  1. Made
    Smash acting debut of Combs, who brings ease and charm to a crime lord.
  2. Legally Blonde
    Witherspoon -- though miles from the keen satire of "Election" -- stays one sharp cookie even as her film crumbles.
  3. 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.
  4. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
    But the film exerts a hold. The crux is: for how long?
  5. The Closet
    Auteuil and Depardieu spar hilariously, and writer-director Francis Veber, following "The Dinner Game," offers another delicious treat.
  6. The Crimson Rivers
    Makes you gag.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Dr. Dolittle 2
    Alleged family fun.
  11. The Fast and the Furious
    Rob Cohen, who last directed "The Skulls" --ouch! -- can consider this one another career-killing skid mark.
  12. Songcatcher
    McTeer and the transporting music hold you in thrall.
  13. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
    Slick-dick director Simon West, of "Con Air" and "The General's Daughter" infamy, continues to show no flair at all for blending action and character. Jolie and Lara deserved better. So did we.
  14. Sexy Beast
    Kingsley creates an unforgettable monster. Acting rarely gets this hypnotically explosive.
  15. Evolution
    It's refried comic beans that smell stale and smack of desperation.
  16. The Anniversary Party
    They turn what could have been an acting stunt into an intimate and compelling study of bruised emotions.
  17. Swordfish
    Exhibits rank incompetence on every level.
  18. Rape Me
    Certainly blunt, and since Anderson and Bach are veterans of the porn trade, there is no skimping on the sex.
  19. The Animal
    Reeks like something produced from a squatting position.
  20. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Lawrence forgoes his knack for verbal comedy and replaces it with crude nonstop mugging.
  21. The Man Who Cried
    Potter gets the period details right, but the film itself has long since flown off the rails, miring good intentions in rank soap opera.
  22. The Road Home
    The director finds poetry in the face of his lead actress, whose performance is as luminous and moving as the film itself.
  23. Pearl Harbor
    The film has no soul. An epic about this day of infamy should shake you to the core. But the real infamy about Pearl Harbor is that when you exit, you don't feel a thing.
  24. Angel Eyes
    A romantic thriller of more than usual ineptitude.
  25. Moulin Rouge!
    The grand becomes grandiose and the lyrical turns bombastic.
  26. Shrek
    A world-class charmer that could even seduce the Academy when it hands out the first official animation Oscar next year.
  27. Startup.com
    Delivers more suspense than a tombful of mummies.
  28. A Knight's Tale
    It's a dumb summer movie done with smarts.
  29. About Adam
    Writer-director Gerard Stembridge keeps the amoral laughs bubbling.
  30. Under the Sand
    It's a role of fierce demands, and Rampling meets them all. In a summer of crass, Rampling is a true class act.
