  1. Titanic
    It's both the shortest 3 1/2 hours you'll ever spend at the movies and spectacle of such magnitude that it's hard to imagine feeling you didn't get your time and money's worth.

    Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
    Close to perfect. A magical blend of the right story, a great score, and the astonishing choreography of Michael Kidd, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is one of the big screen's most entertaining musicals.
  3. Down from the Mountain
    Musically it's often breathtaking.
  4. Metropolis
    The look is utterly faithful to Tezuka's aesthetic -- he loved classic Disney animation, especially "Bambi" (1942) -- but it's hard to empathize with the angst of a character who looks like a Super Mario Brother.

    The Motorcycle Diaries
    The film works best when it doesn't try so hard, when Salles simply allows his excellent actors and his beautiful images to work their magic.

    Little Children
    Once again, Field has crafted and grown-up movie that grabs you by the throat, drags you in and doesn't let you go until the very bitter end.

    Terminator 2: Judgment Day
    Trend-setting visuals compensate for a plot that lacks the imagination and edge of the 1984 original.

    The Boxer
    Unfortunately, the film never really catches fire, despite uniformly high-caliber performances; Day-Lewis, surely one the finest actors of his generation, is excellent.

    Dark Days
    Remarkable film.

    Kicking and Screaming
    First-time director Noah Baumbach seems to have learned everything he knows about the world from MTV, and his style suggests that he's taken a lot of notes at Whit Stillman and Hal Hartley pictures.

    Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser
    In its understanding of Monk and its intelligent handling of the Blackwood footage, STRAIGHT NO CHASER really does succeed in presenting Monk in a straight, potent, and undiluted fashion.

    Harry Is Here to Help
    Fans of the genre are in for a wickedly entertaining treat.
  13. Startup.com
    The story of the business is historically interesting, but the story of a friendship tested to the breaking point is timeless.

    Liberty Heights
    Levinson brings it all back home to Baltimore and delivers his funniest and most heartfelt film since "Diner."

    The Full Monty
    An enjoyable, ultimately inconsequential crowd-pleaser.
  16. Roger Dodger
    Campbell Scott's fiendishly mercurial performance as razor-tongued womanizer Roger is a revelation but it's only one of this nimble film's pleasures.
  17. The Kid Stays in the Picture
    The result is a snazzy kick -- it's never less than hugely entertaining -- that should in no way be mistaken for an unbiased account. But then, Evans is the quintessential Hollywood character.

    Kitchen Stories
    Hamer perfectly captures that post-WWII spirit of better living through science by positioning streamlined Swedish cars and hump-backed trailers against the timeless Norwegian landscape.

    The Deserted Station
    It never fails to come as a shock to find how profoundly moving it all is when these gentle films draw to their graceful conclusions.
  20. Beauty in Trouble
    A subtle, unsparing portrait of families whose fragile dynamics fray under pressure. Its strength lies in the complexity with which the characters are written.
  21. Les amitiés maléfiques
    This sly, subtle and very French psychological drama dissects the relationship between three insecure Sorbonne students and their deeply flawed idol.

    Born on the Fourth of July
    The critique of masculinity is far more thoughtful and compelling than the vague ruminations about war. Nonetheless Cruise's impassioned performance as Kovic is an impressive accomplishment.

    Funny Face
    This film exists only for its glamorous visuals, gorgeous Gershwin music, and the dancing choreographed by Astaire and Eugene Loring.

    Dial M for Murder
    Lower case Hitch, but diverting and sleek, with the climax early on. [review of original release]

    Catch Me If You Can
    The whole lighter-than-air lark whizzes by like a brisk, kandy-kolored dream of the 1960s, flavored by a Saul Bass inspired credit sequence; a slinky, Henry Mancini-esque score; and a stunning array of period sets and evocative locales.

    Peggy Sue Got Married
    The film features good acting from almost everyone, the one notable exception being the annoying Cage who adopts a grating constricted voice for the role.

    Silent Movie
    A series of heavily telegraphed, desperately played and incredibly unfunny sight gags, Silent Movie is truly a maddeningly insulting salute to the golden age of film comedy.

    Treeless Mountain
    The movie is thoroughly engrossing from the opening frame to the end credits, and it’s a beautiful viewing experience.
  29. A Prairie Home Companion
    Overall, the film falls into some comforting cocoon midway between affectionate spoof and adoring homage, much like Keillor's warmly nostalgic show.
  30. Baadasssss!
    The movie is at its best when it's most straightforward. Flights of fancy like the child angel perched on Melvin's ceiling or his conversations with the black-clad Sweetback, who appears to undermine his confidence at crucial junctures, seem forced and pointless.
