  1. Pollock
    The movie falls short of achieving its apparent goal: being the "Raging Bull" of the art world.

  2. Dude, Where's My Car?
    Any civilization that can produce a movie this stupid probably deserves to be hit by famine and pestilence.

  3. The Emperor's New Groove
    The goofiest, giddiest and, yes, grooviest animated trip since Aladdin unbottled its genie.
  4. Chocolat
    Never enough goodies to keep the two-hour running time from seeming like three.
  5. Vertical Limit
    The action scenes in Vertical Limit take cliffhanging to the highest peaks of excitement. It's a shame the story keeps dragging us down to sea level.
  6. Proof of Life
    It's never enough of a grabber to keep the mind from wandering to the romance it apparently sparked.
  7. Dungeons & Dragons
    Worst of all, Marlon Wayans' performance as a cowardly thief would have seemed in bad taste a half-century ago.

  8. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    This is a great movie, but it needs a sales job because it's in Mandarin.
  9. 102 Dalmatians
    Though 102 Dalmatians digs up little new ground and muzzles its villain, it does have a fetching sense of functional fun now and then.
  10. Quills
    Uniformly robust acting puts still more feathers in the caps of Rush, Winslet and Caine.
  11. Unbreakable
    Shyamalan's style is so exaggerated, with its long pauses and exacting rhythms of sound- vs.- silence, that it easily can engender eye-rolling and snickers.
  12. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
    Overproduced and essentially charmless.
  13. Bounce
    Truth is, Affleck and Paltrow flunk Chemistry 101. They aren't believable even as a fake couple.
  14. The 6th Day
    Edited like the world's most expensive car ad. The screen opens and closes like a nervous accordion, and the action shifts speeds like crazy.
  15. Rugrats in Paris: The Movie - Rugrats II
    Great movies are sometimes described as filet mignon or champagne, but this one is more like a pacifier.
  16. One Day in September
    Comprehensive and blisteringly paced.
  17. Little Nicky
    Don't put yourself through this hell.
  18. You Can Count on Me
    The best drama you've seen about Anytown, USA, since "American Beauty."
    • USA Today
  19. Red Planet
    You can always judge a sci-fi thriller by its aliens. What does Planet offer -- Space roaches.
  20. Men of Honor
    Flaws and all, Men of Honor ultimately does its duty. It honors the feats of an incredible man.
  21. The Legend of Bagger Vance
    Molasses-paced fable.
  22. Charlie's Angels
    It's to these Angels' credit that they, like the movie, are at least intermittent fun.
  23. What's Cooking?
    More interesting as a sociological study than successful as a movie, What's Cooking? gets more involving as it strolls along.
  24. Lucky Numbers
    Lucky Numbers is anything but lucky for stars John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow.
  25. The Little Vampire
    A dreary poke-along adaptation of the Angela Sommer-Bodenburg children's stories.
  26. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    Can't scare up a decent plot.
  27. Bedazzled
    There's no real dazzle in Bedazzled.
  28. Calle 54
    The result is almost enough to make an audience levitate.
  29. The Legend of Drunken Master
    After so much frenetic kicking and grunting, you may feel like you're in a stupor, too.
  30. Pay It Forward
    Either you will weep uncontrollably during the final 10 minutes or so of this bittersweet fable...or the urge to gag will be overwhelming.
