  1. Together
    This hilarious and humane film nails its subject -- not just the unshaved armpits and the lack of underwear -- and marks Moodysson as a talent to watch.
  2. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    A blast of comic irreverence that serves as a starring vehicle for two stoner characters who had previously been relegated to the sidelines.
  3. Summer Catch
    Filming this mess in North Carolina (strike three).
  4. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
    It's a real charmer from a director who feels that a knockabout romantic farce doesn't have to be mindless -- take that, "America's Sweethearts."
  5. Lisa Picard Is Famous
    As heartfelt as it is hilarious.
    • Rolling Stone
  6. Rat Race
    Overheated, underdone farce. Race for the exit.
  7. American Pie 2
    A slipshod sequel that looks tossed together over a weekend by people who couldn't care less.
  8. Osmosis Jones
    Too crude for the kids and not crude enough for connoisseurs of the "Something About Mary" school of hair jism and balls caught in zippers, Osmosis Jones seems doomed to fall between the cracks.
  9. Session 9
    A spine-tingler directed with fierce finesse.
  10. The Others
    Only some bumpy, arid passages in the script keep The Others out of the master class occupied by the likes of "The Sixth Sense" and, my favorite, 1961's "The Innocents."
  11. The Deep End
    Springs surprises that entertain and provoke.
  12. Original Sin
    An erotic thriller with flaws.
  13. Rush Hour 2
    Winds up being faster and funnier than the first time. Chan's acrobatic high jinks play strikingly off of Tucker's wiseass humor.
  14. Apocalypse Now Redux
    With Apocalypse Now Redux — one for the ages when it comes to the moral battles of war — Coppola has reached the finish line at last. It smells like victory.
  15. Planet of the Apes
    With the exception of a battle scene with apes on all fours charging the humans, the film is monumentally silly.
  16. Wet Hot American Summer
    Lulls aside, Wain and Showalter deserve camp kudos for getting the details right.
  17. America's Sweethearts
    Chockablock with things we're not supposed to notice: that Roberts is wasted; that she and Cusack have no characters to play, so it's virtually impossible to understand why she loves him or vice versa; that the script provides comedy without bite and romance without resonance.
  18. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
    Mitchell gives this post-punk, neo-glam rock extravaganza everything in his loaded arsenal of talents. He gets the sound right, the look right, the fun right and - this is crucial - the pain right.
  19. Ghost World
    Let the unsettling secrets of this outrageously funny and steadily engrossing meditation on the life of two high school misfits after graduation catch you by surprise. It's that good.
  20. Jurassic Park III
    Stinks worse than dino dung. Sure, the creatures look good.
  21. The Score
    There's more suspense in watching Brando, who has trouble with physical exertion, get on and off a bar stool than the robbery itself. Still, Brando -- his eyes alive with mischief --is the life of the movie.
  22. Made
    Smash acting debut of Combs, who brings ease and charm to a crime lord.
  23. Legally Blonde
    Witherspoon -- though miles from the keen satire of "Election" -- stays one sharp cookie even as her film crumbles.
  24. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
    But the film exerts a hold. The crux is: for how long?
  25. The Crimson Rivers
    Makes you gag.
  26. The Closet
    Auteuil and Depardieu spar hilariously, and writer-director Francis Veber, following "The Dinner Game," offers another delicious treat.
  27. Crazy/Beautiful
    From the lowercase lettering of the title to the deadly familiarity of the plot, there is much to grate on your nerves in this TV Afterschool Special trying to pass as a real movie.
  28. A.I. Artificial Intelligence
    Whether audiences are pleased or vexed, very vexed, by A.I., any movie buff worth his salt will want to sift through this fascinating wreck of a movie.
  29. Baby Boy
    Lacks the cumulative impact of "Boyz," since Singleton allows repetition and sermonizing to dull his theme about the infantilization of black males. But Baby Boy leaves you shaken.
  30. The Fast and the Furious
    Rob Cohen, who last directed "The Skulls" --ouch! -- can consider this one another career-killing skid mark.
