Times Staff
Published June 17, 2004

1. Super Size Me - Morgan Spurlock offers food for thought as he binges at McDonald's for a month, making points about America's fast-food obsessions.

2. The Terminal - Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg team again for a unique romantic comedy set mostly in a New York airport where a foreign visitor is stranded.

3. 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).

4. 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.

5. 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.
