Top five movies

By STEVE PERSALL
Published August 17, 2006


Current movies recommended by the Times:

1. World Trade Center - Oliver Stone digs into the rubble of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and discovers heroism.

2. Little Miss Sunshine -Dysfunctional family road trips are a summer movie staple, but this one is smarter, funnier and warmer in spirit than most.

3. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - Will Ferrell gets back on track - the NASCAR circuit to be precise - after a string of disappointments.

4. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Who cares if Superman returns? Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is back with an adventure to shiver timbers and rattle funny bones.

5. Clerks II - Kevin Smith revisits the neighborhood that made him famous, discovering that everyone there is older, no wiser and still hilariously profane.
