  1. Two Ninas
    Turitz keeps it comic and romantic in just the right doses. Looking for a fun date flick? You found it.
  2. Sugar & Spice
    Give the girls a cheer, but remember: "Bring It On" is still the poo, Missy. Take a big whiff.
  3. The Pledge
    In crafting a fierce, fragmented, downbeat film about a character who makes the wrong decision as a man by being right as a cop, Penn flies in the face of what sells in Hollywood. Godspeed.
  4. Snatch.
    Ritchie's got something all his own: a go-for-broke energy that cuts through the cliches of the crime genre.
  5. Panic
    A black-comedy gem.
  6. Antitrust
    Gives us good reason to believe that January really is the month Hollywood studios use to bury their cheesiest mistakes.
  7. Save the Last Dance
    Carter can't sidestep the script's cliches, so he wisely cuts to the fancy footwork whenever possible.
  8. The Claim
    Draws an electric performance from Peter Mullan.
  9. Shadow of the Vampire
    It's a mesmerizing spectacle.
  10. All the Pretty Horses
    It doesn't help that Damon and Cruz fail to generate sparks or that the second half of the film, in which John and Lacey face hell in a Mexican prison, feels bluntly edited to fit a two-hour running time.

  11. Vatel
    This putrid dish marks a new low for director Roland Joffe.
  12. An Everlasting Piece
    The humor is slight, but the actors make the blarney go down easy.
  13. Malèna
    Nothing new here except model-turned-actress Bellucci. To call her noteworthy would be an understatement.
  14. Before Night Falls
    In uniting to honor Arenas, Bardem and Schnabel create something extraordinary.
    • Rolling Stone
  15. The House of Mirth
    The House of Mirth is not one of those teacup and doily movies; it's harsh and disturbing. Davies does superlatively right by Wharton. There's blood on the walls.
    • Rolling Stone
  16. Dracula 2000
    Dracula may stay undead in the new millennium, but there's not a sign of life - oh, that bloodless acting - in this sorry mess.
  17. Miss Congeniality
    I'd rather be buried in a mound of Floridian chad than watch director Donald Petrie force Bullock to jump through another desperately unfunny comic hoop.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. State and Main
    You may want to revisit this profanely hilarious Hollywood satire. . .just to catch the zingers the audience often drowns out with laughter. Hollywood corrupts absolutely, and Mamet turns the toxic process into the year's best and smartest comedy.
  19. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    It's a wild, whacked-out wonder. Coenheads rejoice.
  20. The Family Man
    Starting to feel sick? Just you wait.
    • Rolling Stone
  21. Finding Forrester
    The ending leans to soap opera, but Van Sant, revisiting the closet-genius theme of "Good Will Hunting" is too keen an observer of character to let this funny and touching film go soft.
  22. The Gift
    The Gift delivers the lurid goods as a scary, sexy, twist-a-minute whodunit.
  23. Pollock
    Ed Harris, who plays Pollock and makes his debut as a director - doing both jobs superbly, by the way - is angst incarnate.
  24. Chocolat
    A sinfully scrumptious bonbon.
  25. Vertical Limit
    Pulls off thrilling stunts that will leave you a sweaty-palmed mess. It's top-tier movie escapism.
    • Rolling Stone
  26. Proof of Life
    Slim pickings.
    • Rolling Stone
  27. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    Ang Lee, a world-class director working at the top of his elegant form, has done something thrilling. For all the leaping action, it's the film's spirit that soars.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. Unbreakable
    It's rare that a a movie leaves you pinned to your seat, wanting to see it again -- right now, this minute -- to work out the pieces of the puzzle. Unbreakable is one of those movies.
    • Rolling Stone
  29. Quills
    A savage comedy of sexual extremes; the barbed laughs draw blood.
    • Rolling Stone
  30. The 6th Day
    Offers action in the Arnold Schwarzenegger style. Well, not right away.
