  1. One Last Kiss
    It's not Fellini, by any means, but it's lively. Never stops moving, even though it crashes into cliches along the way.
  2. The Mexican
    Like many of his recent films, The Mexican would be an independent movie if Pitt, not to mention the queen of popcorn cinema, weren't part of the picture. This is not your typical star vehicle.
  3. A Civil Action
    A complex, compelling examination of personal-injury law as well as a portrait of personal redemption, the movie quickly sets its tone with a heartless summation of an individual's relative worth.
  4. The Whole Nine Yards
    This Matt Perry vehicle is funnier than anyone could hope to expect.
  5. The Winslow Boy
    The case is tried off-screen. Thank goodness for the maid (Sarah Flind), who runs home from her chores with tidings from the outside world -- we hear from the maid that Sir Bobby gave a helluva final argument. The jurors wept, the crowd went wild. Too bad we missed it.
  6. Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi
    Modest and winning.
  7. The Human Stain
    You feel as though you're watching a filmed play rather than a movie. Nothing wrong with that. But The Human Stain, directed more than well enough by Robert Benton, doesn't reach the emotional pitch it's shooting for.
  8. Last Night
    An end-of-the-world movie like no other.
  9. Twin Falls Idaho
    Entrancing, uncommonly compassionate film.
  10. Boyz n the Hood
    With its energetic cast and insistent street score, it still manages to be poignant without becoming bathetic, and violent without being exploitative.
