  1. The Cider House Rules
    Many will find the subject matter disturbing, but it's clearly one of the holiday season's richest and most daring movie entries.
  2. Cradle Will Rock
    It's an interesting and likably ambitious movie with an ensemble of mostly engaging character vignettes, but, sadly, it misses its mark.
  3. Diamonds
    A movie in which almost nothing works.
  4. The Green Mile
    A richly textured thriller.
  5. Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
    An insufferably insipid comedy with a cruel subtext.
  6. Miss Julie
    As dreary an hour-and-a-half as you could ever want to spend at the movies.
  7. Stir of Echoes
    (Bacon's) most believable, heart-wrenching and charismatic lead performance in many years.
  8. Agnes Browne
    Anges has nothing but affection for its characters and fondness for their quirkiness.
  9. The End of the Affair
    An engaging but essentially routine tragic romance.
  10. A Map of the World
    What makes this film truly chilling is the fact first-time feature filmmaker Scott Elliott and his writers somehow make every step of this descent harrowingly believable.
  11. Holy Smoke
    It's a funny, insightful film whose feminist undertones don't overwhelm the story and characters.
  12. Sweet and Lowdown
    A real showcase for Penn, who seems to positively delight in playing a slimy, hateful character that most stars would not go near.
  13. Tumbleweeds
    An indie film that was lavishly praised and won the Filmmakers Trophy at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, rolls along in the well-rutted, dusty tire tracks of other mother-and-daughter road trip
  14. Ride with the Devil
    Doesn't offer much texture or depth of character.
  15. End of Days
    A credible action spectacular.
  16. Toy Story 2
    It not only pushes the computer-generated film envelope to the very edge, it's every bit as charming, funny and exciting as the original. In fact, I enjoyed it quite a bit more.
  17. Flawless
    It finally just rings false as a human drama.
  18. The World Is Not Enough
    Despite a few places where the air of déjà vu is a bit too thick, it's a class act, with a textured script, one of the series' more stunning title sequences.
  19. Sleepy Hollow
    It all comes together to be a remarkably dull movie.
  20. All About My Mother
    As dark as a Greek tragedy yet it has a vibrance and joie de vivre that can't be contained by grief.
  21. Mansfield Park
    Daring, gorgeous.
  22. Liberty Heights
    As good as the film is in so many ways, it also altogether rings a bit false and contrived.
  23. 42: Forty Two Up
    Difficult to weigh and rate precisely because it deals with real life and real people.
  24. Dogma
    Smith has badly overextended his modest filmmaking gifts.
  25. Felicia's Journey
    Has difficulty reaching a resolution. In the final half-hour, the film becomes almost hysterically out of sync with its prior quiet reserve.
  26. Anywhere But Here
    Susan Sarandon has never been more outrageously appealing. Natalie Portman is simply exquisite.
  27. Where's Marlowe?
    Attempts to do for "The Big Sleep"-type detective movie and film-noir genre what "Blair Witch" did for horror films.
  28. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    The horror and spectacle of medieval battle has never been re-created on film before with such ghastly beauty.
  29. Light It Up
    It has moments of effectiveness, some of the performances -- especially Whitaker and Robert Ri'chard -- are moving.
  30. The Bachelor
    An innocuous waste-of-time.
