  1. Curse of the Golden Flower
    Director Zhang Yimou's ambitious attempt to blend martial arts action with Shakespearean melodrama. It's not a perfect marriage but it offers two hours of solidly over-the-top entertainment featuring incredible visuals and powerful performances by international icons Gong Li and Chow Yun Fat.
  2. Camelot
    There are times when musical/comedy elements and the darker, serious drama of the love triangle war with each other. This is one of the great romantic tragedies of all time, and the film falls short of doing it justice.
  3. Elling
    An enjoyable experience.
  4. The Science of Sleep
    What "Eternal Sunshine" did with magic and whimsy, The Science of Sleep accomplishes with confusion and pretentiousness.
  5. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
    The film embraces the value of pursuing one’s dreams while extolling the virtues of haute couture. My guess is that it will appeal strongly to the Downton Abbey faithful.
  6. Doubt
    An intellectually and emotionally exhausting and engrossing experience. It is drama of the highest caliber.
  7. Liar Liar
    Carrey is forced to confine his antics to the needs of Liar Liar's unimaginative screenplay, and the results are mixed.
  8. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
    The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is about the most fun you can have with three guys who like to dress up as women.
  9. Soul Food
    Soul Food stays a cut above the average melodrama by keeping the characters grounded and the situations from becoming too ripe.
  10. Nightmare Alley
    The darkness isn’t skin-deep; it permeates the material. Nightmare Alley may not be the feel-good film of 2021 but it leaves a lasting impression.
  11. The Hoax
    As a movie, The Hoax isn't a fraud but it's not the real deal, either.
  12. Outsourced
    Sweet and light. It's a celebration of cultural diversity and an affirmation that, despite differences in race, religion, and societal norms, people are essentially the same.
  13. 21 Grams
    A stunning kaleidoscope of a motion picture - a mosaic of images that gradually resolves itself into a powerful tale of tragedy and redemption.
  14. Caramel
    It's refreshing for a romantic comedy not to follow the formula by rote. I only wish I could be as enthusiastic about the amount of screen time accorded to certain characters who are more tedious than endearing.
  15. Rampart
    It is fair to argue that, at least in the case of Rampart, Woody Harrelson is better than the material in which he appears.
  16. Your Friends & Neighbors
    As was true for "In the Company of Men," LaBute doesn't care if viewers are offended. Supported by a fine group of actors, he tells the story without compromises, and that gives us a refreshing alternative to multiplex fare.
  17. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
    Yankovic understands and takes to heart the maxim of never letting the facts get in the way of a good story.
  18. Clerks
    Nothing, no matter how outrageous, is beyond Smith, and his willingness to flaunt cinematic taboos is one of the reasons why Clerks is such a unqualified success.
  19. Cimarron
    Despite its flashy production design and big budget, it's shallow and unsatisfying and primarily interesting for what it says about the views of society when it was made.
  20. The Old Guard
    The Old Guard blends the intelligence of a well-written dramatic sci-fi/fantasy tale with the action/adventure of a big budget motion picture.
  21. Contagion
    Contagion is the best movie made to date about an epidemic/pandemic.
  22. The School of Flesh
    This is a film to be enjoyed on a psychological level for its keen understanding of the contradictory impulses that drive sexual and social intercourse.
  23. Pieces of April
    Despite its themes of terminal illness, dysfunctional families, and the need to heal old wounds, the film spends more time provoking laughter than tears.
  24. Bad Santa
    It has two modes: dark and darker, and dares to do some things with the Christmas motif that haven't been done since Norman Rene's "Reckless."
  25. District B13
    District B13 is action porn. It's a series of amazingly choreographed, kinetic action sequences tied together by a laughably bad script and worse acting.
  26. Cronos
    Cronos is more concerned with ideas and atmosphere than people.
  27. Double Lover
    Double Lover may not represent Ozon in peak form but it’s too weirdly entertaining to dismiss out-of-hand.
  28. The Day Shall Come
    The Day Shall Come is an angry film – funny at times but with an acidic underpinning.
  29. Materialists
    I found Materialists to be overlong but not unpleasant but there’s a lack of balance in the way the secondary characters and side-plots are more engaging than the bland central romantic triangle.
  30. The Phoenician Scheme
    For those who enjoy Anderson’s patented quirkiness, The Phoenician Scheme doesn’t disappoint. Assembled with the abettance of longtime friend and collaborator Roman Coppola, Anderson has almost completely dispensed with a conventional storyline in service of a movie that delights in parodying seemingly anything and everything.
