Top 5 movies

By Times staff

published October 3, 2002

1. Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival -- The 13th annual showcase for alternative cinema offers another lineup of daring films, guest appearances and community spirit.

2. One Hour Photo -- Robin Williams delivers a chilling, yet compelling performance as a lonely photo clerk taking an unhealthy interest in his customers' Kodak moments. So far, one of the best films of 2002.

3. My Big Fat Greek Wedding -- The sleeper hit of 2002 is still going strong at theaters after nearly five months. See it before the unavoidable sitcom and sequel. (My Big Fat Greek Honeymoon, perhaps?)

4. Moonlight Mile -- Strong performances by Dustin Hoffman, Susan Sarandon, Jake Gyllenhaal and newcomer Ellen Pompeo make this household tragedy worthwhile.

5. Red Dragon -- Hannibal Lecter devotees will appreciate another helping of his urbane menace. Thirty minutes later you'll be hungry for The Silence of the Lambs.
