  1. Girlfight
    A scrappy independent film that packs the same emotional punch as "Rocky."
  2. Remember the Titans
    So smug and so proud of itself, and you can tell that everybody involved conceives of it as a civics lesson instead of a story, that they squeeze all the life out of it.

    Barenaked in America
    Its scope isn't broad enough to draw in the uninitiated.
  4. Best in Show
    Just isn't as fresh, focused or uniformly funny as "Waiting for Guffman."
  5. Chutney Popcorn
    Its easygoing, disarming air will endear it to its target audience, who will appreciate this movie as much for the lifestyle it depicts as its actual story.
  6. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    The only quandary in this film is in where to begin despising it.
  7. Woman on Top
    The mind will be starved for subtlety, wit and substance.
  8. Dancer in the Dark
    You may leave this movie exhilarated by its no-holds-barred boldness or annoyed and bewildered at the unpredictable course it takes.
  9. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
    Breaks no new ground.
  10. Duets
    A conceptual train wreck, with half an idea scattered like disaster debris all over the screen.
  11. Urbania
    There's no denying its surreal, hypnotic effect.
  12. Human Resources
    Far from an amusing romp.
  13. Goya in Bordeaux
    The camera, freed to glide, flows as if through the old man's memory, discovering both the glory of his life and the tragedy.
  14. Bait
    Ought to be called "Hook, Line and Stinker."
  15. Almost Famous
    This is wonderful stuff, as far as it goes.
  16. The Watcher
    It's something no one should watch.

    Backstage
    Mostly, these guys carry on like spoiled children, complaining, roughhousing and badgering women to strip naked.
  18. Nurse Betty
    Nurse Betty is this year's "Being John Malkovich"-an utter original with a little something to say and a way of saying it that manages to be at once delightful and bilious.
  19. The Way of the Gun
    It's good fun for bad boys.
  20. Whipped
    Puerile bluster.
  21. Titanic Town
    In its heart burns the indomitable flame of the human spirit.
  22. The Crew
    When a burning rat is the funniest thing in your movie, I think you're in big trouble, even in Miami.
  23. Bittersweet Motel
    You don't have to be a Phishead to enjoy Bittersweet Motel.
  24. Solomon & Gaenor
    It doesn't lack for emotional intensity or persuasive, three-dimensional characters.
  25. Love & Sex
    An endearing comic roundelay about the can't-commits.
  26. Bring It On
    A spoofy paean to cheerfolk that has more bounce per flounce than most tales about teen queens.
  27. The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack
    The film-which at 112 minutes, ends up ramblin' like its subject-does provide compelling rehab for an underrated artist.
  28. The Cell
    Riveting in its low way. It traffics in imagery profoundly disturbing.
  29. Godzilla 2000
    Godzilla, go home.
  30. Steal This Movie
    It couldn't be any less revolutionary in style. It is straighter than a guitar string.
