  1. The Bourne Supremacy
    If you've forgotten the kick you get from watching a globe-trotting, butt-kicking, whiplash-paced action movie done with humor, style and smarts, take a ride with The Bourne Supremacy.
  2. A Cinderella Story
    It's probably the movie event of the summer if you're an eight-year-old girl who doesn't get out much.
  3. Maria Full of Grace
    Marston builds incredible tension. But it's the human drama etched on Moreno's young, weary face that gives Maria its potent punch.
  4. The Door in the Floor
    You can't shut the door on this spellbinder. It gets into your head.
  5. Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
    Don't let anyone spoil the surprises of this thrashing, thrilling chunk of cinematic gold. It's one for the time capsule.
  6. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
    There's no sense to the scene in which the boys get together for a close-harmony rendition of "Afternoon Delight" -- just pure pleasure.
  7. King Arthur
    Strains credulity at every turn.
  8. The Clearing
    The pleasures of this endeavor, directed with a keen eye for detail by Pieter Jan Brugge, come from what the actors bring to the material.
  9. Before Sunset
    There is something uniquely unforgettable in the way Linklater, Hawke and Delpy (equal collaborators on the script) find nuance, art and eroticism in words, spoken and unspoken. The actors shine.
  10. De-Lovely
    At its best, De-Lovely evokes a time, a place and a sound with stylish wit and sophistication.
  11. Spider-Man 2
    A sequel of twisted thrills and sly surprises.
  12. The Notebook
    I have the same allergic reaction to this open faucet of tear-jerking swill as I do to the 1996 Nicholas Sparks novel that inspired it.
  13. Fahrenheit 9/11
    Moore has marshaled what's on the record and off into a stinging indictment of where we're going. In a multiplex filled with Hollywood cotton candy, we need him more than ever.
  14. The Terminal
    In his sappiest film since 1989's "Always," director Steven Spielberg has come down with a case of the cutes that the whole cast catches.
  15. Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There
    It's one for the time capsule.
  16. The Stepford Wives
    Close gets laughs, as does Bette Midler as a Jewish rebel. But the sting is gone.
  17. Napoleon Dynamite
    Hess and his terrific cast -- Heder is geek perfection -- make their own kind of deadpan hilarity. You'll laugh till it hurts. Sweet.
  18. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Not only is this dazzler by far the best and most thrilling of the three Harry Potter movies to date, it's a film that can stand on its own even if you never heard of author J.K. Rowling and her young wizard hero.
  19. Saved!
    Fanaticism is Dannelly's target, not faith. That's what makes his film a keeper: It sticks with you.
  20. Baadasssss!
    The film is technically raw, but the sight of Van Peebles playing his father at a defining moment in movie history exerts a potent fascination.
  21. The Day After Tomorrow
    Don't ask whether or not you should take The Day After Tomorrow seriously. Don't take it at all.
  22. The Five Obstructions
    Keep "Survivor" and "Fear Factor," and give me this spellbinding mind teaser, the ultimate game for movie buffs.
  23. Raising Helen
    Despite Joan Cusack, whose comic spark earns the film its only star, Raising Helen is like tumbling into chick-flick hell.
  24. Stateside
    Anselmo, basing his script on a true story, juggles more plots than a full season of "The O.C.," setting his cast adrift in a sea of soap-opera bubbles.
  25. Shrek 2
    Shrek 2 may be computer-generated, but its innate heart and glorious sense of mischief make it one of the best and most humane movies of the summer.
  26. Coffee and Cigarettes
    Jarmusch makes it a feast that plays like a haunting concept album.
  27. Troy
    Troy lacks the focus of Gladiator, not to mention that Oscar winner's scrappy wit. But why kick a gift horse when you're in summer-movie heaven?
  28. Super Size Me
    It’s one of the blackest comedies to hit the screen since Dr. Strangelove. Spurlock proves himself a supersize talent; he makes you choke on every laugh.
  29. Van Helsing
    Here's a shrieking bore of a horror flick.
  30. Laws of Attraction
    They are all victims of a script of such colossal banality and gross stupidity that smiles freeze on their faces, leaving them looking trapped and desperate, much like the audience.
