  1. Riding in Cars with Boys
    It is somewhat repetitive, but it is also wonderfully acted, especially by Barrymore.
  2. Bandits
    Works as a sweetly loony ensemble piece, a sort of cracked romance that's typical of director Barry Levinson at his shrewd but unpretentious best.

  3. Mulholland Dr.
    Viewers will feel as though they've just finished a great meal but aren't sure what they've been served. Behind them, the chef smiles wickedly.
  4. Training Day
    As long as Training Day stays tightly focused on the struggle between the two cops, the movie is first rate.

  5. Serendipity
    Your affection for Serendipity may depend on how fascinated you are by a movie that is apparently going after the all-time record for delayed consummation.

  6. Liam
    Unsparing but never unsympathetic, emerges as one of the year's best, most brutally honest movies.
  7. Our Lady of the Assassins
    Full of sacrilegious rant, absurdist affectlessness and pop social criticism, this film plays like an old B movie: narratively improvisational, delusionally pretentious, weirdly watchable.
  8. Rock Star
    This is a good-natured retro romp that is truer to Golden Age movies than to golden oldies songs.
  9. O
    On your already groaning Shakespeare for Teens video shelf, stack this one above "10 Things I Hate About You" (a.k.a. "The Taming of the Shrew") and quite a bit below "Romeo + Juliet."
  10. Together
    We are free to adore a sad, funny, always good-natured film that eccentrically, tolerantly explores that moment when revolutionary ardor commingled with bourgeois stolidity to form our present weirdly ambiguous culture.
  11. Captain Corelli's Mandolin
    Corelli is a coffee-table movie: one leafs through the gorgeous vistas and nods through the narrative.
    • Time
  12. Rat Race
    It's a fine madness, full of jaunty desperation, survivable disasters and the kind of ferocious concentration on a really stupid idea that once propelled Wile E. Coyote.
    • Time
  13. The Deep End
    Elegantly made, romantically doomy, curiously affecting movie.
  14. Rush Hour 2
    Until a vigorous climax, the action scenes have little punch.
  15. Apocalypse Now Redux
    Apocalypse Now is about an American, perhaps a human madness. It searingly depicts, and finally embodies, the spiritual wounds men inflict on themselves and one another in the name of war. To gain the hearts and minds of a distant people, we lose our own souls.
  16. Planet of the Apes
    Mostly, the new film reminds us that swell production design is no substitute for a fresh, simple and startling idea.
    • Time
  17. Ghost World
    In this arid landscape, the edifice of Ghost World, with all its acute insolence, stands out like the Taj Mahal.
    • Time
  18. A.I. Artificial Intelligence
    A.I. will beguile some viewers, perplex others. Its vision is too capacious, its narrative route too extended, the shift in tone (from suburban domestic to rural nightmare to urban archaeology) too ornery to make the film a flat-out wowser of the E.T. stripe.
  19. Divided We Fall
    The result is a lovely movie, one that allows its characters unexpected spurts of growth and regression, darkness and grace.
    • Time
  20. The Anniversary Party
    Everyone in the cast has his or her solo, and all rise brilliantly to their occasions, notably Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Beals, Mina Badie and a divinely neurotic Jane Adams.
    • Time
  21. Pearl Harbor
    The net result of this mighty effort is perhaps predictable: near total inconsequence.
    • Time
  22. Shrek
    It is the hilarious business of Shrek, a delightful new animated feature based on the William Steig book, to subvert all the well-worn expectations of its genre.
    • Time
  23. Moulin Rouge!
    The film dances; the heart sings.
    • Time
  24. Startup.com
    This gripping documentary doesn't exactly say what went wrong, but the pain and puzzlement of its principals as things inexorably fall apart is palpable and saddening.
  25. A Knight's Tale
    The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe--and not as much fun as either.
  26. One Night at McCool's
    The smartest, funniest, most cleverly structured comedy of the year.
    • Time
  27. Harry Is Here to Help
    This criminal comedy remains deliciously deadpan about the wages of psychopathy.
    • Time
  28. Blow
    Blow works for a scene or two, then stalls.
    • Time
  29. The Tailor of Panama
    The film finally collapses under the burden of implausibility.
  30. Amores Perros
    As fine--hard, soft, approachable--as any in movie history.
