Top 5 movies

By Times Staff
Published May 13, 2004

1. Dogville - Lars von Trier stirs America's melting pot with an allegory as stinging as the scenery is sparse. Nicole Kidman's keen performance leads an ensemble cast.

2. Troy - Brad Pitt cuts an imposing figure as Achilles the warrior in Wolfgang Petersen's brawny epic. Forget Van Helsing; this movie kicks off the real summer action season.

3. Mean Girls - Saturday Night Live head writer Tina Fey proves she's ready for Hollywood's prime time with a smart teen comedy for all ages.

4. Kill Bill: Vol. 2 - Uma Thurman continues her vengeance in a film so different from Vol. 1 that it's hard to believe they were once combined in one movie.

5. Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius - Earnest biography of the 1920s golf legend, featuring another strong, silent type performance by Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ).
