  1. The Road to El Dorado
    The movie itself may be a species of Montezuma's revenge.
  2. High Fidelity
    A guaranteed pleasure for anyone who ever loved pop music, owned a record collection or suffered in love
  3. The Color of Paradise
    A heartbreaker, plain and simple.
  4. Here on Earth
    A moldy teenage tear-jerker.
  5. Whatever It Takes
    It's still got some panache.
  6. Such a Long Journey
    There's a refreshingly unusual spirit at work.
  7. Waking the Dead
    This wonderfully acted romance brings the touching fantasy "Truly, Madly, Deeply" to mind.
  8. Romeo Must Die
    Based on "Romeo and Juliet" the way a martini is "based" on vermouth.
  9. Erin Brockovich
    It is a rabble-rousing cheerfest, based on a true story.
  10. Final Destination
    Your own final destination just might be the box office, to demand your money back.
  11. Beyond the Mat
    You don't have to love WWF scrapping to appreciate this movie.
  12. Deterrence
    A surprisingly gripping experience.
  13. Mission to Mars
    I'm not sure if it was that or the cloying script, but after a couple of hours of spinning around listening to this drivel I felt like I was going to barf.
  14. The Ninth Gate
    Polanski, generally, has fallen farther than Lucifer, and into a more profoundly depressing hell, the hell of utter banality.
  15. The Next Best Thing
    Really two movies in one, and there's not enough breathing room for both of them.
  16. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    It's too bloody to be funny and too silly to be dramatic and too self-indulgent to be anything other than what it is, one more bad movie.
  17. Drowning Mona
    I watched Mona. I felt like drowning.
  18. What Planet Are You From?
    Has its sinfully funny moments. Funny, that is, if you appreciate a certain cynical clamminess -- or Buck Henry seediness -- to your comedy.
  19. Judy Berlin
    Something to get excited about.
  20. Theeviravaathi: The Terrorist
    Extraordinarily poetic, suspenseful film.
  21. Reindeer Games
    Here's a film that so merrily thumbs its nose at propriety in exchange for visceral thrills, and at probability in exchange for the really cool plot twist, that it checks in as the guiltiest pleasure since "The 13th Warrior."
  22. The Closer You Get
    Derivative dumpling of a romantic comedy about Irish sexuality.
  23. Wonder Boys
    The sad truth is that Wonder Boys is little more than a sentimentalized encomium to the disheveled, childish life it ascribes to writers.
  24. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    A portrait of a hero.
  25. Beautiful People
    The movie's devil-may-care freneticism is edgily amusing, almost liberating.
  26. Boiler Room
    As a piece of journalism then, Boiler Room is first class.
  27. Hanging Up
    Essentially an extended cutesy session.
  28. The Whole Nine Yards
    This Matt Perry vehicle is funnier than anyone could hope to expect.
  29. Not One Less
    At first, the picture is moving. . And suddenly charm turns to quasi-commie didacticism.
  30. Pitch Black
    You are allowed to come up with a monster we haven't seen before.
