1. Minority Report -- Tom Cruise plays a futuristic cop whose department can predict who will commit murder and arrest them before the fact. Director Steven Spielberg once again proves he's the best science fiction filmmaker ever, even better than his pal George Lucas.
2. Lilo & Stitch -- A minor treat by Disney animation standards, but this odd coupling of an orphan girl and an alien creature has its moments. This is the second feature-length film produced at Disney's animation studio in Orlando.
3. The Sum of All Fears -- The best adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel since The Hunt for Red October, despite Ben Affleck's requiring an overhaul of the Jack Ryan role previously played by Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford.
4. Windtalkers -- Director John Woo's intriguing, intense tale of how the Navajo language was used to encode U.S. communications during World War II only occasionally lapses into cliches.
5. Men in Black II -- Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back as the universe's coolest cops, trailing an alien monster, disguised as a lingerie model looking like Lara Flynn Boyle, seeking to destroy Earth.
