  1. Insomnia
    It's taut, tense and terrific.
  2. The Importance of Being Earnest
    Everett, whose scenes with Firth are a droll delight, nails every sly laugh. And Witherspoon adds her own legally blond American sparkle to this British party.
  3. The Believer
    Unique and unforgettable.
  4. About a Boy
    The acid comedy of Grant's performance carries the film. It helps also that newcomer Hoult is that rare child actor who mercifully underplays the pathos of his role.
  5. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
    The dark fantasist in Lucas makes a comeback after years of once-over-lightly.
  6. The Lady and the Duke
    Old master Eric Rohmer, 82, uses new tricks in the form of painted backdrops inserted digitally to create a virtual reality. Rohmer goes Lucas - who could have guessed?
  7. Unfaithful
    Lane is a force of nature. Her slow-burning, fiercely erotic performance charges the movie.
  8. The Mystic Masseur
    Thanks to the clever, caring touch of director Ismail Merchant, working from a script by Caryl Phillips, this steadily engrossing film captures the book's bracing humor and humanity.
  9. Hollywood Ending
    Funny but perilously slight.
  10. Spider-Man
    Maguire and Dunst keep Spider-Man on a high with their sweet-sexy yearning, spinning a web of dazzle and delicacy that might just restore the good name of movie escapism.
  11. The Salton Sea
    It's Vincent D'Onofrio as Pooh-Bear, a drug lord who's snorted so much meth his nose had to be replaced by a plastic one, who kicks ass.

  12. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    Like Vardalos and Corbett, who play their roles with vibrant charm, the film, directed by Joel Zwick, is heartfelt and hilarious in ways you can't fake. It's a keeper.
  13. Murder by Numbers
    A sappy big-screen version of TV's "CSI."
  14. Enigma
    A riveting and surprisingly romantic ride.
  15. Nine Queens
    Leaves you feeling tense and terrific. It's fun to be fooled.
  16. The Triumph of Love
    What we're watching, however charming, is a fancifully costumed theater piece that cuts off the oxygen needed to make a play breathe onscreen.
  17. The Cat's Meow
    Elegant, funny and unexpectedly touching, this whodunit about a murder aboard the yacht of William Randolph Hearst represents a bracing comeback for Peter Bogdanovich.
  18. Changing Lanes
    What these guys do for revenge during one hellish day in the Big Apple makes the panic room look like Barney's toy box. The film itself goes off the deep end way before the end credits.
  19. Run Ronnie Run
    Though the material isn't up to Mr. Show's high standards, some great laughs abound.
  20. Big Trouble
    The big problem with Big Trouble, despite a fine cast and director (Sonnenfeld made "Get Shorty" and "Men in Black"), is that the damn thing isn't funny.
  21. Van Wilder
    Painfully flat gross-out comedy.
  22. The Rookie
    Scores a solid hit.
  23. The Piano Teacher
    Watching Haneke's film is, aptly enough, a challenge and a punishment. But watching Huppert, a great actress tearing into a landmark role, is riveting.
  24. Time Out
    Recoing gives a performance that won't soon be forgotten. Neither will Time Out. It's a great movie.
  25. Death to Smoochy
    This black-comic assault on family entertainment is going to set a lot of teeth on edge -- If only his (De Vito's) material were better this time.
  26. Panic Room
    Panic Room is Fincher's high-style testament to the cool things movies can do to make us jump out of our seats in the dark.
  27. No Such Thing
    Does he (Hartley) succeed? Not with a movie this plodding, peevish and gimmicky. Is it fun to watch him try? Me, I'll take failed ambition over hack efficiency any day.
  28. Harrison's Flowers
    Director Elie Chouraqui, who co-wrote the script, catches the chaotic horror of war, but why bother if you're going to subjugate truth to the tear-jerking demands of soap opera?
  29. Showtime
    Add Showtime to the pile of Hollywood dreck that represents nothing more than the art of the deal.
  30. Y Tu Mamá También
    Cuaron's hot-blooded, haunting and wildly erotic film revels in the pleasures of the flesh without losing touch with thought and feeling.
