1. Camp - A summer camp for musically gifted teenagers is the setting for writer-director Todd Graff's showcase of young talent and romantic cliches with a gay edge.
2. And Now, Ladies and Gentlemen - A jewel thief (Jeremy Irons) suffering from blackouts meets a cabaret singer (Patricia Kaas) on the romantic rebound in Claude Lelouch's sentimental but tres cool drama.
3. The Secret Lives of Dentists - Campbell Scott (Roger Dodger) plays a mild dentist suspecting his wife (Hope Davis) of infidelity, while Denis Leary serves as his oily alter ego.
4. Northfork - The dying days of a 1955 Montana town bring all sorts of miracles in a moody fantasy from twin filmmakers Mark and Michael Polish. Nick Nolte and James Woods co-star.
5. Bugs! - Forget the lousy optical effects of Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. This 3-D documentary about Malaysian rain forest insects is the real deal, and an IMAX-sized presentation to boot.
