  1. 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.

  2. Pearl Harbor
    The net result of this mighty effort is perhaps predictable: near total inconsequence.
    • Time
  3. 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
  4. Moulin Rouge!
    The film dances; the heart sings.
    • Time
  5. 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.
  6. A Knight's Tale
    The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe--and not as much fun as either.
  7. One Night at McCool's
    The smartest, funniest, most cleverly structured comedy of the year.
    • Time
  8. Harry Is Here to Help
    This criminal comedy remains deliciously deadpan about the wages of psychopathy.
    • Time
  9. Blow
    Blow works for a scene or two, then stalls.
    • Time
  10. The Tailor of Panama
    The film finally collapses under the burden of implausibility.
  11. Amores Perros
    As fine--hard, soft, approachable--as any in movie history.
    • Time
  12. Enemy at the Gates
    Law, sexy and crafty as ever, and here with a flinty innocence, proves again he has the star-quality goods.
    • Time
  13. Memento
    The film takes this attempt to shatter narrative into little pieces about as far into incoherence as it can go; yet it is also full of odd, hypnotic menace.
    • Time
  14. Kissing Jessica Stein
    An edgy exploration of role playing and sexual choice in a climate where all options are acceptable.
    • Time
  15. The Caveman's Valentine
    Despite Jackson's typically bravura turn, this Valentine massacre marks a step backward for the gifted director of Eve's Bayou.
    • Time
  16. The Mexican
    Half comedy, half action piece, the movie runs sputteringly on the not inconsiderable charm of its stars. But basically it is languid, indeterminate and uninvolving.
  17. 3000 Miles to Graceland
    Courteney Cox is good as a sexy, hard-pressed single mom, but she alone can't redeem the prevailing stupidity.
    • Time
  18. The Widow of Saint-Pierre
    Binoche is especially subtle and radiant in another splendid drama from Leconte.
  19. Hannibal
    A banquet of creepy, gory or grotesque incidents is on display in Hannibal. but this superior sequel has romance in its dark heart.
    • Time
  20. In the Mood for Love
    This enthralling, enigmatic, romantic drama from Asia's most influential auteur (Chungking Express) is an essay in appetite and inhibition.
  21. Snatch.
    O.K., Ritchie mistakes flash for style. Perhaps that's the price you pay for storytelling exuberance. If he keeps making films as down and witty as Snatch, we may learn to forgive him.
    • Time
  22. Traffic
    Finally, though, Traffic, for all its earnestness, does not work. It leaves one feeling restless and dissatisfied.
  23. Malèna
    Things finally work out all right--except for audiences, who will find this thin movie bereft of the more richly textured sentiments of Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso."
  24. Thirteen Days
    The players don't particularly look like their historical models, but they make us feel their life-threatening pain and puzzlement.
  25. All the Pretty Horses
    A perfectly coherent, handsomely rendered couple of hours, animated in particular by Damon's good performance -- shrewd, innocent, angry, wistful and, above all, likable.
  26. Cast Away
    The 80 minutes it spends on the atoll alone with Hanks make for engrossing storytelling. The film is less sure-footed back in civilization.
  27. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    Toss in enough gorgeous bluegrass music to make the movie's CD a must-have, and you have prime, picaresque entertainment.
  28. The Family Man
    A film that's fun to argue with.
  29. Finding Forrester
    Something more surprising might have been made of this odd couple, but Van Sant, emptily employing the realist manner of his early films, is goodwill hunting in all the wrong places.
  30. The Gift
    She (Blanchett) seems the only guardian of sanity in this good-old-boy Bellevue.
