  1. Gun Shy
    A mildly amusing but forgettable and way-too-scatological black farce.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Scream 3
    Scream 3 also has wit and intelligence, but at their core the Scream movies are still slasher films and this one is no exception.
  3. The Big Tease
    An innocuous, hit-and-miss affair.
  4. The Cup
    Never offers much enlightenment through its message.
  5. Santitos
    It's remarkably bright, funny and sweet for a film that wades through so much sleaze, though it can't escape all of the weirdness it worms through.
  6. Isn't She Great
    Though it does present the facts of Susann's life, it skims them so quickly and with such glorious glee that we never get a sense of who this woman really was.
  7. Eye of the Beholder
    A perfect example of form without content.
  8. My Dog Skip
    It works because it never tries to be more than the very personal memory piece it is.
  9. Next Friday
    After its midway mark, just lumbers until it fizzles out.
  10. Fantasia 2000
    Lacks the cohesive flow of "Fantasia" and suffers from an attention deficit that seems to mark and flaw our current fast-paced technological era.
  11. The Hurricane
    Jewison handles this rich tapestry of non-linear scenes with the skill of the old pro he is, and carefully modulates the drama to create the maximum emotional impact.
  12. The Third Miracle
    A foreign film feel despite its strong American cast.
  13. Play It to the Bone
    In this movie, he (Shelton) falls so hard he becomes, for the first time in his career, genuinely offensive.
  14. Titus
    Gorgeous in its gore and, for all its destruction, despair and death, concludes on an optimistic and vibrantly alive note.
  15. Galaxy Quest
    Instead of making fun of the series' fans and their lifestyle, Galaxy Quest targets actors and how an onscreen image can forever lock a performer in a particular role. And that proves to be its saving grace.
  16. The Talented Mr. Ripley
    It demands people pay attention and look inward to find the private compass that will navigate us through murky sensibilities that are as capable of seducing us as they are Tom Ripley.
  17. Any Given Sunday
    As always with Stone, the film has some gritty performances and a certain likable audacity.
  18. Angela's Ashes
    It's the first film I know of in which we get to see all five of the top-billed actors vomit
  19. Man on the Moon
    It offers no special insights into its subject, it doesn't connect on any higher level, and it left me feeling vaguely dissatisfied and let down.
  20. Snow Falling on Cedars
    As good as it is in many ways, the film is not as emotionally gripping as it should be, and comes off as a rather predictable liberal statement.
  21. Girl, Interrupted
    For all its somber heaviness and reverential gravity, it never quite pulls all the elements and themes together.
  22. Topsy-Turvy
    At 160 minutes, it's a bit long and uneventful for anyone who is not at least a moderate fan of the musicals.
  23. Anna and the King
    It pales in comparison to its two classic predecessors, and also just generally feels like one too many trips to the well.
  24. Onegin
    (Fiennes's) Onegin is clueless to anything other than the sensual world, and is finally more repellent than sympathetic.
  25. Stuart Little
    Enormously cute, but it doesn't allow us to ever completely suspend our disbelief.
  26. Simpatico
    As has been the case with most of Shepard's plays, transfer to the movies spells doom.
  27. Bicentennial Man
    Finally becomes a somber, sentimental and rather profound romantic fantasy that is more true to the spirit of the Golden Age of science-fiction writing than possibly any other movie of the '90s.
  28. Jing Ke ci Qin Wang
    Quite long and violent enough to have made several critics squirm in their seats during a recent press screening.
  29. Magnolia
    Like Spielberg, even if the content is questionable or the performance is missing, his scenes always manage to be visually thrilling.
  30. The War Zone
    Sticks in the mind and simply won't go away.
