>American Beauty This blistering satire about suburban malaise won the Oscar for Best Picture. So go already. (R)

Erin Brockovich Julia Roberts rules. Tremendously entertaining drama stars Roberts as a law-office filing clerk who helps uncover illegal toxic dumping. Based on a true story. (R)

Here on Earth Gooey weepie with Leelee Sobieski and Chris Klein plays like teenage version of 1970's Love Story. Strictly for the under-20 set. (PG-13)

High Fidelity Appealing romantic drama about a record-store owner (John Cusack) desperately trying to resolve his love life. Look for Catherine Zeta-Jones in a funny, unbilled cameo. (R)

Price of Glory Stuck on the canvas. Earnest but clichéd boxing drama stars Jimmy Smits as a dad who pushes his sons into pugilistic careers. (PG-13)

The Road to El Dorado Animated feature, set in 16th-century Spain, follows two con men who set out to find the fabled lost city of gold. Okay, but no more. (PG)

The Skulls

Bone-headed thriller. Ivy League senior (Joshua Jackson) is recruited to join a prestigious secret society and discovers—he horror, the horror—hat it's evil. (PG-13)
