  1. What Planet Are You From?
    At once smug and lazy, qualities fatal to comedy.
  2. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    Niftily quirky.
    • Time
  3. Drowning Mona
    There's a definite limit to the number of moron jokes we can absorb in 100 minutes, and their movie exceeds it.
    • Time
  4. Wonder Boys
    The pulse of Curtis Hanson's direction is lethargic; the comic bits are so slack and deadpan you could mistake the film for an earnest drama--an Afterschool Special for troubled kids and their pooped parents.
  5. Judy Berlin
    The film is one-note; misery is the only game in town.
  6. Beautiful People
    The best movie of this very young millennium.
    • Time
  7. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    Sharing its subject's virtues, it is a lovely addition to the annals of the Greatest Generation.
  8. The Whole Nine Yards
    You're entitled to ask for more than that in a comedy, but these days you're often obliged to settle for a lot less.
  9. Not One Less
    To Western eyes, this meandering parable registers as a perplexity and a disappointment.
  10. Boiler Room
    Curiously intense, alertly principled, refreshingly uncynical movie.
    • Time
  11. Scream 3
    Not so good is the absence of hip cross-references to the classic horror tropes.
  12. Isn't She Great
    One of the worst messes in years.
  13. Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her
    If the stories sometimes use Creative Writing 101 devices (like a quasi-prophetic homeless woman), the total effect is as spare and haunting as the film's arid, beautifully shot setting.
  14. The Hurricane
    In Washington's finely shaded performance he's a low-pressure system, illuminated by distant flashes of lightning.
    • Time
  15. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
    The fascinating film equivalent of a humane execution.
  16. Play It to the Bone
    Never achieves more than feckless amiability.
  17. Titus
    Vivid, relevant and of elevating scariness.
  18. Galaxy Quest
    In this space epic, no one will hear you laugh.
  19. Any Given Sunday
    Ends up less than the sum of its many, often interesting parts.
    • Time
  20. Man on the Moon
    Just gives us Andy, the pop postmodernist, and permits us to make what we will of him, which is a fascinating activity.
  21. Snow Falling on Cedars
    Essentially a liberal soap opera.
  22. Anna and the King
    Cutting through the epic gesturings of Andy Tennant's direction, he (Yun-Fat Chow) provides reason enough to return one last time to this otherwise weary romance
    • Time
  23. Onegin
    Handsome, well-acted, richly textured adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's novel.
  24. Stuart Little
    The blend of digital animation and live action is first rate.
  25. Simpatico
    Curiously, if fitfully, intriguing.
  26. Bicentennial Man
    The tone is cloying, the running time bloated.
    • Time
  27. Magnolia
    A hard-striving, convoluted movie, which never quite becomes the smoothly reciprocating engine Anderson ...would like it to be.
  28. The Cider House Rules
    A small epic with subtle strengths.
  29. The Green Mile
    At the core, though, one finds a slacky, sappy film. The human mystery that breathed so easily in "Shawshank" is often forced here.
    • Time
  30. Agnes Browne
    There are a reserve and a realism in Huston's work that make her very modest film more affecting than you might expect.
