  1. 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
  2. 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.

  3. Kissing Jessica Stein
    An edgy exploration of role playing and sexual choice in a climate where all options are acceptable.
    • Time
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. The Widow of Saint-Pierre
    Binoche is especially subtle and radiant in another splendid drama from Leconte.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

  11. Traffic
    Finally, though, Traffic, for all its earnestness, does not work. It leaves one feeling restless and dissatisfied.
  12. 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."
  13. Thirteen Days
    The players don't particularly look like their historical models, but they make us feel their life-threatening pain and puzzlement.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. The Family Man
    A film that's fun to argue with.
  18. 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.
  19. The Gift
    She (Blanchett) seems the only guardian of sanity in this good-old-boy Bellevue.
  20. What Women Want
    It just runs on and on -- like a slightly stupid story you wish you hadn't overheard in a singles bar.
  21. Pollock
    The result is a harrowing film, impossible to "like" in any conventional way, hypnotically impossible to turn away from.
  22. The Emperor's New Groove
    Doesn't aim too high or strain too hard; it is at ease inhabiting its pretty, miniature realm.
  23. Chocolat
    Made with a sort of tasteful vulgarity, this movie never disappoints the slack-minded audience's anticipation of the humanistically healing banality, the life-crushing behavioral cliché.
  24. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    Crouching Tiger is contemplative, and it kicks ass. Or put it this way: it's a powerful film and a terrific movie.
    • Time
  25. Quills
    This is soft-gore porn, obvious in its strategies, witless in the play of its ideas, absurdist only in its pretense to seriousness.
  26. You Can Count on Me
    Maybe these lives are, objectively speaking, inconsequential. But they have a resonance that big, sappy "relationship" pictures ought to envy.
  27. Men of Honor
    There's something refreshing about its utterly unembarrassed embrace of the familiar. The director, George Tillman Jr., either doesn't notice or doesn't give a hoot about the way Scott Marshall Smith's script piles up cliches.
  28. Suzhou River
    Whatever city this one is showing in...move there.
  29. The Legend of Bagger Vance
    The actors, especially the ever appealing Smith, do what they can to ground the movie in reality, but it stubbornly remains dawdling, remote and pretentious.
  30. Charlie's Angels
    The best you can say for this version of Charlie's Angels is that it retains a sort of chipper, eerie good nature as it wastes the studio's money and our time.
