  1. Sweet and Lowdown
    Samantha Morton, as Emmet's "mute orphan half-wit" of a girlfriend, is the sweet revelation. Rarely has a performer mined such complex and potent emotion from such simple materials: a smile, a shrug, an attentive winsomeness.
  2. Tumbleweeds
    We have this movie--full of acceptant, sidelong glances at human quirkiness--to delight us.
  3. Ride with the Devil
    For all the carnage, Lee's tone is contemplative.
  4. Toy Story 2
    Pixar's improved computer animation is up to all the demands of this excellent adventure.
  5. Sleepy Hollow
    Sleepy Hollow may be late for Halloween, but this trick is a real treat.
  6. All About My Mother
    The most mature and satisfying work in a glittering, consistently surprising career.

  7. Mansfield Park
    Well acted, and it achieves a strong, smart, engaging life of its own.
  8. Liberty Heights
    Seems to encompass all the humor, sadness and weirdness of ordinary life in an utterly winning, morally acute way.
  9. 42: Forty Two Up
    Apted...has the storytelling skills to weave a powerful and poignant snapshot of some decent folks who have become, collectively, Britain's first family.
  10. Dogma
    A tortured testament from a true believer.
    • Time
  11. Felicia's Journey
    A movie this implausible shouldn't be this dull.
  12. Anywhere But Here
    What it doesn't have is a central figure you can give a hoot about.
    • Time
  13. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    A lively, nutty film, one full of clumsy, clanging battles filmed by the gifted, eccentric Besson with bloody brio.
  14. Rosetta
    The purity of Dequenne's performance inspires awe.
  15. The Bone Collector
    It's kind of fun--if you have the stomach for its more grisly passages.
  16. The Insider
    The viewer almost has to be a journalist--or a good editor--to sniff out the meat under all the fat.
  17. Mein liebster Feind - Klaus Kinski
    This documentary, a gallivanting time trip through a bolder film era, is Herzog's final collaboration with Kinski: an act of love and exorcism.
  18. Music of the Heart
    What saves this movie from hopeless sentimentality is Meryl Streep's subtle performance.
    • Time
  19. Being John Malkovich
    Weird, beguiling premise.
  20. The Best Man
    This agitated comedy could be called "The Big Chillin'" if it had a smidge of the 1983 film's wit and charm.
  21. Bringing Out the Dead
    Like its title -- blunt, thruthful, uncompromising. It is hard on an audience, even harrowing. But that's exactly what Martin Scorsese was put on earth to do.
    • Time
  22. The Story of Us
    Mostly the movie is like the marriage: good casting, golden promise, yet somehow a grating ordeal.
    • Time
  23. The Straight Story
    Alvin's tragic memories give perspective to the triumph of his trek, even as Farnsworth's weathered brilliance makes this movie a G as in gem.
  24. Fight Club
    Both actors are excellent--but there's something conventionally gimmicky about the way it plays its reality/unreality game.
    • Time
    • 14 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Omega Code
    Given its budget, the quality of its writing, acting and production is remarkably high--about miniseries level.
  26. Random Hearts
    A grim and draggy romance in which even the clothes and sets are dismal.
  27. The Limey
    Soderbergh slices, dices and Cuisinarts the script into flashbacks, scene shifts, stop motion and other distracting foolery.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Boys Don't Cry
    The movie lets down the material. It's to cool: all attitude, no sizzle.
  29. Happy, Texas
    An easy charm, a cleverly unforced sense of humor and a benignity toward all its genially oddball characters. If moviegoers skip this one, they'll be missing a real treat.
    • Time
  30. Three Kings
    A brilliant exercise in popular but palpable surrealism.
