    Show Me Love
    Shot on reverse film, poet-turned-director Lukas Moodyson's debut feature has a grainy, immediate feel that nicely enhances the story's emotional honesty.
  2. Bats
    A straight-faced throwback to the glory days of mutant wildlife on the rampage.
  3. The Story of Us
    Slick and glib when it means to be profound yet ruefully witty; its rhythms are pure sitcom, complete with emotional rimshots.
  4. L'ennui
    Catches you with a creepy sucker punch.

    Defying Gravity
    What really undoes writer-director John Keitel's admirable intentions is the general lack of artistry on virtually every level.
  6. Joe the King
    In the end, the film feels a little futile; its relentless, one-miserable-note tone is numbing.
  7. That's the Way I Like It
    There's something inherently funny and surreal about Chinese kids speaking Singlish while trying to be goombahs from Brooklyn.
  8. Julien Donkey-Boy
    Juvenile and pointless.

    Five Wives, Three Secretaries and Me
    A privileged peek into the glitzy world of Texas's ultra-rich, minus the melodrama.

    The Straight Story
    Oddly enough, this uncharacteristic offering from a director whose name instantly evokes a very particular kind of film -- call it postmodern American gothic -- is also one of his best.
  11. Fight Club
    A brilliantly realized series of sucker punches, a philosophical howl disguised as a muscular guy movie.

    The Omega Code
    Code Word: Bad!
  13. The Grandfather
    Veers inconsistently between sit-com jokeiness and nostril-flaring melodrama.
  14. Random Hearts
    There's just no reason why it should take more than two hours for so little to happen.
  15. The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human
    Slight, smart-alecky romantic comedy.

    Molly
    For all its sensitivity, the film abounds with movie cliches about the developmentally challenged.

    The Sticky Fingers of Time
    Manages to create a great deal of ambiance and a few thrills on a shoestring.
  18. The Limey
    This intelligent, oddly aloof thriller is a worthy follow-up to director Steven Soderberg's "Out of Sight."
  19. Beyond the Clouds
    A sad blot on an impressive career.

    Whiteboyz
    Hoch's very funny satire on racial stereotyping cuts both ways.
  21. Superstar
    A delightful surprise, a tightly written, savvy slapstick comedy with genuine heart.

    Boys Don't Cry
    Swank's nuanced performance is remarkable and it's a powerful film.
  23. New Rose Hotel
    A painfully claustrophobic picture.

    Bandits
    The rogue feminism of "Thelma and Louise," mix in some of "Rock 'N' Roll High School" punk-rock energy.

    The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    It's strictly for the kids, and they'll be tickled.

    Happy, Texas
    A wonderful premise that delivers solid laughs and has a heart as big as the state in which this farce unfolds.
  27. Mystery, Alaska
    There are people who eat this kind of thing right up -- if you're one of them, dig in.
  28. Plunkett & Macleane
    It's vulgar, to be sure, but it's also brash and invigorating.
  29. Drive Me Crazy
    Smarter and more engaging than it has to be.
  30. Three Kings
    An astonishing movie that keeps you off-balance from the first scene.
