  1. At First Sight
    May be only loosely true, but it is thoroughly Hollywood.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Little Voice
    Taking it's framework from classic fairly-tale characters like Cinderella, the British story of Little Voice is one of compassion, humor and music.
  3. Very Bad Things
    This is Berg's debut outing as a director, but other first-timers, namely Joel Coen (Blood Simple) and Danny Boyle (Shallow Grave), had it all over him for blending horror and hilarity.
  4. Celebrity
    Suffers from lulls and lapses and one lulu of a casting gaffe, but this keenly observant spoof of the fame game is hardly the work of a burnout.
  5. Enemy of the State
    Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott have wisely set their course by Will Smith, who is sensational in a dramatic role that leans on him to carry a movie without the help of aliens or Big Willie-style jokes for every occasion.
  6. Meet Joe Black
    A movie about death that stubbornly refuses to come to life.
  7. Velvet Goldmine
    The plot only slows a film that works best as a feast of sight and sound.
  8. The Siege
    The Siege is not a documentary but a glossy Hollywood entertainment that is prey to all the exaggerations, simplifications and acting histrionics that come with the genre.
  9. The Waterboy
    Offers dumb fun without apology.
  10. Elizabeth
    The film belongs to Blanchett -- this hellcat Virgin Queen is something to see.
  11. Gods and Monsters
    Elegantly witty and haunting . . . McKellen gives the performance of his career . . . and Brendan Fraser excels.

  12. Living Out Loud
    LaGravenese may be unsteady at the helm, but his film insinuates like a torch song that keeps messing with your head.
  13. Beloved
    What is surprising -- remarkable even -- is that Beloved arrives onscreen with a minimum of dull virtue, gagging uplift and slick Hollywood gloss.
  14. Slam
    Any cornball contrivances in the plot dissipate in watching the knockout talent of Williams, a performance artist with the exhilarating fire that only the best actors possess.
  15. What Dreams May Come
    How can a film look so radiant and be so hollow?
  16. Antz
    Refreshingly naughty and nice.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Ronin
    Ronin represents an exhilarating return to form for Frankenheimer.
  18. One True Thing
    Even director Carl Franklin, an artful purveyor of sterner stuff in "One False Move" and "Devil in a Blue Dress," can't prevent One True Thing from descending into chick-movie hell.
  19. Rounders
    Stylish entertainment and smartass fun when director John Dahl ("The Last Seduction") plays his strong suit (a gifted cast) instead of his weakest (a derivative plot).
  20. Simon Birch
    Admirers of Irving's sprawling tome are sure to find Birch a botch.
  21. Without Limits
    Towne defines Pre not by the freak car accident that killed him but by his willful need to keep on pushing. It’s Pre’s defiant spirit that makes Without Limits something worth cheering.
  22. Your Friends & Neighbors
    LaBute achieves a bracing originality by observing human folly as a means to understand rather than condemn. Love or hate his films, LaBute is one of the most challenging filmmakers to emerge in years.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Slums of Beverly Hills
    Jenkins shows an innate gift for lacing laughs with the pain of experience -- Slums is based on her own life.
  24. How Stella Got Her Groove Back
    Whether you regard Stella's getting her groove back as a feminist battle cry or as a silly wish-fulfillment fantasy, the movie delivers guilt-free escapism about pretty people having wicked-hot fun in pretty places.
  25. Return to Paradise
    What if director Joseph Ruben didn't resort to B-movie suspense tricks? What if the fine cast wasn't saddled with a shamelessly contrived script by Wesley Strick and Bruce Robinson? Then Return to Paradise would be a better movie, that's what if.
  26. Ever After
    The radiant Barrymore energizes Cinderella with a tough core of intelligence and wit.
  27. The Negotiator
    This little-hyped thriller emerges as a dark-horse winner by reminding us of how pleasurably exciting a popcorn movie can be when it's populated by actors who are in it for more than an exorbitant fee.
  28. The Mask of Zorro
    Lavishly produced swashbuckler that should have been far more entertaining.
  29. There's Something About Mary
    Sensational, sicko fun -- you won't believe your eyes -- and just the thing to shake up the creeping conservatism that is draining the vulgar life out of pop culture.
  30. Armageddon
    How do I hate Armageddon? Let me count the ways.
