
  11. Non-Stop
    Fresh, fast and funny movie.
  12. Restless
    Boasts exceptionally attractive locations, but its painfully amateurish plotting, dialogue and acting -- combined with slack pacing -- make this Beijing-set indie romance something of a trial.
  13. You Can Count on Me
    Visually flat and uninteresting and too often feels like a (leisurely paced) filmed play.
  14. Rebels with a Cause
    Even if this film may irritate some people who remember "the movement" differently, it's nevertheless a fascinating and often moving document of recent history.
    • New York Post
  15. Looking for an Echo
    Well-meant but rambling little indie melodrama.
    • New York Post
  16. Red Planet
    Isn't as bad as the year's first abysmal Martian movie, "Mission to Mars," but it's pretty close.
  17. Men of Honor
    In-depth performances by De Niro and Gooding Jr. provide the oxygen for this extremely shipshape biopic.
  18. Suzhou River
    This intriguing film is the best variation on "Vertigo" since Brian DePalma's far more polished "Obsession" (1976), which ranks with the best Hitchcock knockoffs of all time.
    • New York Post
  19. Me & Isaac Newton
    Makes for fascinating viewing.
    • New York Post
  20. The Legend of Bagger Vance
    So slow the movie itself seems to be suffering from a hardening of the arteries.
  21. Boesman and Lena
    Awfully poky, even for an art film.
    • New York Post
  22. Kippur
    Undeniably powerful, grimly fascinating.
    • New York Post
  23. The Weekend
    You rarely see movies as dramatically uneven as The Weekend, which has a dreadful, one-star first half - followed by an interesting, three-star conclusion.
    • New York Post
  24. Charlie's Angels
    The film's tongue is so firmly in cheek that, without being a spoof like "Dragnet" or "The Brady Bunch Movie," it has more in common with the "Austin Powers" films.
    • New York Post
  25. George Washington
    For those willing to work a bit at it, this is the sort of artistry many American independent movies aspire to - but rarely achieve.
    • New York Post
  26. Vénus beauté (institut)
    Slight but entertaining and occasionally touching.
  27. A Room for Romeo Brass
    Fairly shapeless story.
  28. Once in the Life
    Basically it's an acting exercise - a one-set rendition of that old stage and movie standby, the ex-convict struggling to go straight who's tempted to attempt one last score.
  29. What's Cooking?
    Lighthearted and smart enough to be one of the best Altmanesque ensemble comedies of the last couple of years.
  30. Lucky Numbers
    As lifeless and unfunny as a corpse on a slab.
  31. A Time for Drunken Horses
    Ghobadi (himself an Iranian Kurd) takes some gorgeous shots against the snow, but his storytelling is uneven and often slow.
  32. Stardom
    A glitzy and shallow satire about shallow people.
    • New York Post
  33. The Little Vampire
    A guaranteed crowd-pleaser for the whole family.
  34. Loving Jezebel
    Isn't as relentlessly vulgar or cartoonish as "The Ladies Man" - nor is it a whole lot more realistic.
  35. Sound and Fury
    Extremely well-made (and evenhanded) film.
    • New York Post
  36. Bedazzled
    It's like your appendix - you'll never even miss it.
    • New York Post
  37. Calle 54
    A film that fans of Latin jazz won't want to miss.
    • New York Post
  38. The Legend of Drunken Master
    Chan at his high-kicking best. Some sequences are simply amazing.
  39. The Yards
    Visually accomplished and wonderfully acted.
  40. The Wolves of Kromer
    Abysmal performances, limp direction (Will Gould) and a heavy-handed script drive a stake through a semi-interesting idea about the persecution of gay werewolves in a remote English village.
  41. Just One Time
    A smarmy, smirky but ultimately boring film.
  42. MVP: Most Valuable Primate
    Even parents might find themselves having fun.
  43. Pay It Forward
    Works unexpectedly well for its first three quarters.
    • New York Post
  44. Dr T and the Women
    Altman and Rapp skirt the fine line between satire and caricature, stopping just short of ridiculing the women who pack Dr. T's office.
    • New York Post
  45. The Ladies Man
    Painfully stupid.
  46. Whispers: An Elephant's Tale
    Probably would have yielded a more interesting documentary than this sugary feature.
    • New York Post
  47. Cleopatra's Second Husband
    One of those potentially interesting movies that takes its sweet time getting to the point - by which time many audience members will likely have bailed out or dozed off.
    • New York Post
  48. Animal Factory
    A wonderfully acted, strangely low-key prison movie.
    • New York Post
  49. Billy Elliot
    An uplifting, crowd-pleasing film in the tradition of "The Full Monty" that could easily win Oscar nominations for both its 11-year-old star, Jamie Bell, and first-time director, Stephen Daldry.
    • New York Post
  50. Followers
    Atrociously written.
  51. The Red Stuff
    The dramatic history of the Soviet space program deserves a far more competent documentary than this amateurish Dutch production.
  52. Just Looking
    Generic memoir of lower-middle-class "white ethnic" life in the '50s.
  53. Lost Souls
    Predictable, rarely scary.
  54. Ratcatcher
    Has its moments, but overall the effect is uneven.
    • New York Post
  55. One
    A rare dud in the Shooting Gallery series.
  56. The Contender
    Excellent performances in an entertaining if less than totally plausible story.
