  1. Best in Show
    Blue-ribbon acting from both the four- and two-legged performers.
  2. The Tavern
    A lovely soundtrack by Irish balladeers the Saw Doctors can't make up for the rest of this belabored labor of love.

    Prince of Central Park
    Has the dubious appeal of a preachy "Afterschool Special."
  4. The Specials
    A very funny superhero spoof.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Fantasticks
    While the cast and songs are top notch, the predictability of the madness makes it pretty clear that this musical shouldn't have left the stage
  6. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Preposterous plotting and interchangeable young actors.
  7. Woman on Top
    Bright, bubbly and thoroughly inconsequential.

    Double Parked
    Simply exhausting; it wants to be funny and sad and lighthearted and serious all at once.

    Dancer in the Dark
    Aside from Bjork's astonishing performance, it's a grim tragedy that's deliberately drab and exceedingly painful to watch.

    Left Luggage
    Can a adorable, freckle-faced four-year-old save an entire movie? Sadly no.

    Chutney Popcorn
    What's amazing is how much first-time director Ganatra and cowriter Susan Carnival get right.

    Twilight: Los Angeles
    Part documentary, part one-woman quick-change show and part sociological investigation, this is enthralling theater with a purpose.
  13. Alma
    Enthralling, darkly funny, horrifying and hopeful.

    Under Suspicion
    Not even the high-caliber talents of Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman can save this stagy, ridiculously over-baked psychological thriller.
  15. Tigerland
    The stripped-down production give a disturbing sense of immediacy to an otherwise fairly conventional story about boys being prepared for war.
  16. On the Run
    A protracted piece of whimsy.

    The Price of Air
    Filled with long, obviously improvised pseudo-philosophical ramblings about nothing -- and that's before the drugs kick in.

    A Piece of Eden
    A modest but well-done film with a little something for everyone.

    Human Resources
    What could easily have been a dry, didactic film is granted unusual power by Cantet's cast, all of whom seem to innately understand the personal nature of Cantet's subject.

    Goya in Bordeaux
    This film's splendid visuals suit the subject, Spain's greatest painter, but its stilted dramatics are wholly at odds with Francisco de Goya's tumultuous life and times.
  21. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    Both informative and intensely moving.
  22. Circus
    There's nothing hugely original going on here, but as twisty-turny crime thrillers go, this one is perfectly entertaining.
  23. 30 Days
    Utterly amateurish.
  24. Crime and Punishment in Suburbia
    Melodramatic look at alienated California high school students.
  25. Bait
    Foxx is a charmer, and he makes Alvin's unlikely evolution from relentless hustler to reasonably solid citizen believable, and even rather touching.
  26. Urbania
    If this were a more mainstream film with a shot at a wider audience, we'd probably be talking Oscar nominations for Futterman and Ball.
  27. The Dream Catcher
    Sad, leisurely road picture.
  28. Duets
    This soft, formulaic comedy/drama has a far better cast than it deserves, and they work their hearts out trying to bring life to a cliched script.

    Paragraph 175
    Evokes feelings of fascination and heartbreak, as well as a sense of disbelief.
  30. Almost Famous
    Sharply observed, bittersweet and suffused with the kind of detail that only someone who lived through the era could summon up, Crowe's script is funny, heartfelt and very cool.
