  1. Dr T and the Women
    The movie's pleasures extend even to the visuals, which are more lustrous than in any other Altman movie.
  2. The Ladies Man
    This Paramount release doubles the insult because it rips off the title of one of the studio's best-remembered Jerry Lewis comedies.
  3. Billy Elliot
    You'd be hard-pressed to find a purer expression of rapture in a film this year than the one that opens Billy Elliot.
  4. Lost Souls
    It's a dated effort.
  5. The Contender
    Compelling and provocative -- though not memorable.
  6. Bamboozled
    On both technical and conceptual levels, Bamboozled is a movie that will leave Spike Lee fans bewildered.
  7. Meet the Parents
    With near-Swiss precision, director/producer Jay Roach and his writers make sure familiarity breeds hilarity.
  8. Girlfight
    A coming-of-age tale that truly floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.

  9. Remember the Titans
    Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, in an atypically high-minded and low-budget frame of mind, manages to breeze through most of the gridiron genre's obstacles with his admirable, crowd-pleasing Titans.
  10. Beautiful
    Burdened with so many poky scenes that it approaches the level of the distributor's "Drowning Mona" and "Whipped," both candidates for the year's worst.

  11. Best in Show
    This giggle does for dog shows what Rob Reiner's "This Is Spinal Tap" (in which Guest plays Nigel Tufnel) did for heavy metal.
  12. Woman on Top
    All coy and fey -- and painless to digest.
  13. Dancer in the Dark
    This is the kind of movie that has always polarized serious film folk, while the public usually elects to stay home and prune shrubs.
  14. Tigerland
    Worth a look. It's easy to overrate -- but just as easy to undervalue.
  15. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    Proves there are Holocaust stories still to be told.
    • USA Today
  16. Bait
    Has less substance and depth than its title.
    • USA Today
  17. Duets
    The ensemble cast, struggling with wanly written characters, hits more clunkers than high notes.
  18. Almost Famous
    A movie that is easily likable.
  19. The Way of the Gun
    Gives new meaning to the phrase "not for the squeamish."
  20. Nurse Betty
    Observing Zellweger as she dispenses her brand of movie magic definitely is good for what ails you.
  21. The Watcher
    It's still the same sick story. Even the small touches seem stale.
  22. Whipped
    A cynical sex comedy that manages to be infantile and jaded at the same time.

    • 21 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Highlander: Endgame
    Zealots flip over Endgame.
    • USA Today
  24. The Art of War
    Director Christian Duguay's gimmicky "thriller" demonstrates that he has not begun to master the art of suspense.
    • USA Today
  25. Bring It On
    It could be worse.
    • USA Today
  26. Love & Sex
    Flimsy little comedy unworthy of its portentous title.
  27. The Crew
    Often livens up stale material with disarming loopiness and zest.
    • USA Today
  28. The Original Kings of Comedy
    Both the material and the way it's delivered by the movie's comic quartet are so funny.
  29. Steal This Movie
    A film dealing fully with Hoffman's final years might have had a lot more punch.
  30. The Cell
    There's so little action or suspense that this Cell isn't too likely to multiply itself into a sequel.
