  1. Center Stage
    The cliched script by Carol Heikkinen plays like "Dawson's Creek" in toeshoes.
    • Rolling Stone
  2. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    With this kind of epic ineptitude -- hell, the flick is set in the year 3000 -- you go for "worst of the millennium."
    • Rolling Stone
  3. Hamlet
    Thou wilt be dazzled.
    • Rolling Stone
  4. Up at the Villa
    It's fun to see Sean Penn portray a playboy, like Bogart in "Casablanca," who hides his true heart behind a layer of cynicism.
    • Rolling Stone
  5. I Dreamed of Africa
    Plods along in the Oscar-winning, yawn-inducing tradition of "Out of Africa," making me yearn for something less "National Geographic."
    • Rolling Stone
  6. Gladiator
    Glorious, a colossus of rousing action and ferocious fun.
    • Rolling Stone
  7. Committed
    It's a one-joke premise that ultimately wears thin, but Krueger works some playful variations on a theme.
    • Rolling Stone
  8. Frequency
    The time shifting raises questions the movie never answers, but it's hard not to enjoy the ride.
    • Rolling Stone
  9. The Idiots
    With shocking humor and surprising grace, Von Trier creates something unique and memorable.
    • Rolling Stone
  10. Timecode
    Even with sex, drugs, hip-hop and a murder, these four stories are dull, dull, dull, dull.
    • Rolling Stone
  11. Croupier
    Taut, tense and enthralling, as smart and surprising as it protagonist.
    • Rolling Stone
  12. U-571
    A rip-roaring action adventure.
    • Rolling Stone
  13. The Virgin Suicides
    Coppola gives Suicides a haunted quality that is undeniably affecting, a feeling intensified by a wonderfully funny and touching Dunst.
    • Rolling Stone
  14. Keeping the Faith
    A funny and touching date movie that dares to celebrate decency.
    • Rolling Stone
  15. American Psycho
    An uneven movie that nonetheless bristles with stinging wit and exerts a perverse fascination.
    • Rolling Stone
  16. 28 Days
    Count this rehab a success.
    • Rolling Stone
  17. Where the Money Is
    With Newman, the movie emerges as a lively character piece with flashes of humor and grace.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. East Is East
    Get your titles straight -- this is the good one, and a roaring good time.
    • Rolling Stone
  19. Est - Ouest
    Director Regis Warginer ("Indochine") lets his film degenerate into a turgid melodrama.
    • Rolling Stone
  20. The Filth and the Fury
    A kickass documentary.
    • Rolling Stone
  21. Joe Gould's Secret
    It's a tall order that Tucci is not up to filling. But don't discount the pleasure of watching him try.
    • Rolling Stone
  22. Rules of Engagement
    Friedkin turns on the juice and Jones and Jackson let it rip.
    • Rolling Stone
  23. Return to Me
    A top cast, guided by actress Bonnie Hunt in her directing debut, mixes comedy and corn with savvy.
    • Rolling Stone
  24. Me Myself I
    Karmel delivers feminist fun even a guy can get.
    • Rolling Stone
  25. Black and White
    This lively mess proves that when Toback loses his head, he does it with style.
    • Rolling Stone
  26. Beau Travail
    Unique and unforgettable.
    • Rolling Stone
  27. High Fidelity
    All the pieces hang together. You can't say that about many movies.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. Waking the Dead
    Gorden teases out some affecting scenes, but not enough to carry a film that promises more than it delivers.
    • Rolling Stone
  29. Romeo Must Die
    Who needs iambic pentameter when you have Jet Li around?
    • Rolling Stone
  30. Erin Brockovich
    Outrageously, even shamelessly, entertaining.
    • Rolling Stone
