  1. Vatel
    This putrid dish marks a new low for director Roland Joffe.
  2. An Everlasting Piece
    The humor is slight, but the actors make the blarney go down easy.
  3. Malèna
    Nothing new here except model-turned-actress Bellucci. To call her noteworthy would be an understatement.
  4. Before Night Falls
    In uniting to honor Arenas, Bardem and Schnabel create something extraordinary.
    • Rolling Stone
  5. The House of Mirth
    The House of Mirth is not one of those teacup and doily movies; it's harsh and disturbing. Davies does superlatively right by Wharton. There's blood on the walls.
    • Rolling Stone
  6. Dracula 2000
    Dracula may stay undead in the new millennium, but there's not a sign of life - oh, that bloodless acting - in this sorry mess.
  7. Miss Congeniality
    I'd rather be buried in a mound of Floridian chad than watch director Donald Petrie force Bullock to jump through another desperately unfunny comic hoop.
    • Rolling Stone
  8. State and Main
    You may want to revisit this profanely hilarious Hollywood satire. . .just to catch the zingers the audience often drowns out with laughter. Hollywood corrupts absolutely, and Mamet turns the toxic process into the year's best and smartest comedy.
  9. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    It's a wild, whacked-out wonder. Coenheads rejoice.
  10. The Family Man
    Starting to feel sick? Just you wait.
    • Rolling Stone
  11. Finding Forrester
    The ending leans to soap opera, but Van Sant, revisiting the closet-genius theme of "Good Will Hunting" is too keen an observer of character to let this funny and touching film go soft.
  12. The Gift
    The Gift delivers the lurid goods as a scary, sexy, twist-a-minute whodunit.
  13. Pollock
    Ed Harris, who plays Pollock and makes his debut as a director - doing both jobs superbly, by the way - is angst incarnate.
  14. Chocolat
    A sinfully scrumptious bonbon.
  15. Vertical Limit
    Pulls off thrilling stunts that will leave you a sweaty-palmed mess. It's top-tier movie escapism.
    • Rolling Stone
  16. Proof of Life
    Slim pickings.
    • Rolling Stone
  17. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    Ang Lee, a world-class director working at the top of his elegant form, has done something thrilling. For all the leaping action, it's the film's spirit that soars.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. Unbreakable
    It's rare that a a movie leaves you pinned to your seat, wanting to see it again -- right now, this minute -- to work out the pieces of the puzzle. Unbreakable is one of those movies.
    • Rolling Stone
  19. Quills
    A savage comedy of sexual extremes; the barbed laughs draw blood.
    • Rolling Stone
  20. The 6th Day
    Offers action in the Arnold Schwarzenegger style. Well, not right away.
    • Rolling Stone
  21. Men of Honor
    Passes muster as an old-style biopic with its heart in the right place. There won't be a dry eye in the house.
    • Rolling Stone
  22. Little Nicky
    Where's Sandler in all this? Lost in gimmicks that smack of desperation. Damn it.
    • Rolling Stone
  23. You Can Count on Me
    There may be bigger, costlier, weighter films this year. There's none lovelier.
    • Rolling Stone
  24. The Legend of Bagger Vance
    Redford plays the game of filmmaking to reveal what he holds sacred: story, character, feeling, thoughtful pacing, and an alertness of nuances of honor and shame that most movies skip in the rush to the rush.
    • Rolling Stone
  25. Charlie's Angels
    These kickass Barbies bring heart to a machine tooled genre.
    • Rolling Stone
  26. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    While the first movie steadily tighened its vise, the second loosens its grip through strained acting and incoherent plotting.
    • Rolling Stone
  27. Lucky Numbers
    Ephron, try as she might, can't give her codified champagne spin to a Resnick script that all too quickly runs out of fizz.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. George Washington
    Green has created a work of startling originality that will haunt you for a good, long time.
    • Rolling Stone
  29. The Yards
    Self-importance sinks this one like a stone.
    • Rolling Stone
  30. Calle 54
    A landmark musical tribute.
