    Chunhyangdyun
    From the ravishing landscape photography to the exquisite costume design, the entire film is a stunning visual experience; rarely since Hollywood's golden age has the genre been so well served.
  2. Shadow of the Vampire
    A creepy, clever, film buff's delight of a fantasy.
  3. Traffic
    Though meticulously researched, well acted and filled with striking moments, the movie ultimately feels oddly disconnected.
  4. Malèna
    It differs from American films about the period in its evocation of day-to-day passion. The power of beauty is often dealt with in films, but not so often its powerful curse.
  5. Thirteen Days
    Thoroughly gripping.
  6. All the Pretty Horses
    The movie's greatest liability is the familiarity of the material, much parodied since the glory days of John Ford. Unfortunately, Thornton's love for its iconography doesn't quite bring it to life.

    Vatel
    You could hardly ask for more from a historical spectacle: Silly wigs, plunging décolletage, lavish banquets in ornate halls, a stirring score from Ennio Morricone and witty dialogue by Tom Stoppard.
  8. An Everlasting Piece
    A bit of whimsy.

    Before Night Falls
    Bardem's performance is simply shattering.

    Come te nessuno mai
    Sharp-edged comedy.

    The House of Mirth
    With consummate grace and exceptional style, Terence Davies transformed Edith Wharton's caustic tragedy of manners into a somber, languid dream.
  12. Cast Away
    This is no film for the squeamish.
  13. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
    Often clever but fundamentally shallow, this shaggy-dog story is greatly enriched by its extraordinary bluegrass soundtrack, supervised by T Bone Burnett and performed by a phenomenal collection of artists.
  14. Dracula 2000
    In the end it's the same old blood pudding.
  15. The Family Man
    A surprisingly charming fable.

    Injeong sajeong bol geot eobtda
    With a little more plot, this could have been a killer.
  17. Miss Congeniality
    William Shatner's comic timing helps him nearly steal the picture.
  18. State and Main
    Mamet's jabs at Tinseltown's silken ruthlessness are quietly pointed, and the ensemble cast -- even the brittle and sometimes annoying Pidgeon (Mamet's wife) -- is brilliant.
  19. Exhuming Mr. Rice
    Aimed at youngsters, this odd mix of fantasy and disease-of-the-week conventions doesn't really gel, though its ambitions are laudable.
  20. Finding Forrester
    Well acted (notably by newcomer Brown), warm hearted and utterly predictable, this film is aimed squarely at everyone who loved "Good Will Hunting."
  21. The Gift
    Blanchett's quietly radiant performance anchors even the most outrageous plot developments, and she's well-supported on all sides.
  22. What Women Want
    A wildly overblown, unpleasantly smirky mess of a film.

    The Visit
    The result is so overloaded with extra characters, tangled story lines, dance numbers, fantasies and flashbacks that the once-simple plot feels puffed-up and irritatingly self-important.

    Pollock
    A smart but disappointingly conventional portrait of an artist who had little use for convention.
  25. Dude, Where's My Car?
    If you accept the film on its own brain-damaged level, there actually are laughs to be had.
  26. The Emperor's New Groove
    A comic masterpiece.
  27. Chocolat
    The film burbles with delightful dialogue and a sparkling sense of life.
  28. South of Heaven, West of Hell
    Directed and co-written by country singer Dwight Yoakam, this film just screams "vanity project."
  29. Vertical Limit
    Relentless parade of tragedy.

    Hillbrow Kids
    A little commentary would have helped put the tragedy of the Hillbrow Kids into sharper perspective.
