I loved all of the Jason Bourne movies, especially the one that started them all, "The Bourne Identity".  Say what you will about Roman Polanski but he knows how to make a movie, "The Pianist" is a tremendous film.  Speaking of great filmmakers, Martin Scorsese scored another one with "Gangs of New York".  Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill the Butcher was also worth the price of admission in that one.  I went into "Spider-Man" with low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised by Toby Maguire's depiction of Peter Parker.  "Austin Powers: Goldmember" was the funniest movie of 2002.  "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is everything a great movie should be.  Al Pacino, Robin Williams & Christopher Nolan make for a great combination in "Insomnia".   While I don't care much for Tom Cruise's religious beliefs, I love his movies, "Minority Report" is a very good action flick, having Steven Spielberg on board didn't hurt either.  It doesn't get much better than Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, "Red Dragon" continued that story.  Who doesn't like a good submarine thriller, "K-19: The Widowmaker" is a very good one, it's an intense, suspenseful movie made even more scary by the fact that it's based upon a true story.
