  1. Gladiator
    Quite a good movie--a big, fat, rousing, intelligent, daring, retro, many-adjective-requiring entertainment.

  2. Timecode
    This spectacle of strenuous improvising is more stunt than true experiment.
  3. U-571
    Flouting all rules of the sea but honoring every war-epic cliche about guts under pressure.
  4. American Psycho
    But the carnage, like the sex scenes, is shot so pristinely that it becomes a nouvelle-cuisine feast; this is a splatter film Martha Stewart could love.
    • Time
  5. East Is East
    The actor (Puri) and the film make something fine, winning and memorable.
    • Time
  6. Est - Ouest
    This complex, heartbreaking film recounts the brutal struggle of one couple to survive.
  7. Joe Gould's Secret
    There's a great story here, but Tucci's literate, civilized, wistful movie lacks savage impulse and refuses to show how mutual exploitation led to minor tragedy.
  8. The Color of Paradise
    This miniature epic is a film that, like its young hero, will enrich those who peer into its poignant heart.
    • Time
  9. Romeo Must Die
    Doesn't touch (Li's Hong Kong movies). But it is trying something clever.
  10. Erin Brockovich
    Erin Brockovich is slick, grating and false. We bet it makes a bundle.
    • Time
  11. Mission to Mars
    This isn't "2001," by a long shot, but for 2000, it'll do nicely.
  12. What Planet Are You From?
    At once smug and lazy, qualities fatal to comedy.
  13. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    Niftily quirky.
    • Time
  14. Drowning Mona
    There's a definite limit to the number of moron jokes we can absorb in 100 minutes, and their movie exceeds it.
    • Time
  15. Wonder Boys
    The pulse of Curtis Hanson's direction is lethargic; the comic bits are so slack and deadpan you could mistake the film for an earnest drama--an Afterschool Special for troubled kids and their pooped parents.
  16. Judy Berlin
    The film is one-note; misery is the only game in town.
  17. Beautiful People
    The best movie of this very young millennium.
    • Time
  18. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    Sharing its subject's virtues, it is a lovely addition to the annals of the Greatest Generation.
  19. The Whole Nine Yards
    You're entitled to ask for more than that in a comedy, but these days you're often obliged to settle for a lot less.
  20. Not One Less
    To Western eyes, this meandering parable registers as a perplexity and a disappointment.
  21. Boiler Room
    Curiously intense, alertly principled, refreshingly uncynical movie.
    • Time
  22. Scream 3
    Not so good is the absence of hip cross-references to the classic horror tropes.
  23. Isn't She Great
    One of the worst messes in years.
  24. Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her
    If the stories sometimes use Creative Writing 101 devices (like a quasi-prophetic homeless woman), the total effect is as spare and haunting as the film's arid, beautifully shot setting.
  25. The Hurricane
    In Washington's finely shaded performance he's a low-pressure system, illuminated by distant flashes of lightning.
    • Time
  26. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
    The fascinating film equivalent of a humane execution.
  27. Play It to the Bone
    Never achieves more than feckless amiability.
  28. Titus
    Vivid, relevant and of elevating scariness.
  29. Galaxy Quest
    In this space epic, no one will hear you laugh.
  30. Any Given Sunday
    Ends up less than the sum of its many, often interesting parts.
