  1. East Is East is "The Full Monty" of 2000, a fresh, funny and poignant film filled with sparkling performances.
    • New York Post
  2. The movie that deserved to win the Oscar for foreign-language film, and one of the best movies ever made about life behind the Iron Curtain.
    • New York Post
  3. Does not offer much in the way of exciting boxing footage.
    • New York Post
  4. This bizarre, original and brilliantly crafted documentary about the Sex Pistols is funny and at times moving -- despite all the ugliness and stupidity it depicts.
    • New York Post
  5. An elegant, quietly comical but slightly constricted period piece whose stately pace is all but offset by several impressive performances.
  6. As mechanical and predictable as a cuckoo clock, it shouldn't work half as well as it does.
  7. The cinematic equivalent of meat loaf -- comfort food that's reassuring in its utter lack of sophistication and surprises.
  8. Has its moments of interest, including two excruciating vocals by Arquette and Caan -- and a George Clinton score that contains a theme eerily similar to that of "American Beauty."
  9. At heart a cliché-strewn melodrama about a bunch of white, upper-class Manhattan kids who aspire to ghetto culture.
    • New York Post
  10. Price of Glory isn't an embarrassment on the order of the last major boxing movie, "Play It to the Bone," but it's not especially worth intercepting on its way to the video racks.
  11. Ends up taking enough detours to keep DreamWorks' latest animated epic from striking cinematic gold.
  12. So minimalist in characterization and dialogue that the plot all but evaporates -- and so does any dramatic power.
    • New York Post
  13. The quirky High Fidelity really deserves being called the first must-see movie of the century.
    • New York Post
  14. Hokey, inept tear-jerker.
    • New York Post
  15. Structurally flawed, occasionally shlocky, but written with unusual intelligence and subtlety.
  16. Doesn't have the emotional heft of his "Children of Paradise," but it's still moving.
    • New York Post
  17. An unusually well-written and satisfying multilayered drama that conveys the feel of urban India with more vivid accuracy than anything made in the subcontinent in recent years.
  18. First-time writer-director Mark Hanlon lands only glancing blows in this grim black comedy.
  19. You have to sit through 90 minutes that feel like three hours.
    • New York Post
  20. X
    Ignore the furiously overplotted, headache-inducing story -- derived from a series of comic books -- and focus on the exquisitely drawn Japanese animation.
  21. An assembly-line high-school comedy that flunks miserably in all three subjects.
  22. A cold, emptily stylish exercise -- and one that sorely lacks the speed and vigor that made "Lola" run.
  23. The kind of stand-up-and-cheer movie Hollywood is supposed to have forgotten how to make.
    • New York Post
  24. Doesn't shy from the ugly side, though it's far from the no-holds-barred exposé being touted in the ads.
    • New York Post
  25. Writer-director Julian Henriquez does a great job staging the lively musical numbers.
  26. OK premise quickly deteriorates into a silly, badly acted slasher movie -- minus the slasher.
    • New York Post
  27. Honest but also derivative and crude.
  28. Delightfully quirky.
  29. Part of the problem is that the Finbar character is both underdeveloped and unattractive - you don't get a sense of why anyone would miss him, let alone go searching for him in the snow. [17 Mar 2000]
    • New York Post
  30. It features well-below-par writing, acting, direction, special effects and music, while oozing a nauseating New Age sentimentality that undermines any tension in the underlying story.
