  1. Boys Don't Cry
    A weeper poised to endure as one of the dominant independent features of the year.

  2. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    Only a grouch wouldn't be a little tickled.
    • USA Today
  3. Happy, Texas
    Neither the actors nor their characters engender much affection.
    • USA Today
  4. Mystery, Alaska
    If you drop the "c" in hockey you get a perfect description of Mystery, Alaska.
  5. Plunkett & Macleane
    The plunk-ing of a rap/disco soundtrack onto a movie about debtors' prisons and 18th century British highwaymen?
  6. Drive Me Crazy
    A minimally tolerable excuse to splice one or two perfunctory scenes between song cues.
    • USA Today
  7. Three Kings
    Visual pyrotechnics and dark humor aside, Three Kings rules because it dares to dig for such truths, whether banal or significant.
  8. Mumford
    Kasdan hasn't lost his touch at gathering terrific ensemble casts, although the performances are uneven.
  9. Jakob the Liar
    What it isn't ... is a particularly compelling contribution to the impressive and by now enormous collection of Holocaust movies.
  10. Guinevere
    The cumbersome wrap-up, which follows a four-year narrative gap, seems too fanciful and bogs down what has been a stronger second hour.

  11. Sugar Town
    While entertaining with its swipes at everything from health food to the Latin pop craze, the semi-sweet story is about as deep and meaningful as a groupie grope.
  12. For Love of the Game
    Tested my own love of the game more than anything since the time Roseanne screeched the national anthem.

  13. Blue Streak
    Thinking isn't going to do anyone a bit of good during Blue Streak. Turn off your brain instead and you might enjoy it.
    • USA Today
  14. American Beauty
    A singular accomplishment so specifically keyed to Spacey's talents that it mandates going out on a limb to say it contains the performance that will ultimately be regarded as "the one."
  15. The Minus Man
    There is no tension here. Actually, The Minus Man is minus a lot - intensity, a point of view, maybe even a point - and that equals an unsatisfying film.
  16. Love Stinks
    Love Stinks is what bad network TV comedy would be like if there were no censorship and less talent.
  17. Best Laid Plans
    Has the refined taste to crib from classics like "Double Indemnity."
    • USA Today
  18. Stigmata
    The scariest thing about this appalling and seemingly endless movie is that you paid for your ticket and now have to sit through it.
  19. Outside Providence
    Reeks of the kind of atmosphere that makes you reach for the Lysol.
  20. Chill Factor
    A substandard ebony-and-ivory buddy pic.
    • USA Today
  21. The 13th Warrior
    Dramatically empty Norse warrior adventure.
    • USA Today
  22. A Dog of Flanders
    A mongrel of a movie.
    • USA Today
  23. The Astronaut's Wife
    Allen Daviau's cinematography is so striking that the movie would probably play better with the sound off.
    • USA Today
  24. The Muse
    It's a case of laughing at Brooks but not necessarily with him.
  25. The Very Thought of You
    Close your eyes during this miserable romantic comedy.
  26. Dudley Do-Right
    Dead-carcass spinoff of Jay Ward's animated TV favorite.
    • USA Today
  27. In Too Deep
    Begins sinking in the shallow end almost at once.
    • USA Today
  28. Teaching Mrs. Tingle
    Mirren is about the only reason this slow-moving revenge tale tingles at all.
  29. Mickey Blue Eyes
    The beauty here is in the set-up, which offers Hugh Grant a role to match his star-making turn in "Four Weddings and a Funeral."
  30. Bowfinger
    Aside from the "Nutty Professor," this is the funniest Murphy comedy since the Reagan Administration.
