Top 5 movies
By Times Staff
Published October 20, 2005
Current movies recommended by the Times:
1. North Country - Academy Award winners Charlize Theron, Sissy Spacek and Frances McDormand help make this fact-based tale of sexual harassment memorable.
2. Everything is Illuminated - A compulsive collector (Elijah Wood) travels to eastern Europe to locate the woman who saved his grandfather during the Holocaust. Directed with uncommon assurance by first-timer Liev Schreiber.
3. Memory of a Killer - A professional killer (Jan Decleir) eludes police while stalking whoever hired him for a particularly seamy assignment. Shown with English subtitles.
4. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit - Nick Park already won two Academy Awards for short films starring these wonderful characters. Now he's a candidate for a third, in the feature length animation category.
5. In Her Shoes - Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette are combative sisters in a smartly written, well-acted example of the "chick flick" genre.
