By Times Staff
Published March 11, 2004

1. The Fog of War - Former U.S. secretary of defense Robert McNamara contemplates U.S. mistakes in handling the Vietnam War, nudging viewers to consider comparisons to current situations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti. Winner of the Oscar for documentary feature.

2. The Passion of the Christ - Regardless of the violence and controversy, there's no denying that Mel Gibson's brutal, beautiful account of Jesus' last days is an instant biblical classic.

3. NASCAR 3-D: The IMAX Experience - An upclose and personal look at the hard-charging spectator sport, with the sensory assault only IMAX provides. Channelside Cinemas in Tampa only.

4. Touching the Void - Based on a true story of mountaineering survival, this hybrid of static documentary style and impressive re-enactments is a gripping tale.

5. Hidalgo - Viggo Mortensen goes from Hobbits to horses in an adventure allegedly inspired by true events.
