  1. Cotton Mary
    Serves as a fascinating exploration of racial and social prejudice; and an indictment of cultural miscegenation.
  2. Snow Day
    There's little here to offend anyone, and even less here to excite anyone.
  3. The Tigger Movie
    Feels more like an overblown TV special than a grand theatrical release.
  4. The Beach
    Relentlessly beautiful and wholly annoying.
  5. Scream 3
    It's plenty entertaining, but the ending is disappointing, given the buildup.
  6. The Cup
    A chalice of unpretentious delight, flowing over with goodwill, a cheeky love for soccer and, uh, Buddhist humor.
  7. Isn't She Great
    If it were the last videotape available in the only video store in the remotest corner of Alaska, I'd take one last slug of Jack Daniels and start walking directly into the howling snows.
  8. Down to You
    Neither character seems especially insightful, and their intense focus on the self and the terrific delicacy of their feelings comes to feel narcissistic and annoying.
  9. My Dog Skip
    I had to beg my 8-year-old to stop laughing.
  10. Next Friday
    Hilarious.
  11. Fantasia 2000
    Then as now, visually pleasant and (of course) musically wonderful but, all-in-all, a mixed bag.
  12. The Hurricane
    Brilliantly played by Denzel Washington
  13. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
    Extraordinary documentary.
  14. The Third Miracle
    I'd give this movie about half a miracle.
  15. Play It to the Bone
    As dull as the decor in a Motel 6.
  16. Titus
    There's something hideously pretentious about the whole thing.
  17. Galaxy Quest
    Funny without being flip.
  18. The Talented Mr. Ripley
    Enter the world of the sociopathic killer and enjoy.
  19. Snow Falling on Cedars
    Never transports you to another place and time, as it intends to.
  20. Angela's Ashes
    In the translation from page to film, the life seems to have gone out of the story
  21. Any Given Sunday
    It's about as deep as electronic white noise.
  22. Man on the Moon
    All credit to Carrey, whose one-man performance is almost enough to redeem the movie.
  23. Girl, Interrupted
    Tired conventions, hoary themes and obvious conclusions.
  24. Jing Ke ci Qin Wang
    A stunner -- as big and messy as a war, as small and perfect as a diamond.
  25. Bicentennial Man
    A cold, protracted and unemotional affair.
  26. Stuart Little
    The tale is propelled by its characters and buoyed by the film's warm and loving spirit.
  27. Topsy-Turvy
    A 160 minute work of sustained brilliance and delicacy.
  28. Anna and the King
    Fails as the big-screen romance it wants to be. The main problem: There's only one heart between the principals, and it beats solely in Chow's chest.
  29. Magnolia
    As intoxicating as the flower it's named for, and its characters, most of them as flawed and fascinating as the film itself, seem intoxicated by the overpowering scent.
  30. The Cider House Rules
    The movie is pure pro-choice agitprop, as it tracks Homer's conversion to the cause of choice and posits the heroism of the abortionist. Pro-lifers will hate it on that point alone.
