  1. The Legend of Bagger Vance
    The actors, especially the ever appealing Smith, do what they can to ground the movie in reality, but it stubbornly remains dawdling, remote and pretentious.
  2. Charlie's Angels
    The best you can say for this version of Charlie's Angels is that it retains a sort of chipper, eerie good nature as it wastes the studio's money and our time.

  3. George Washington
    It stands, soars on its own. It moves to a seductive rhythm and vision.
    • Time
  4. Lucky Numbers
    Occasionally funny but mostly desperate, small-minded and uncompelling.
  5. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    Few movies have spread their fibs or facts as clumsily as this one. There's not an emotionally plausible moment in the picture.
    • Time
  6. Bedazzled
    The skitcom format soon becomes tiresome.
    • Time
  7. The Yards
    So muted it disappears from your view even before it recedes from your memory.
  8. Pay It Forward
    As rigged as a casino slot machine, preying on people's hopes but paying off only for the house.
    • Time
  9. Dr T and the Women
    The film's blithe misogyny soon becomes wearying; it refuses to see women as more than the sum of their private parts.
  10. Billy Elliot
    The better class of moviegoers will love Billy Elliot. And I loved hating it.
    • Time
  11. Ratcatcher
    Writer-director Ramsay neither sentimentalizes nor garishes up the lost children in this observant and poetic drama.
  12. Girlfight
    Gives its fine actors room to breathe and behave--and in Michelle Rodriguez's case, glow.
    • Time
  13. Beautiful
    You don't quite believe that a smart woman would spend so much time on such a dumb mission.
  14. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    This moving tribute to a handful of candles flickering in the darkness has the power to summon us--one prays--to our better selves.
    • Time
  15. Almost Famous
    So Almost Famous is almost fabulous. Oh, all right. The movie's so clever and endearing, you can forget the almost.
    • Time
  16. The Way of the Gun
    What aims at being terrifying is just loud and goofy.
  17. Nurse Betty
    All in all, Nurse Betty is a wonderful movie, unpredictably alive to the fact that the American citizenry is a lot stranger than we like to admit.
  18. Cecil B. DeMented
    Cecil B. proves how a dose of smart bad taste can be jolly good fun.
    • Time
  19. An Affair of Love
    This wee, discreet little movie has a certain rueful intelligence about the ways we rather carelessly talk ourselves into love--and out of it as well.
  20. Saving Grace
    Grace is not as tightly wound as the best of its breed, but it is a genial way to pass the time.
  21. Space Cowboys
    It blends tension and emotion, computer wizardry and dramatic skill in a vigorous climax--and the most impressive, haunting final shot of the movie year.
  22. Hollow Man
    Too many special effects, many of them stomach churning; too much pornographically arranged death.
    • Time
  23. Girl on the Bridge
    A tangy frappe of a movie--preposterously comic, deliriously romantic, outrageously stylish in black-and-white.
  24. The Wind Will Carry Us
    The rhythm of rural life has rarely seemed so lucid and luminous.
    • Time
  25. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    Maybe this documentary is a bit too enthralled by her, but she emerges from it a game girl, a gay activist and a curiously sympathetic figure.
  26. The Five Senses
    Manages to make its point--that we are all impaired, short on that rarest quality, common sense--without being imprisoned by its complex format.
  27. The Wisdom of Crocodiles
    From its first shot, of a mangled car high up in the branches of a tree, this cool, handsome thriller proceeds with an elliptical elegance.
  28. Chuck & Buck
    Crude and inept.
    • Time
  29. The Kid
    It's a modest little fantasy. But it's also well made, unpretentious and refreshing.
  30. Shower
    Take this Shower and feel refreshed; it's a cool dip on a hot day.
