1. Insomnia -- Al Pacino and Robin Williams play intricate cat-and-mouse games in a moody thriller from director Christopher Nolan, creator of Memento. This one plays it forward, just as effectively.
2. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones -- George Lucas brings balance back to the Force, continuing the Skywalker family saga with dazzling digital effects, mature drama and Yoda kicking butt. See it digitally projected at Parkside 16 in Pinellas Park, if possible.
3. Spider-Man -- This spider has box office legs. The Marvel Comics webslinger continues his record-setting debut at theaters. Extra popcorn, please.
4. About a Boy -- Oversexed womanizer (Hugh Grant) befriends the boy (Nicholas Hoult) posing as his son to impress single mothers. Witty adaptation of Nick Hornby's unsentimental novel.
5. Hollywood Ending -- Woody Allen's latest slice of neurotic life concerns a filmmaker (played by himself) working while temporarily blind. His funniest work in years.
