  1. Pay It Forward
    Crass manipulation can clean up at the box office, so do your part: Nail this flick as a bottom feeder and pay the bad word forward to three others.
    • Rolling Stone
  2. Bedazzled
    Should have been a fun update on the 1967 Brit farce. Director/co-writer Ramis comes on too strong with the camper trickery.
    • Rolling Stone
  3. Just Looking
    There's not that much that's new in screenwriter Marshall Karp's sitcom-ish memoir, but Alexander keeps the laughs coming.
    • Rolling Stone
  4. Lost Souls
    If the devil made them all do it, he's one dull bastard.
    • Rolling Stone
  5. Dr T and the Women
    Altman orchestrates Dr. T's odyssey with the precision, heart and lively wit of a virtuoso.
    • Rolling Stone
  6. The Contender
    Until The Contender slips into partisan politics and platitudinous piety, it's a lively, entertaining ride.
    • Rolling Stone
  7. Billy Elliot
    Bell explodes onscreen in a performance that cuts to the heart without sham tearjerking. Look for Billy to blast off.
    • Rolling Stone
  8. Two Family House
    Writer-director Raymond De Felitta creates something wonderfully funny and touching.
    • Rolling Stone
  9. Bamboozled
    A frustratingly uneven satire with undeniably sharp teeth, isn't afraid to shoot comic darts at its targets until blood is drawn.
    • Rolling Stone
  10. Yi Yi
    A marvel of delicacy and humor.
    • Rolling Stone
  11. Meet the Parents
    A hilarious hodgepodge, in which De Niro gives his best comic performance to date.
    • Rolling Stone
  12. Requiem for a Dream
    No one interested in the power and magic of movies should miss it.
    • Rolling Stone
  13. Girlfight
    A strong, stinging film, alive with conflicts that defy glib resolutions.
    • Rolling Stone
  14. Remember the Titans
    Distressingly shallow.
    • Rolling Stone
  15. Best in Show
    Waggish fun like this is too good to miss.
    • Rolling Stone
  16. The Fantasticks
    Shot five years ago by director Michael Ritchie. No release until now. Uh-oh. Disaster? Pretty much.
    • Rolling Stone
  17. Under Suspicion
    Hackman and Freeman will pin you to your seat.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. Woman on Top
    Cruz is a dish, but her movie is as soggy and indigestible as Styrofoam.
    • Rolling Stone
  19. Tigerland
    Despite melodramatic lapses -- the gripping action recalls Walter Hill's 1981 "Southern Comfort" -- this is Schumacher's most ambitions film since "Falling Down" in 1993, and it plays to his strengths with young actors.
    • Rolling Stone
  20. Dancer in the Dark
    For all its fancy pedigree, the spellbinding Dancer in the Dark aims right for the heart and aces its target.
    • Rolling Stone
  21. Almost Famous
    If you haven't already sold your soul to rock & roll, Almost Famous should seal the deal.
    • Rolling Stone
  22. Nurse Betty
    As ever, Freeman delivers miracles; he's as good as it gets.
    • Rolling Stone
  23. The Way of the Gun
    Doesn't deliver an ounce of charm.
    • Rolling Stone
  24. Whipped
    Peet does it with a twinkle, finding class among the crass.
    • Rolling Stone
  25. The Cell
    Tarsem uses the dramatically shallow plot to create a dream world densely packed with images of beauty and terror that cling to the memory even if you don't want them to.
    • Rolling Stone
  26. The Original Kings of Comedy
    A tornado of laughs based on the black experience as lived by these four insightful jokers, instead of as filtered through the Hollywood formula.
    • Rolling Stone
  27. The Opportunists
    Modestly made and modestly charming.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. Cecil B. DeMented
    DeMented is Waters the way we like him--spiked with laughs and served with a twist.
    • Rolling Stone
  29. The Replacements
    What The Replacements does have is energy.
    • Rolling Stone
  30. The Tao of Steve
    Logue hits every note of humor and heart in his breakthrough role. Don't miss him. He's that good.
