  1. A Beautiful Mind
    Sadly, Howard blands out in the final third, using old-age makeup and tear-jerking to turn a tough true story into something easily digestible. Until then, you'll be riveted.
  2. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
    Fellowship is the real deal, a movie epic that pops your eyes out, piles on thrills and fun, and yet stays intimately attuned to character.
  3. Kandahar
    You won't forget this film -- it's devastating.
  4. Lantana
    The acting is top-notch, and LaPaglia, who makes the cop's torment palpable, gives the performance of his career.
  5. Piñero
    There's a strong movie in this life, but writer-director Leon Ichaso ("Sugar Hill") hasn't found it.
  6. Iris
    Director Richard Eyre has struck gold. Twice. Dench and Winslet are a riveting matchup.
  7. The Royal Tenenbaums
    Anderson offers no phony uplift for the Tenenbaums or for audiences. But he does know how to take a sad song and make it better. In these troubled times, that's a gift.
  8. Vanilla Sky
    Crowe's tantalizing film sticks with you.
  9. Last Orders
    A funny and touching film that is gorgeously acted by a British cast to rival Gosford Park's.
  10. The Business of Strangers
    A maliciously funny and keenly observant movie -- director-writer Patrick Stettner makes a potent feature debut -- that serves its humor dark and without artificial sweeteners.
  11. No Man's Land
    Fierce, funny and finally devastating, Tanovic's superb film offers a timely look at the roots of civil war and acts of terrorism on both sides that can be exploited by political and media hypocrites alike.
  12. Ocean's Eleven
    Forget Oscar, Ocean's Eleven is the coolest damned thing around.
  13. ABCD
    In this funny, touching and haunting film, Patel cuts through stereotypes to show the hard truths of straddling two cultures.
  14. In the Bedroom
    An uncommonly good movie - a thriller that transcends thrills to become a heartfelt and heart-stopping personal drama.
  15. Novocaine
    Slack direction fails to touch a nerve. Martin was scarier and funnier extracting Bill Murray's molars without Novocaine in "Little Shop of Horrors." Now that was one crazy dentist.
  16. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    Is the movie any good? At the dawn of the twenty-first century, when art is defined by commerce, this question is beside the point.
  17. Heist
    Mamet -- crafts tangy, well-seasoned dialogue that a good cast can feast on. And this cast is prime.
  18. Shallow Hal
    For the first time, the Farrellys seem to be embarrassed by their own crudeness. For the first time, they should be.
  19. Monsters, Inc.
    It's the Pixar animators who keep grown-ups as riveted as the kids with visual marvels that dazzle and delight.
  20. The Man Who Wasn't There
    Steadily engrossing and devilishly funny, and, o brother, does it look sharp.
  21. Life as a House
    Christensen is the only jolt of excitement in this turgid soap opera.
  22. Focus
    No denying the relevance of the tale.
  23. Intimacy
    It isn't the sex that shocks here, it's the chilling core of loneliness. Intimacy dares to cut deep, and its daring gets to you.
  24. From Hell
    The Hughes boys blow it by burying a fine cast -- Robbie Coltrane as a cop and Ian Holm as a royal sawbones are standouts -- in stock scares, sappy romance and cliches that really are from hell.
  25. Waking Life
    That Linklater pulls off the innovative feat with hypnotic assurance is nothing short of amazing.
  26. Bandits
    What started as cute becomes cloying and bloated. Charm should never feel like it weighs a ton.
  27. Mulholland Dr.
    The challenge is exhilarating. You can discover a lot about yourself by getting lost in Mulholland Drive. It grips you like a dream that won't let go.
  28. Fat Girl
    An absolute stunner of a movie.
  29. Joy Ride
    If you're looking to have your nerves fried and your pulse pounded, this is your ticket to ride.
  30. Serendipity
    Does romantic comedy have to come off as sugared stupidity? It does here.
