- The Truman Show, B+, interesting idea, good performances
- Gattaca, B+, great story and fine side performances
- Zero Effect, B, offbeat but fun take on Sherlock Holmes
- Babe: Pig in the City, B+, great acting performances by animals
- Pleasantville, B-, not subtle, but fun to watch
- Mulan, B, good story and animation, but lacks zip
- Saving Private Ryan, B, not sure what they are trying to say
- Antz, B, not the Disney formula, no Disney magic either
