    Three to Tango
    Relax and enjoy the brain candy.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Body Shots
    Rapidly veers towards tired 80's territory rather than offering anything new and fresh.
  3. The Best Man
    Funny, sentimental, cheerfully bawdy story of a wedding reunion that stirs up a hornet's nest of old loves, lusts and jealousies.
    • Newsweek
  4. Bringing Out the Dead
    Full of bravura moments and high-wire performances.
    • Newsweek
  5. Show Me Love
    With honesty, charm and an uncanny sympathy for all its characters, the film takes us deep inside the awkward and exhilarating experience of first love.
  6. The Story of Us
    So bland and un-lived in you want to pour Tabasco all over the screen.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    That's the Way I Like It
    A warm-hearted romp that will leave you smiling -- and strutting.
  8. Fight Club
    The most incendiary movie to come out of Hollywood in a long time. It's a mess, but one worth fighting about.
    • Newsweek
  9. Random Hearts
    An adult love story that's trying for stiff-upper-lip poignancy.
  10. Boys Don't Cry
    Peirce's taut, sure-footed first film sidesteps sensationalism without sacrificing any of the story's wonder and horror
  11. Bandits
    (Katja von Garnier's) talent makes this original film exciting and moving, a raucous ride.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Plunkett & Macleane
    A highly entertaining movie in a genre that is often as stiff as the Lady Gibson's boning.
  13. Three Kings
    Blackly funny, unafraid to shift emotional gears from farce to horror, peppered with spectacular action.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dog Park
    Through the laughter, though, there is real empathy for the characters. It's a light-hearted movie.
    • Newsweek
  15. Sugar Town
    (There's) a half dozen other deftly sketched show-biz desperadoes who make this slight but tangy sleeper such an unpretentious delight.
  16. Romance
    For those who believe that movies are a proper place to explore the riddle of sex, no holds barred, this movie is de rigueur.
  17. Get Bruce
    It's worth the price of admission just to hear Vilanch bouncing ideas off of a revved-up Robin Williams.
    • Newsweek
    • 84 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    American Beauty
    In the end, the film lacks the skill of its actors and ends up feeling disjointed and confused about its own message.

    • 20 Critic Score
    Stigmata
    Save yourself from this mess.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    All the Little Animals
    Thomas is supported in his first directorial endeavor by a truly spectacular cast.
  21. Outside Providence
    Gets a lot of the details right. Outside Providence is a sweet, funny little movie.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Chill Factor
    About as bad as it gets?a thrill-less "Speed" wannabe.
    • Newsweek
    • 43 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Very Thought of You
    Despite some funny lines and situations, this comedy falls short.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    In Too Deep
    With a strong soundtrack and a little humor, In Too Deep remains good entertainment.
    • Newsweek
  25. Teaching Mrs. Tingle
    There are some very funny moments, and Coughlan is a delight as Leigh Anne's best friend.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mickey Blue Eyes
    Though the movie suffers from an underdeveloped plot, it does benefit from solid acting.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Brokedown Palace
    The plotting could use some finessing, but fine acting makes this film worthwhile.
  28. Bowfinger
    Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are both in peak form.
  29. The Thomas Crown Affair
    Slick, gaudily suave guilty pleasure of a movie.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mystery Men
    A lightly entertaining, though not hilarious, film parody of comic book heroes.
