  1. The Art of War
    Ludicrous, impenetrable and headache-inducing.
  2. God's Army
    Eventually becomes preaching that is likely to tax the credibility of the unconverted.
  3. Orfeu
    Finds a sprawling, vivid middle ground somewhere between documentary and myth.
  4. Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God... Be Back by Five
    Never quite comes to dramatic or comic life.
  5. Waga jinsei saiaku no toki
    A mildly amusing Japanese appropriation of 1950's American detective movies.
  6. Fastpitch
    Intelligent, insightful, touching.
  7. Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    Seems a little too desperate to be liked.
  8. The Crew
    Some of it is, I'll admit, pretty funny.
  9. Bittersweet Motel
    Bland, unrevealing.
  10. Solomon & Gaenor
    Does an almost dismayingly good job of conveying its characters' grim, bare-bones existence and the stultifying sexual and religious taboos that the lovers flout.
  11. Love & Sex
    Slight but bright and charming.
  12. Bring It On
    It is Ms. Dunst who carries the movie and unifies its disparate elements. She's a terrific comic actress.
  13. Chalk
    Finally fails to escape the conventions of the Hollywood cinema it so proudly deplores.
  14. Place Vendôme
    In spite of its many flaws, the film never loses its focus on its fascinating central figure.
  15. The Cell
    Mr. Singh may have an artist's temperament, and he shows signs of being a director
  16. Steal This Movie
    Likable but muddled screen biography.
  17. The Original Kings of Comedy
    Their comedy gives audiences that have never seen anything like it a hilarious window on a new world.
  18. Sunset Strip
    A youth comedy so relentlessly sordid and depressing that it's likely to send its audience straight into the arms of the nearest psycho-pharmacologist.
  19. The Opportunists
    This is one of the best-photographed pictures of the year, but not ostentatiously so; the look is organic to the less-than-glamorous badlands of Sunnyside, Queens.
  20. Intern
    Ultimately as sycophantic as it is needling.
  21. Aimee & Jaguar
    There is surprisingly little emotional amplitude in the film.
  22. An Affair of Love
    Clearly, this is an affair to forget.
  23. Autumn in New York
    Flagrantly old-fashioned, triple-hankie tear-jerker.
  24. Bless the Child
    A supernatural soap opera.
  25. Cecil B. DeMented
    Consistently amusing and smart in its choice of targets, but it lacks the manic edge of some of Waters' earlier movies.
  26. The Replacements
    A desperate, broad comedy.
  27. Better Living
    Feels like an early rehearsal for a play where all the movement is being coordinated but the underlying emotional notes have yet to be set.
  28. The Tao of Steve
    Can't redeem the moves toward its predictable happy ending. But the movie has a protagonist who has a great time getting there.
  29. The Tic Code
    Like most movies that examine specific ailments, this gawky, occasionally touching film has the feel of a dramatized case history whose purpose is to educate as much as it is to tell a story.
  30. Saving Grace
    That they're English and elderly apparently makes their antics screamingly funny to people who would turn up their noses at similar humor in a film like "Scary Movie."
