  1. Happy, Texas
    Keeps the laughs coming, and a dynamo named Steve Zahn is the cheif reason why. It's a one-joke movie, but the cast knows how to sell it.
    • Rolling Stone
  2. Three Kings
    When it comes to rousing action, whip-smart laughs and moral uplift that doesn't pump sunshine up your ass, Three Kings rules.
    • Rolling Stone
  3. Double Jeopardy
    Judd is slumming again in ths lame suspense yarn that could barely pass as a TV quickie without the bankable names of Judd, Tommy Lee Jones and director Bruce Beresford.
    • Rolling Stone
  4. Mumford
    A fine case ... but none weighty enough to keep this fluff from evaporating as you watch it.
    • Rolling Stone
  5. Jakob the Liar
    The self-congratulatory histrionics of Williams, lower lip trembling as he triumphs over torture in the name of the human spirit, represents a trend in Hollywood to make accessible melodrama out of unspeakable tragedy.
    • Rolling Stone
  6. Guinevere
    Offers something magical in the haunting and hypnotic performance of Sarah Polley...(the film) cuts deep.
    • Rolling Stone
  7. Sugar Town
    Never adds up to anything more substantial than shrewd observations. There's no dramatic core.
    • Rolling Stone
  8. Breakfast of Champions
    Quite a spectacle, but the movie falls flat.
    • Rolling Stone
  9. For Love of the Game
    Plays like an unholy union of "The Natural" and "The Prince of Tides." Too bad...Build a movie as a shrine to baseball and they will come. Suckers!
    • Rolling Stone
  10. Romance
    A cheerless exercise.
    • Rolling Stone
  11. American Beauty
    A triumph of acting, writing and directing that defies glib description...the kind of artful defiance that Hollywood is usually too timid to deliver: a jolting comedy that makes you laugh till it hurts.
    • Rolling Stone
  12. The Minus Man
    A potent thriller that grows in intensity as the audience realizes that the character it likes most is most likely a nut job.
    • Rolling Stone
  13. Stigmata
    There should be a place in hell for hacks who turn out derivative terror trash and then pretend they're doing an important investigative piece on Vatican corruption.
    • Rolling Stone
  14. Best Laid Plans
    Director Mike Barber springs a twist ending that makes you sit up and stifle those yawns.
    • Rolling Stone
  15. Outside Providence
    Baldwin is a marvel in a casting surprise that pays off.
    • Rolling Stone
  16. The Muse
    Built on a slender, one-joke whimsy -- and a tough one to buy into, at that.
    • Rolling Stone
  17. Bowfinger
    Inspired funny business that allows Martin to hilariously torpedo Hollywood's corrupt heart.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. Tarzan
    Propelled by Mark Mancina's percussive score, this Tarzan swings.
  19. An Ideal Husband
    What shakes the dust off this period piece is the vibrant acting.
  20. The General's Daughter
    Watching John Travolta ease into a role is always a pleasure, but this film version of Nelson DeMille's 1992 best-selling mystery novel is a lurid mess.
  21. Limbo
    Limbo is vital personal filmmaking from a world-class practitioner of the art.
  22. Never Been Kissed
    Toothless satire relatively inoffensive and relentlessly mediocre.
  23. Cookie's Fortune
    Altman clarifies a convoluted plot with a magician's ease, creates an atmosphere that brims with the pleasures of the unexpected and explores character nuances.
  24. Edtv
    Satire in a blanket of bland.
  25. A Walk on the Moon
    Whenever the drama drifts into soap opera, the actors restore the balance.
  26. Forces of Nature
    Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck as star-crossed lovers, is the cinematic equivalent of Styrofoam: a weightless romantic comedy of synthetic feelings.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Ravenous
    You don't want to see this bilge. Director Milcho Manchevski, who was fired in midproduction, is the only one with cause to celebrate.
  28. True Crime
    At first it's a kick to watch Clint Eastwood play Steve Everett, a horn-dog newsman...Is Clint being Clinton-esque? Even if he's not, these scenes are the liveliest part of this dog-tired movie.
  29. The Deep End of the Ocean
    The film ultimately gives in to a case of TV-movie blahs.
  30. The Corruptor
    What you get in this cop drama is NYPD Blue lite. That's not bad. In fact, it's compulsively watchable. But there are no leaps, just fits and starts.
