  1. Loser
    A sweet-natured and refreshingly uncartoonlike look at the trials of an unworldly Midwestern college boy negotiating his freshman year at NYU.
  2. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    Whatever the complicated truth about PTL, Tammy Faye's homespun charisma is undeniable; if only the Lord would give her the strength to say, "Get thee behind me, false eyelashes!"
  3. $pent
    The main characters are defined by their problems, and the secondary characters (notably Brigette's parents) are so crudely drawn it's hard to imagine what Cates was thinking.

    Alice et Martin
    That Techine manages to coax a somewhat happy ending from this staid, somber film is heartening proof that what doesn't kill us might indeed make us stronger.
  5. What Lies Beneath
    This slow, derivative chiller (which lifts liberally from "Ghost Story," "Rear Window" and "A Stir of Echoes") wastes far too much time on red herrings and telegraphs its plot points with painfully obvious dialogue.
  6. Rififi (re-release)
    Manages to inject more than a little humor into this tension-filled genre classic.
  7. Les amants criminels
    Imagine "Hansel and Gretel" by way of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
  8. Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    No better than the first.

    Benjamin Smoke
    Make sure you catch this spooky and strangely moving portrait of this highly unusual artist while you can.
  10. The In Crowd
    The greatest mystery, though, is how this thoroughly trashy picture wound up opening theatrically, rather than going direct to video.
  11. Fear of Fiction
    While his film is less than satisfying, it's a refreshingly off-kilter experience.

    The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me
    It exudes a slightly stale air that does nothing to dispel gay stereotypes.
  13. The Five Senses
    A self-consciously arty ensemble piece that's alternately exploitative, implausible and cliche ridden.
  14. The Wisdom of Crocodiles
    Nearly strangles in its own stylishness but benefits from smoldering performances.
  15. Shadow Hours
    Very entertaining, if thoroughly silly.
  16. X-Men
    Stylish, exciting and an occasionally poignant sci-fi adventure spectacle.
  17. Water Drops on Burning Rocks
    The whole thing has the air of a parlor trick, but it's a good trick, beautifully acted.
  18. The Big Blue
    Deeply adolescent; its impact is visceral rather than intellectual.
  19. Chuck & Buck
    Arteta wrings some laughs from their bizarre (and more than a little frightening situation), but they're uncomfortable laughs, emotional protection from the freak show.
  20. The Kid
    Manipulative but fitfully entertaining "Twilight Zone"-ish comedy of redemption.
  21. All the Rage
    The climactic shootout might have more impact if we actually cared about the so-called characters.

    The Decline of Western Civilization Part III
    Spheeris succeeds in creating a touching portrait, although the depressing nature of their dead-end, emotionally numb lives offers little hope for a cheerful resolution.
  23. I'm the One That I Want
    On the downside, it's slackly edited -- comedy is, after all, all about timing and there are way too many lengthy shots of Cho waiting for her audience to respond.
  24. Shower
    This gentle, slow-moving film contains some charming sequences but no new insights into the pleasures and burdens of family.
  25. But I'm a Cheerleader
    Most of the film's imagination and energy seem to have gone into the clever casting and flamboyant costume and set design.
  26. Scary Movie
    Surprisingly cohesive.
  27. The Perfect Storm
    Overall, the book is a far more rewarding experience than the movie.
  28. The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
    This megastar mix of CGI animation and live action is remarkably faithful to the spirit of the original.

    Trixie
    In the long, hit-and-miss career of writer-director Alan Rudolph, this misbegotten comedy falls squarely into the miss bin.
  30. The Patriot
    Undeniably handsome..., but no cliché is left unturned, right down to the spray of toy soldiers falling from the hand of a dead child. Everything old isn't new again.
