  1. Man on the Moon
    Just gives us Andy, the pop postmodernist, and permits us to make what we will of him, which is a fascinating activity.
  2. Snow Falling on Cedars
    Essentially a liberal soap opera.
  3. Anna and the King
    Cutting through the epic gesturings of Andy Tennant's direction, he (Yun-Fat Chow) provides reason enough to return one last time to this otherwise weary romance

  4. Onegin
    Handsome, well-acted, richly textured adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's novel.
  5. Stuart Little
    The blend of digital animation and live action is first rate.
  6. Simpatico
    Curiously, if fitfully, intriguing.
  7. Bicentennial Man
    The tone is cloying, the running time bloated.
    • Time
  8. Magnolia
    A hard-striving, convoluted movie, which never quite becomes the smoothly reciprocating engine Anderson ...would like it to be.
  9. The Cider House Rules
    A small epic with subtle strengths.
  10. The Green Mile
    At the core, though, one finds a slacky, sappy film. The human mystery that breathed so easily in "Shawshank" is often forced here.

  11. Agnes Browne
    There are a reserve and a realism in Huston's work that make her very modest film more affecting than you might expect.
  12. Sweet and Lowdown
    Samantha Morton, as Emmet's "mute orphan half-wit" of a girlfriend, is the sweet revelation. Rarely has a performer mined such complex and potent emotion from such simple materials: a smile, a shrug, an attentive winsomeness.
  13. Tumbleweeds
    We have this movie--full of acceptant, sidelong glances at human quirkiness--to delight us.
  14. Ride with the Devil
    For all the carnage, Lee's tone is contemplative.
  15. Toy Story 2
    Pixar's improved computer animation is up to all the demands of this excellent adventure.
  16. Sleepy Hollow
    Sleepy Hollow may be late for Halloween, but this trick is a real treat.
  17. All About My Mother
    The most mature and satisfying work in a glittering, consistently surprising career.
    • Time
  18. Mansfield Park
    Well acted, and it achieves a strong, smart, engaging life of its own.
  19. Liberty Heights
    Seems to encompass all the humor, sadness and weirdness of ordinary life in an utterly winning, morally acute way.
  20. 42: Forty Two Up
    Apted...has the storytelling skills to weave a powerful and poignant snapshot of some decent folks who have become, collectively, Britain's first family.
  21. Dogma
    A tortured testament from a true believer.
    • Time
  22. Felicia's Journey
    A movie this implausible shouldn't be this dull.
  23. Anywhere But Here
    What it doesn't have is a central figure you can give a hoot about.
    • Time
  24. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    A lively, nutty film, one full of clumsy, clanging battles filmed by the gifted, eccentric Besson with bloody brio.
  25. Rosetta
    The purity of Dequenne's performance inspires awe.
  26. The Bone Collector
    It's kind of fun--if you have the stomach for its more grisly passages.
  27. The Insider
    The viewer almost has to be a journalist--or a good editor--to sniff out the meat under all the fat.
  28. Mein liebster Feind - Klaus Kinski
    This documentary, a gallivanting time trip through a bolder film era, is Herzog's final collaboration with Kinski: an act of love and exorcism.
  29. Music of the Heart
    What saves this movie from hopeless sentimentality is Meryl Streep's subtle performance.
    • Time
  30. Being John Malkovich
    Weird, beguiling premise.
