  1. Guinevere
    Affecting, gloriously acted.
  2. Sugar Town
    May not rock the joint. But then, it isn't trying to.
  3. Blue Streak
    A pooped, poorly executed buddy-cop comedy with more cliches than expletives.
  4. For Love of the Game
    The baseball half of the story just slightly works. ... Nothing in [the other] half of the film works.
  5. American Beauty
    Hilarious, painful and brutally frank.
  6. Love Stinks
    This movie reeks, stinks, smells and destroys life as we know it with one olfactory destructive blast.
  7. Stigmata
    A vicious anti-Catholic diatribe disguised as an audition tape for MTV.
  8. Outside Providence
    Fitfully amusing but nothing remarkable
  9. Chill Factor
    An irredeemably transparent... DIRECT RIPPING OFF OF "SPEED."
  10. The Muse
    The list of great moments is virtually endless.

    A Dog of Flanders
    A beautiful, sad, spiritual story with joy and delicacy, visual chops and emotional depth.
  12. The 13th Warrior
    Too lightweight and streamlined to be memorable.
  13. Dudley Do-Right
    Performances feel too manufactured to be charming.
  14. In Too Deep
    Has a gritty authenticity to it … captures the spectacularly crazed quality of urban violence.
  15. Mickey Blue Eyes
    About as funny as digging your own grave in an unmarked part of New Jersey.
  16. Teaching Mrs. Tingle
    Lazily written and hopelessly miscast.
  17. Brokedown Palace
    This is not a fantastic movie. But there's more to it than just an MTV-slickified "Midnight Express" starring two young, photogenic stars.
  18. Bowfinger
    Lacks emotional depth and intellectual sincerity.
  19. Detroit Rock City
    Well, it could have been good. But this goofy homage to Kiss fans gets dry mouth pretty fast.
  20. Better Than Chocolate
    You'd think indie filmmakers would have learned by now that people tend to put on a sober face when addressed from the pulpit.
  21. Autumn Tale
    A movie that dares you to slow down and enjoy the subtleties of life.
  22. Mystery Men
    A live-action cartoon without dramatic focus, a solid structure or discernible theme.
  23. The Thomas Crown Affair
    A full-throttle fantasy, about as heady a movie experience as it gets.
  24. The Iron Giant
    Still, the movie -- as beautifully drawn, as sleek and engaging as it is -- has the annoyance of incredible smugness.
  25. The Sixth Sense
    It's like an enema to the soul as it probes the ways of death ? some especially grotesque in a family setting. You leave slightly asquirm. You know it will linger.
  26. Twin Falls Idaho
    Entrancing, uncommonly compassionate film.
  27. Runaway Bride
    [Gere] seemed to be improvising his way from beginning to end, like he was disgusted with the actual script.
  28. Deep Blue Sea
    You have a movie in which sharks with triple-digit IQs hunt humans with double-digit IQs. It’s no contest.
  29. Drop Dead Gorgeous
    Screenwriter Lona Williams and director Michael Patrick Jann spare no attempt to show characters at their zaniest, wackiest or most grotesque. The effect is disconcerting. Is this light comedy or dark satire? It ends up being neither.
  30. Inspector Gadget
    The movie, based on the TV cartoon series, is exceptionally pleasant, and there's just enough humor to make it enjoyable for adults.
