  1. Lucky Numbers
    Lucky Numbers is anything but lucky for stars John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow.
  2. The Little Vampire
    A dreary poke-along adaptation of the Angela Sommer-Bodenburg children's stories.
  3. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    Can't scare up a decent plot.
  4. Bedazzled
    There's no real dazzle in Bedazzled.
  5. Calle 54
    The result is almost enough to make an audience levitate.
  6. The Legend of Drunken Master
    After so much frenetic kicking and grunting, you may feel like you're in a stupor, too.
  7. 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.
  8. Dr T and the Women
    The movie's pleasures extend even to the visuals, which are more lustrous than in any other Altman movie.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Lost Souls
    It's a dated effort.
  12. The Contender
    Compelling and provocative -- though not memorable.
  13. Bamboozled
    On both technical and conceptual levels, Bamboozled is a movie that will leave Spike Lee fans bewildered.
  14. Meet the Parents
    With near-Swiss precision, director/producer Jay Roach and his writers make sure familiarity breeds hilarity.
  15. Girlfight
    A coming-of-age tale that truly floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.

  16. 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.
  17. 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.

  18. 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.
  19. Woman on Top
    All coy and fey -- and painless to digest.
  20. 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.
  21. Tigerland
    Worth a look. It's easy to overrate -- but just as easy to undervalue.
  22. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    Proves there are Holocaust stories still to be told.
    • USA Today
  23. Bait
    Has less substance and depth than its title.
    • USA Today
  24. Duets
    The ensemble cast, struggling with wanly written characters, hits more clunkers than high notes.
  25. Almost Famous
    A movie that is easily likable.
  26. The Way of the Gun
    Gives new meaning to the phrase "not for the squeamish."
  27. Nurse Betty
    Observing Zellweger as she dispenses her brand of movie magic definitely is good for what ails you.
  28. The Watcher
    It's still the same sick story. Even the small touches seem stale.
  29. Whipped
    A cynical sex comedy that manages to be infantile and jaded at the same time.
