  1. 28 Days Later...
    Boyle's ingenuity with the camera gives this fraught journey plenty of menace and pizazz.
  2. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
    After “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Hulk,” there's something refreshing about this movie's complete lack of intellectual pretense.
  3. Hulk
    Lee must have thought he could work a similar magic on this clunking, clanking machine. But despite a few witty wipes and split-screen tricks, he fails. Hulk is no better than hulking.
  4. Together
    Isn't an audience that was nurtured on the doomsday screeds of art-house cinema entitled to vacation in the warmth of a superior film about a boy with almost too many people to love?
  5. Finding Nemo
    Nemo, with its ravishing underwater fantasia, manages to trump the design glamour of earlier Pixar films.
  6. The Matrix Reloaded
    You are never exactly bored by The Matrix Reloaded. But there is something alienating about it, maybe because it fails to fulfill its possibly loony intellectual aspirations.
  7. Down with Love
    The new film is conflicted about its subject -- it both derides and adores what it means to parody -- and it's miscast at the top. Still, the Eve Ahlert -- Dennis Drake script has a gentle heart to humanize its sharp sitcom wit.
  8. Man on the Train
    An elegantly polished little film.
  9. The Dancer Upstairs
    Patient and plodding -- but as realized by John Malkovich, in his directorial debut, utterly absorbing.
  10. X2: X-Men United
    Wants to contain multitudes -- high ideals and high tech, the poignant and the silly. Doing so, it becomes a lexicon of modern filmmaking. It could be its own creature: Super-Generico. That's not the worst thing for a movie to be, but it's not quite Marvel-ous either.
  11. Marooned in Iraq
    You'll have to seek it out in its limited release, but no current movie is more worth the effort.
  12. Winged Migration
    Intellectually austere but technologically and aesthetically riveting documentary.
  13. A Mighty Wind
    The sweetest and funniest of Guest's true-life fake-umentaries.
  14. Anger Management
    It should make audiences happy. But then so did most of his earlier movies, and they were lame, gnat-brained pieces of demagogic doo-doo!
  15. The Man Without a Past
    Droll, reticent, flawlessly filmed fable of generosity.
  16. Stevie
    Can one recommend this unblinking film to the average moviegoer, out for a good time? Only in this way: if James and his crew can spend years with these blighted souls, surely you can spend two hours with them, exploring compassion's outer limits.
  17. Dreamcatcher
    Kasdan has been a serious filmmaker, so he gives the goofiness a smart look and some pertinent metaphors about Americans wrongfully detained. But the aim is no higher than the impulse of old schlockmeisters like Roger Corman and Ed Wood: to get the audience to scream.
  18. Willard
    Glover, as usual, is phenomenal.
  19. All the Real Girls
    Green shoots his groping lovers in the art-film style -- long takes, static frame -- but his tone isn't at all minimalist; it's achingly, breathtakingly romantic, like the old Hollywood love stories his kids have never seen.
  20. He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not
    Colombani has created uncommonly arresting entertainment.
  21. Lost in La Mancha
    It will fascinate and possibly even delight cinephiles. Who does not enjoy gawking at accidents, particularly those in which there are no fatalities and the sad story unfolds in almost slow-motion clarity?
  22. Divine Intervention
    Elia Suleiman's Divine Intervention is a cure for nagging ethnic generalities. This Palestinian sort-of-comedy has a sly wit that amuses and disturbs in equal, salubrious measure.
  23. City of God
    The film is seductive, disturbing, enthralling -- a trip to hell that gives the passengers a great ride.
  24. Chicago
    Has so much razzle-dazzle that viewers may end up both raised and dazed. It's remorselessly inventive, trying anything fast and sassy to keep you watching. In other words, it's the most honest display of showpeople's need to be noticed this side of a Madonna concert.
  25. The Pianist
    A raw, unblinking film. It teaches that in dire circumstances our only obligation is to our own survival; all else -- culture, ideology, even love -- is a dispensable luxury.
  26. Nicholas Nickleby
    Now and then McGrath's film feels a bit rushed and breathless, but mostly you sink gratefully into its handsomely staged plenitude.
  27. The Hours
    A grim and uninvolving film, for which Philip Glass unwittingly provides the perfect score -- tuneless, oppressive, droning, painfully self-important.
  28. Catch Me If You Can
    Results in about the nicest movie you could ask for at the holidays: a gently funny, sweetly adventurous film that makes you feel genuinely good, that is to say, entirely unconned by false sentiment or sharp, overmanipulative Hollywood practices.
  29. Gangs of New York
    This daring, perhaps confusing declaration of irrelevance suggests that the epic is a form a director like Scorsese must subvert even as he invokes it. But it doesn't erase the sordid splendor of Scorsese's congested, conflicted, entrancing achievement.
  30. 25th Hour
    Pretty lethargic stuff. Monty, a convicted drug dealer on his last day before he is to report to prison, does more moping than moving.
