  1. George Washington
    It stands, soars on its own. It moves to a seductive rhythm and vision.

  2. Lucky Numbers
    Occasionally funny but mostly desperate, small-minded and uncompelling.
  3. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    Few movies have spread their fibs or facts as clumsily as this one. There's not an emotionally plausible moment in the picture.
    • Time
  4. Bedazzled
    The skitcom format soon becomes tiresome.
    • Time
  5. The Yards
    So muted it disappears from your view even before it recedes from your memory.
  6. Pay It Forward
    As rigged as a casino slot machine, preying on people's hopes but paying off only for the house.
    • Time
  7. Dr T and the Women
    The film's blithe misogyny soon becomes wearying; it refuses to see women as more than the sum of their private parts.
  8. Billy Elliot
    The better class of moviegoers will love Billy Elliot. And I loved hating it.
    • Time
  9. Ratcatcher
    Writer-director Ramsay neither sentimentalizes nor garishes up the lost children in this observant and poetic drama.
  10. Girlfight
    Gives its fine actors room to breathe and behave--and in Michelle Rodriguez's case, glow.
    • Time
  11. Beautiful
    You don't quite believe that a smart woman would spend so much time on such a dumb mission.
  12. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    This moving tribute to a handful of candles flickering in the darkness has the power to summon us--one prays--to our better selves.
    • Time
  13. Almost Famous
    So Almost Famous is almost fabulous. Oh, all right. The movie's so clever and endearing, you can forget the almost.
    • Time
  14. The Way of the Gun
    What aims at being terrifying is just loud and goofy.
  15. Nurse Betty
    All in all, Nurse Betty is a wonderful movie, unpredictably alive to the fact that the American citizenry is a lot stranger than we like to admit.
  16. Cecil B. DeMented
    Cecil B. proves how a dose of smart bad taste can be jolly good fun.
    • Time
  17. An Affair of Love
    This wee, discreet little movie has a certain rueful intelligence about the ways we rather carelessly talk ourselves into love--and out of it as well.
  18. Saving Grace
    Grace is not as tightly wound as the best of its breed, but it is a genial way to pass the time.
  19. Space Cowboys
    It blends tension and emotion, computer wizardry and dramatic skill in a vigorous climax--and the most impressive, haunting final shot of the movie year.
  20. Hollow Man
    Too many special effects, many of them stomach churning; too much pornographically arranged death.
    • Time
  21. Girl on the Bridge
    A tangy frappe of a movie--preposterously comic, deliriously romantic, outrageously stylish in black-and-white.
  22. The Wind Will Carry Us
    The rhythm of rural life has rarely seemed so lucid and luminous.
    • Time
  23. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    Maybe this documentary is a bit too enthralled by her, but she emerges from it a game girl, a gay activist and a curiously sympathetic figure.
  24. The Five Senses
    Manages to make its point--that we are all impaired, short on that rarest quality, common sense--without being imprisoned by its complex format.
  25. The Wisdom of Crocodiles
    From its first shot, of a mangled car high up in the branches of a tree, this cool, handsome thriller proceeds with an elliptical elegance.
  26. Chuck & Buck
    Crude and inept.
    • Time
  27. The Kid
    It's a modest little fantasy. But it's also well made, unpretentious and refreshing.
  28. Shower
    Take this Shower and feel refreshed; it's a cool dip on a hot day.
  29. The Perfect Storm
    What's true about The Perfect Storm is true of many effects epics: it's not a bad movie, except for the people.
  30. The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
    It's great to have the Moose back, but it would be greater still to see him in a humorous context fully worth of him.
