2. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - Johnny Depp commits acting piracy with a flamboyant performance as Jack Sparrow, reportedly modeled on Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
3. Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West - The curved IMAX screen at Tampa's Museum of Science and Industry is an appropriately vast canvas for this documentary about the first American exploration of the Western frontier.
4. Finding Nemo - After toys, bugs and monsters, Pixar Animation Studios goes fishing for laughs and thrills in a terrific undersea adventure for the entire family.
5. Winged Migration - Extraordinary in-flight footage of various bird species makes this Academy Award-nominated documentary worth seeing.
