  1. Topsy-Turvy
    The year's most beguilling and touching surprise. Bravo.
    • Rolling Stone
  2. Magnolia
    One of the best movies of the year--startling, innovative, hugely funny and powerfully, courageously moving.
    • Rolling Stone
  3. Diamonds
    Isn't much of a movie, but it's worth a look just to see screen legend Kirk Douglas, Michael's eighty-three-year-old father, kick ass.
    • Rolling Stone
  4. Stir of Echoes
    Compared with ("The Sixth Sense"), there's no contest. Stir of Echoes has been outrun and outclassed.
    • Rolling Stone
  5. The Green Mile
    But just watch Hanks, with the effortless grace of a Jimmy Stewart, turn the loony into something sweetly logical. Now that is magic.
    • Rolling Stone
  6. Tumbleweeds
    McTeer and Brown make magic ina film that is wonderfully funny, touching and vital.
    • Rolling Stone
  7. Ride with the Devil
    A meditation on the racial and class conflicts at the heart of the American character.
    • Rolling Stone
  8. All About My Mother
    Pedro Almodovar's transfixing tragicomedy -- the best foreign movie of the year -- is also the best showcase for actresses in ages.
    • Rolling Stone
  9. Sleepy Hollow
    Gorgeous filmmaking that brims over with funhouse thrills and ravishing romance.
    • Rolling Stone
  10. Liberty Heights
    I could have done more with the edgy humor of "Diner" and "Tin Men" and less of the mythmaking of "Avalon."
    • Rolling Stone
  11. Anywhere But Here
    Formula mother-brat stuff...It's only the deft teamwork of Portman and Sarandon that keeps the triteness at bay.
    • Rolling Stone
  12. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    For the 148 minutes it takes "The Messenger" to deliver its message, being John Malkovich or Milla Jovovich is really no fun at all.
    • Rolling Stone
  13. Dogma
    The first commandment of Dogma: Thou shalt not stop laughing.
    • Rolling Stone
  14. The Bone Collector
    Abandon all hope of logic, you who enter here.
    • Rolling Stone
  15. The Insider
    With it's dynamite performances, strafing wit and dramatic provocation, The Insider offers Mann at his best -- blood up, unsanitized and unbowed.
    • Rolling Stone
  16. Music of the Heart
    If "Mr. Holland's Opus" made you puke, you'd better bring a bucket to this true-life weepie about the importance of teaching music in schools.
    • Rolling Stone
  17. Being John Malkovich
    The crazy-ass imagination at work in Being John Malkovich hits you like a blast of pure oxygen...this movie of constant astonishments will make you laugh hard and long.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. Man of the Century
    A lighter-than-air comedy than runs on pure fizz.
    • Rolling Stone
  19. The Best Man
    Charmer of a comedy.
    • Rolling Stone
  20. Three to Tango
    The kind of movie that TV stars do when they're on hiatus and trying to squeeze one in.
    • Rolling Stone
  21. Body Shots
    Trash.
    • Rolling Stone
  22. Crazy in Alabama
    Somehow, Lucille's plight is meant to comment astutely on the civil-rights movement. Now that IS crazy.
    • Rolling Stone
  23. Bringing Out the Dead
    Cage, who gives a blazing, imposive performance, uses his haunted eyes to reveal the emotional scars that Frank can't heal.
    • Rolling Stone
  24. The Story of Us
    Turns into a bogus drivel courtesy of a sitcom monster.
    • Rolling Stone
  25. The Straight Story
    Lynch takes us on a journey of shattering understatement -- a remarkable accomplishment.
    • Rolling Stone
  26. Fight Club
    Pulls you in, challenges your prejudices, rocks your world and leaves you laughing in the face of an abyss. It's alive, all right. It's also an uncompromising American classic.
    • Rolling Stone
  27. Random Hearts
    Even a search party would be hard-pressed to find a spark between Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas in Pollack's latest tear-jerker.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. The Limey
    A mesmerizing mood piece.
    • Rolling Stone
  29. Superstar
    No dice...But no apologies are needed for Shannon--she earns her star spot.
    • Rolling Stone
  30. Boys Don't Cry
    A shockingly intimate and deeply affecting film about the roots of sexual role playing.
    • Rolling Stone