    • New York Post
  57. Get Carter
    Should you get Carter? Sure - but make it the Michael Caine classic Warner Bros. is releasing on video next week.
    • New York Post
  58. Two Family House
    A charming, (mostly) briskly unsentimental love story, written, directed and acted with remarkable assurance.
  59. CyberWorld
    Crippled by lame storytelling.
  60. Yi Yi
    Presents an intelligent, profound and at times heartrending slice of Taiwanese middle-class existence - as seen by characters at different stages of life.
  61. Taboo
    It's actually the surprisingly compelling plot and the often hilarious dialogue that keep you watching this tale of passion and murder in a Samurai militia unit - not the beautiful scenery or the elegant color palette.
    • New York Post
  62. Digimon: Digital Monsters
    After the monster is subdued, then there's a much less humorous, and more mindlessly violent second half.
    • New York Post
  63. Bamboozled
    Lee's incendiary and brilliant new film.
    • New York Post
  64. Meet the Parents
    Part sitcom, part comedy of manners - but it lacks the courage to deal honestly with class and ethnicity.
  65. Requiem for a Dream
    A powerful fable about love and addiction that manages to be darkly humorous when it isn't graphic or harrowing in the extreme.
  66. Bootmen
    There's 80 minutes of mawkish, overacted melodrama - laced with gratuitous violence and profanity - before we get to anything more than the briefest snippet of a dance number.
    • New York Post
  67. Girlfight
    Refreshing and surprising, the way independent movies are supposed to be.
    • New York Post
  68. The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy
    Turns out to be a choppily written, unevenly acted exercise, no less shlocky and predictable than any of Hollywood's average second-string heterosexual comedies.
  69. Barenaked in America
    There's something oddly endearing about the Barenaked Ladies. And by the end of the movie, you begin to see just what it is that inspires such intense fan loyalty.
  70. Remember the Titans
    A civics lesson about integration very artfully - and entertainingly - disguised as an upbeat family sports movie.
  71. Beautiful
    Rarely does a movie go so thoroughly wrong in so many ways.
    • New York Post
  72. The Great Dance: A Hunter's Story
    The labor of love of South African brothers Craig and Damon Foster, who directed and photographed this intriguing documentary.
  73. Best in Show
    I was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down my cheeks.
    • New York Post
  74. The Tavern
    A worthwhile choice in a crowded marketplace.
    • New York Post
  75. Prince of Central Park
    Elaborate vanity production.
  76. The Specials
    Lame spoof.
  77. The Fantasticks
    A brave but ultimately futile attempt at adapting a piece that is so quintessentially theatrical that it defies translation to another medium.
    • New York Post
  78. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    You cease to care as they fall back on a catalogue of clichéd shocks, tired camera angles and an ever-mounting gore quotient.
  79. Woman on Top
    Prime date fare, but cotton-candy light and occasionally just a little too whimsical.
  80. Double Parked
    Essentially a downscale TV movie about spousal and child abuse.
    • New York Post
  81. Dancer in the Dark
    If it weren't for a terrific central performance by the Icelandic pop singer Bjork, Dancer in the Dark would be all but unwatchable.
    • New York Post
  82. Left Luggage
    After a dreadfully clunky start, Left Luggage picks up and becomes quite moving.
    • New York Post
  83. Chutney Popcorn
    There's some lumpy writing and uneasy acting, but it's easy to see why this charming, inventive film won prizes at festivals in Berlin, San Francisco and Newport, R.I.
    • New York Post
  84. Twilight: Los Angeles
    When it was first performed in theaters a couple of years after the L.A. riots took place, Twilight: Los Angeles must have been very powerful. Unfortunately, director Mark Levin's filmed version lacks that impact.
  85. Alma
    The documentary equivalent of a Southern Gothic novel.
  86. Under Suspicion
    A profound disappointment, given its cast and source material.
  87. Tigerland
    Rarely less than compelling, must-see entertainment, thanks to Farrell, Schumacher and company.
  88. On the Run
    Things rapidly go downhill in this pinch-penny production.
    • New York Post
    • 43 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A Piece of Eden
    It is hard to dislike such a wholesome, well-meaning movie, which has some very funny moments and a lovable cast.
  90. Human Resources
    Offers highly effective performances by a cast of real-life employees without previous acting experience, who also collaborated on the intriguing screenplay.
  91. Goya in Bordeaux
    Pretty but tedious Euro-pap at its most self-indulgent.
  92. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    There have been many documentaries about the Holocaust in recent years, but this one really stands out.
  93. Crime and Punishment in Suburbia
    Less an updated version of the Dostoevsky novel than an unusually somber Hollywood teen love story.
    • New York Post
  94. Bait
    One of those thriller-comedy combos that never get the balance quite right.
    • New York Post
  95. Urbania
    Dark, morbidly funny and quite violent movie, which plays with audience members' heads in ways many people will find quite disturbing.
  96. The Dream Catcher
    Ed Radtke's film-fest favorite does at least boast some fine acting, excellent photography and an authentic feel for life on the highway.
  97. Duets
    The talented cast doesn't stand much of a chance in this rambling, pointless narrative.
    • New York Post
  98. Paragraph 175
    A worthy addition to the growing canon of Holocaust documentaries.
    • New York Post
  99. Almost Famous
    An unqualified triumph, the year's best movie so far.
    • New York Post
  100. The Way of the Gun
    Falters seriously is its too-leisurely pacing.
