    The Idiots
    It's overtly about provocation, set in a tony Danish suburb where a group of men and women living commune-style in an empty house are discovering their "inner idiots" by pretending to be developmentally challenged.
  2. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    The best thing about it is the cast. Baldwin's moronic Barney is an acquired taste, but Krakowski is an adorable, sassy Betty, and Johnston brings an endearing coltishness to the sensible Wilma.

    Timecode
    Figgis's bold narrative strategy turns what could have been a standard-issue chronicle of shallow Hollywood lives into a fluid and enthralling experience.
  4. Where the Heart Is
    To be fair, this could have been worse.

    Croupier
    The film fires off too many intriguing plot possibilities that remain nothing more than that.
  6. Gossip
    Thoroughly preposterous on every level.
  7. The Last September
    There's a certain built-in poignance to the end-of-an-era proceedings here, regardless of how frostily they're dramatized.

    From the Edge of the City
    If it's not an entirely wholesome portrait of the immigrant experience, it's certainly an entertaining one.
  9. J'aimerais pas crever un dimanche
    If not an entirely successful film, it's a bold and haunting one.
  10. U-571
    It's straightforwardly entertaining and a genuine nail-biter.

    The Virgin Suicides
    The soundtrack (Heart, ELO, Todd Rundgren, and an original score by the French duo Air) is spot-on and the costume design (pukka shells and knee-socks) is hideously accurate.
  12. Love & Basketball
    The movie's performances, especially Lathan's, are strong enough to balance out the sometimes-clichéd script.
  13. Keeping the Faith
    A very entertaining, hugely neurotic romantic comedy.
  14. The Girl Next Door
    (Fugate's) portrait of Valentine/Baker is rich and compelling.
  15. Set Me Free
    Spare and quietly heartbreaking, this French-Canadian feature uses a fine brush to depict a teenage girl in the midst of a quiet crisis.

    The Specialist
    Presents the salient points of this troubling case with gripping concision.
  17. Third World Cop
    The script recycles clichés that go back to 1937'S "Dead End," the performances are one-note, and the whole thing has the flat, bright look of a TV cop show.

    American Psycho
    It's not a great film, but let's face it: Considering the source, this is as good as it was ever going to get.
  19. 28 Days
    Funny, thought-provoking and, yes, touching.
  20. Where the Money Is
    There's a caper and there are some laughs, but this isn't a larky caper flick; it's a pulpy little story that could at any minute go straight to hell.
  21. East Is East
    Mixes broad humor with a surprisingly subtle portrait of a family pulled in a bewildering variety of directions.
  22. Est - Ouest
    It's Deneuve, in little more than a cameo, who commands your attention and doesn't release you until she's good and ready.
  23. Restaurant
    Cudworth's script gives the characters more depth than is the genre norm, and the ensemble acting is terrific.
  24. La sindrome di Stendhal
    This psychological horror picture is harrowing and occasionally macabre -- you'll come away wondering what kind of father would cast his daughter in such a sexually brutal film.

    Southpaw
    If ever an English-language film needed English subtitles it's this.

    The Filth and the Fury
    This loud and exhilarating documentary from director Julien Temple brings it all back in a vitriolic spray of spite, spittle and raw rock and roll that still hits like a heart attack.

    Joe Gould's Secret
    Makes for a great story.
  28. Rules of Engagement
    It's a deftly executed crowd-pleaser, but it's dishonest to the core.
  29. Return to Me
    Essentially a romantic comedy with a heavier-than-usual dramatic component.
  30. Ready to Rumble
    An extremely loud and simpleminded cross between TV's "WWF Smackdown!" and "Dumb and Dumber."
