  1. Santitos
    A brightly colored, picaresque adventure that's equal parts telenovela melodrama and pop-magic realism.
  2. Isn't She Great
    Contains several profanely amusing moments, but they don't add up to much.
  3. Eye of the Beholder
    As meticulously deranged as its paranoid protagonist.

    Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her
    An imaginatively constructed soap-opera with a high-powered cast.
  5. Down to You
    No one expects a light teen romance to be "Madame Bovary," but this is Colorforms filmmaking.
  6. Wirey Spindell
    This sour coming of age story is a testament to his self-centeredness and dogged perseverance.
  7. Supernova
    This big budget mish-mash is almost unbelievably derivative and shockingly cheap looking.
  8. My Dog Skip
    Feels hokey, generic and dated.
  9. Next Friday
    Sporadically funny... occasionally very funny.
  10. Fantasia 2000
    Like the original "Fantasia's" eight segments, the results are a mixed bag.
  11. The Hurricane
    The material is inherently compelling and anchored by Washington's performance.

    The Third Miracle
    Without offering any hard and fast solutions to the essential mystery, this is a thought provoking drama about the nature of belief and devotion that never feels exclusionary.
  13. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
    Errol Morris' characteristically distanced documentary is empathetic without being especially sympathetic.
  14. Play It to the Bone
    Vince and Cesar have been written to evoke equal audience sympathy, so there's no suspense whatsover in the outcome of their climactic match-up, the brutal realism of Shelton's staging notwithstanding.

    Titus
    Much of it is inspired, some of it is downright awful, but it does entertain, even as it threatens to drown its generally fine cast in a flood of blood and sundry body parts.
  16. Galaxy Quest
    You don't have to be a Trek weenie to have a good time at this spoof cum homage to fandom and the enduring appeal of cheesy TV, but it helps.
  17. The Talented Mr. Ripley
    This coolly beautiful film is both a superior thriller and an engrossing study of a sociopath's progress.
  18. Any Given Sunday
    Stone handles his huge ensemble cast extremely well.
  19. Angela's Ashes
    Parker's adaptation is meticulous, unsentimental, beautifully acted-- but nearly two and a half hours worth of dying babies, rain-spattered streets, ragged children and filthy, bug-infested rooms is a bit oppressive.
  20. Man on the Moon
    Milos Forman's film is a series of incredible simulations that never quite cohere into a movie.

    Snow Falling on Cedars
    Flawed, but fascinating, this somber adaptation of David Guterson's award-winning novel is sometimes sluggish and difficult to follow, but it's also unexpectedly poetic.
  22. Girl, Interrupted
    There's very little plot, and director Mangold's attempts to make a connection between the social confusion of the '60s and Susanna's inner turmoil don't really work.
  23. Topsy-Turvy
    A loving, gently funny and slightly claustrophobic tribute to theatrical life.

    Anna and the King
    This is a smart and splendidly decorated rethinking of Anna Leonowens's famous chronicle
  25. Onegin
    Overall, this is the kind of thing that gives literary adaptations their bad name.
  26. Stuart Little
    A charming, technically sensational version of E.B. White's children's classic.
  27. Simpatico
    This stylized tale of guilt and retribution is a surprisingly sleek and affecting drama.

    Bicentennial Man
    The play for the heartstrings is so cold and calculated that the movie's sentimentality feels as synthetic as its hero, and the philosophy is simpleminded and lazy.

    Jing Ke ci Qin Wang
    The sheer size of the production dwarfs the human drama.
  30. Magnolia
    Anderson strikes a near flawless balance between looseness and structure, and indulges the occasional flight of cinematic fancy without undermining the movie's emotional integrity.
