1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - The young wizard's saga isn't kid stuff any more, not since adolescence and a murderer started troubling Harry (Daniel Radcliffe).
2. Shrek 2 - DreamWorks succeeded in making a rare sequel that exceeds the original. Don't worry: At least two more Shrek adventures are in the works.
3. The Day After Tomorrow - Director Roland Emmerich creates a thinking person's disaster flick, at least as much as the genre allows, with Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal outracing a new Ice Age.
4. I'm Not Scared - An Italian boy stumbles onto a kidnapping and befriends the hostage. An unusual blend of coming-of-age and caper conventions.
5. Troy - Brad Pitt cuts an imposing figure as Achilles the warrior in Wolfgang Petersen's brawny epic. Forget Van Helsing; this movie kicked off the real summer action season.
